Excuses for Islam

[TerraRayzing]

Do you think something contributed to his performance? He had a bad weight cut, didn't have time to hydrate, khabib wasn't there, the Perth crowd got him shook.
I don't think it was anything and volk was just that fucking good and damn near unbeatable but I'm interested to hear opinions.

Links to excuses and link about a broken hand.

There are no excuses once the cage close.

 

[Megatronlee]

He went to land down under and barely made it out.


Nobody wanted him to win out there.

it was full crocodile dundee shit dog. It’s a volk world and we are just living in it

imagine having to make excuses as to why you won the fight?? You all are idiots.

Volkanovski had better movement and was stronger than his typical opponents, much of which are mediocre.

Islam still won the fight, landed well. I'd say his stock remains the same, volk is just really good.

 

[jooohnmatrix]

He beat volk up on the feet, you know where everyone said he’d lose. People need to turn the commentary down, volk was annihilated bar two mins of the last round.

Dude, he did get pummeled in the final round of a fight his fan boys thought would be a cake walk.

 

[Buff]

They should fight in Colorado next.

Let's see Islam fight at high altitude.

 

[warriorfan808]

He did stack the deck against himself by taking the fight in Volk's backyard. Whatever the case, I see Volk getting a rematch if the two continue to dominate their weight classes. Hopefully the next fight will be on neutral ground.

No need to be upset. It's just a discussion.

 

[DOMMA]

No need to be upset. It's just a discussion.

Well said.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

No excuses can be made. It was a back and forth battle that could have gone either way. Far from the complete domination I expected from Islam.

Nope, Volk clearly won round 3 and 5.

Nope, Volk clearly won round 3 and 5.

Lol

 

[Johnny_Knuckles]

No excuses, Islam just never was any good

 

[Dog Gynecologist]

No excuses, Islam just never was any good

And Volkanovski is the GOAT

 

[gracie_barra_samurai]

The 36 hour to 24 hour rehydration must have made a decent difference. When you've always cut based on 36 hours, 12 hours can make a massive difference. Especially as Volk wasn't doing a normal cut.

Volk might struggle out there if he cuts to 145 with the same rehydration time frame.

 

[Redando]

Islam was not in a good physical condition.
He was preserved with his energy.
he didn’t use his wrestling much.
When he got his back he didn’t try to use strength for a submission.

I think he had a bad weight cut. He also had less time to hydrate.

 

[Rektkid]

No excuses Volk is the GOAT imo but Islam still won.

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

I need to watch the next title defense in LW, to have a better idea of Volky's fight, regardless, he was a beast, huge respect.
