Ever heard of a fighter getting slept twice in a row an than get a title shot?

[rjmbrd]

never lost at featherweight other than Ilia, he deserves one last shot

Volkanovski hasn't won a fight since 2023.

This is a absolute ridiculous, clown show booking. This is for a fake belt.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Yes

Huh, I'll have to consult my local rankings committee about this

 

[contrail]

Volk is beating lopes i don't understand why anyone thinks otherwise. Lopes isn't topuria or Islam. It's gonna look like the yair fight.

Lopes & Yair are about as different in style as you can possible get. Outlandish take.

 

[TITS]

He isn't Mexican. And I definitely think they would want a Mexican champ over a Brazilian one....

Yeah, I forgot he's actually Brazilian but trains in Mexico. The penis-head haircut still stands though.

Hitler in the front, party in the back...

When moving up in weight for a super fight - I don't think it should count as a big negative for chances in your original weight class.

Not arguing Volk should get a title shot though, he doesn't have enough recent wins.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

That kind of favoritism makes Frankie Edgar jealous, who got a title shot after 2 decision losses

Holly Holm also got a title shot after two losses.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Not slept but TKO'ed back to back in title fights against Josh Barnett then Ricco then got another titleshot right after that against Chuck

Then he eventually lost the trilogy fight against Chuck then got a title shot at HW against Sylvia.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Lets not push it.
Frankie edgar has the greatest feat of dana white privilege ever.
3 title fight losses in a row in 2 different weight classes.
That shit was possible only back when UFC earned as much as a small town mall and will never be replicated.

Urijah Faber and Kenny Florian had like 4 title shots. They wanted those guys to be champ so bad. lol

 

[mister piscadinha]

it should be evloev vs lopes 2 for the title

volk should fight down

 

[pclanadmin2]

Because he was one of the best fighters in the world at the time. Does your mom have to first chew the food that you consume?

I read this post, in this guy's voice.

I agree his hairstyle is idiotic

 

[LindyBrah]

7-0 nobody with no other commiserate combat sports experience fighting in current year for UFC is lame

 

[JustBreed]

Appears they want an Aussie champion, badly. Presume they have plans of going back at some point relatively soon

What goods an Australian champion? You do realize Aus only has a population of 25M, right? Also, their cards sell out venues no matter how shit they are

 

[fortheo]

For everyone calling it a fake belt, then UFC can send their best guy to try to take that fake belt off the winner's hands. It will resolve itself by the end of the year.

 

[Fact Checker]

Australasians getting all sorts of unwarranted title shots right now…

JDM who’s done absolutely nothing at WW.

KKF is who’s 1-2 in his last 3

0-2 Volk who’s had his chin blown off in his last two…


Clown world marketing by the UFC manipulating their prop rankings.

 

[cheesus]

I recall Eilers getting a shot after getting knocked out by Paul "Fear The Consequences" Buentello

 

[Discjockeyshtud]

Eilers should never have feared Paul, just the consequences

 

[KillerIsBack V2]

Urijah Faber and Kenny Florian had like 4 title shots. They wanted those guys to be champ so bad. lol

So? Faber never had any title fights in a row.
Everytime he lost one he had to earn it back.

I don’t remember anything special about Ken, but I dont think it’s worth a wiki search. You’re exaggerating this one most likely too.

Like I said before, nobody has ever or will ever get the privilege of 3 title fight losses in a row. Never happened in bellator, ONE, PFL, or even on the regional or even amateur scene.

 

[WelcometoHell]

Well... you have now

Featherweight sucks dude

Ilia made the right decision moving up 100%

 

[daydrinking]

You actually believe the UFC wants a Mexican whose head looks like a penis with a Hitler mullet to be their next champ?

Hitler didn't have a mullet
