Not Volk vs Max again...

 

[Dorkman]

I mean...I'm down for the fight. But i think it means it'd be Max vs Volk 4. Unless Volk manages to beat Islam and remains at 155. Or I guess if Topuria is the one to finally crack the legendary chin.

 

[Pechan]

You can't make this shit up

 

[AmbassadorFright]

Topiuria doesn't have the best resumé but if Max wins this we gotta see Volk vs Max 4 after the threepeat

hand sanitizer boy? title shot? Give me a break.

Man if we miss out on Volk vs. Topuria and get a fourth Holloway fight all because they decided have Volk be a last minute replacement, that would suck. I think they should have used their tabbed replacement in Gamrot, gone ahead with Volk/Topuria, then considered the rematch if they both won.

Well for the fans sake hopefully Islam just submits him in the 1st so he can go back down to 145 and make the date. I don't want to see this fight Max doesn't turn me on.

Jesus. Blaydes falling out against Almeida, Oliveira falling out against Makhachev, Volk rolling off the couch to fight Makhachev again under pretty... non-ideal circumstances. And now to top it all off there's a good chance we're going to see Max derail yet another promising challenger at Featherweight? Clown show.

Oh boy, Volk/Max 4 is a possibility...

@Adamant__ you know better than this, random thoughts & ideas from Helwani don't qualify for "RUMORED". These MMA instagram pages will run with anything, there's no inkling of legitimacy to this matchup as of now less than 24 hrs after everything got shook up.

So many crazy things happened today. I don't even know at this point lol. I hope you're right, there's no need for this fight right now. Ilia can wait.

 

[Kenny Powerth]

No need whatsoever so an interim belt

 

[Soggust]

Called this last night. Makes too much sense because Max will sell in Canada.

Ye, that's why it's "Rumored". Sometimes they share the actual news, sometimes they're just clickbaiting. You can never be sure lol.

Thanks for the update @Substance Abuse

 

[whocares]

This is a great match-up, don't care about the repercussions. Thats on the UFC anyway. Hope it goes down.

 

[Gilday]

Ffs, it's not Max's fault, but he's just killing off contenders for Volk to fight at this point

Mod Edit:

I don't agree with everyone worrying about Volk vs Max 4. If Max vs Topuria is the next fight, I'm pumped. It's a great fight and Ilia has a chance. Max has a lot of miles on the odometer and Volk is getting up there in age. Both of them won't win forever (when they aren't fighting each other). Since Volk is fighting Islam there is only one thing I can say. Book it Dana!
