Evloev fight is why you should never

Nice try

The org is a lot more important than the division. You can find guys in any division that are can crushers. You just haven't heard of most of them because no one's scouting them. But they're out there, waiting to be exposed.

I’m referring to folks downplaying Islam’s double digit win steak because “he didn’t beat anyone”. My point is wracking up a double digit win streak in the toughest division in the ufc is by itself a worthy reason for a TS. Winning that consistently at that level is hard as hell, damn near impossible actually!! This Evloev near miss is just another data point supporting that. By all accounts Evloev should’ve steam rolled this guy, he’s a “can”.

Because Volkanovski is the champion of his division?

Well yeah but he's acting like it's egregious or something that the #1 guy would wreck the #10 guy. Isn't that usually obvious?

 

[biscuitsbrah]

He’s lost fights but got the decision before

 

[Mike]

He keeps calling out Volk.

Yeah I remember stun gun calling out gsp too lmao.

 

[mister piscadinha]

both looked good

lopes with tighter striking and improved tdd would be a force
evolev won't beat volk, but he gives everyone else a decent challenge

He's super slow standing and doesn't have much power. His pressure and volume on the feet is good and he's not sloppy technically but pretty basic and hittable. His wrestling is good but guys like Lentz and Grundy could largely match it so you gotta assume when he faces better athletes with good takedown defense and reliable cardio he will struggle. I'd love to see someone like Arnold Allen vs Evloev, even Kattar, Bryce, Sodiq would be good.

Still think Evloev is Volks toughest test or one of them?

Still think Evloev is Volks toughest test or one of them?

Probably not.

Ok yeah, there's a big diff between "win streak at LW" and "win streak at LW in the UFC"
