I Hope The UFC Does Not Go Through With This Planned Ilia-Volk Rematch

[Sean Chowdhury]

volkanovski got ko'd right in front of his buddy zuck last time, same thing will happen again but this time in the first round

 

[Hymen Crusher]

He might lose but Volk is the 2nd best fighter in the division.

 

[Jackonfire]

He might lose but Volk is the 2nd best fighter in the division.

He should fight either Evloev or Lopes to prove he's still second best. Personally I think Ilia needs to fight Evloev next.

 

[Dr Fong]

The people saying Volk 'needs time off' know he hasn't fought in a year, and considering this fight isn't even signed, it will be a minimum of 15 months, right?

This is U Fight Cheap. It's not ideal to get a title shot just from losing 3 of your last 4 fights - you also need to sit on the bench and fade into obscurity first.

 

[Croaker]

Yup definitely a casual.

There are plenty of examples of guys that are good at taking shots but don't when they come back quick after a tko or ko

Machida
Frankie Edgar
Stipe
Wanderlei
Weidman

Just to name a few. All of them came back quick after getting rocked badly or ko/tkoed, just to get ko/tkoed by a shot that normally wouldn't

Lmao @ all of this

1. I specifically said lighter weight classes

2. All of those dudes had glass jaws after being deaded

3. Recovering in a fight isn't the same as getting absolutely slot machined by a dude who weighs as much as a middle school girl

 

[BowserJr]

I'm not sure the examples you provided would qualify as sufficient data for a study published in the american journal of medicine.

This sounds more like classic "Joe Rogan bro science" to me.

Ah so to you, you cannot trust your own eyes or observations. The only thing you can believe is what someone else tells you to believe as long as it's under the table of science or peer reviewed. Though I suspect you never actually investigate the scientific research much less the peer reviews so you just believe wholesale what someone else tells you as long as it's the correct label and you believe that, again over your own lived experience and observations... good job dude

 

[JoeRowe]

Ilia vs Evloev
Volk vs Lopes

Both on UFC 312 in Miami. This is the logical & meritocratic way.

LOL at thinking someone who weighs 160lbs more or less is the same weight as an average middle school girl... or do you not know how weight cutting works? You just keep digging a bigger and bigger hole SMH

Lol @ thinking Volk bloating like a fatass between fights is walk around weight, thats in shape. When you're walking and in shape, not walking around like a bloated whale. Ilia probably walks around 160-165 at most. Still a midget.

You keep thinking you have gotchas on me and they don't even work cuh, just admit you're wrong. Its fine.

youre actually doubling down on fighters not gaining weight after a weight cut while admitting that they do. You can't even keep a coherent thought LMFAO!

I'm fine with this and whoever loses lopes v volk still needs just 1 more decent win for the next shot

 

[Strijfy]

Lopes is looking good, but is he really championship material yet?

 

[Simple Southerner]

 

[jasoncrosby]

It’s crazy that some people actually believe Volk doesn’t deserve an immediate rematch. He has only one fucking loss as a featherweight. Are some people really putting so much emphasis on that KO loss to Makhachev when he stepped in from his couch on, what, seven days notice to save the card?

Even in the Ilia fight, he was looking solid until that KO, but ultimately everyone can agree that he came back too early. He absolutely deserves the rematch, and it's very possible it could be a highly competitive fight, or perhaps not. But its still a fight that needs to be made.

 

[djacobox372]

The idea that a guy can go from GOAT of his weight class to not worthy of a rematch in one fight is ridiculous.

 

[pamirec]

Kinda stupid to pass up on the young bucks for Volk who is on a three fight losing streak...

Two actually. The UFC will give him the rematch. It’s obvious they have a soft spot for Volk.

 

[pamirec]

I think Volk deserves the rematch. He saved the Abu Dhabi card when he stepped in against Islam. Pretty sure he’d have looked different against Ilia had he not taken the rematch vs Islam.

 

[sonhow]

Ufcs strategy seems to be booking these "lets get it out of the way" title fights. Kinda like veggies to kids who hate veggies but without actual benefits.

 

[Dave Poodle]

They've given immediate rematches to champs who did far less than Volk so it would be ridiculous if he didn't get it.

I never said they couldn't, your stupid ass arguing whats called a straw man. Please shut the fuck up.
