Josh Emmet deserves the title shot against Volk

Giga we can't forget about

You can forget about him until he actually beats Kattar.

And what if Kattar wins? Does he get the same special treatment as Giga, or is he not even considered because he lost to Max?
 
It's an easier fight for sure I think. But I don't think Volk is too terrified against any of them. Right now Max is the only guy that he really has to worry about.
There's a reason why he's calling for KZ specifically instead of saying I'll fight anyone. KZ lost to Ortega. Yair gave Max a war. Emmet can put him out if he happens to catch him. Giga is a wild card. He is picking the most favorable match up for himself that's why he is calling out KZ right away instead of letting things play out like waiting for the results of Giga's fight.

Yair is an easy fight if Volk wrestles

True he'll still have the advantage there, but Yair is still dangerous. He would need to finish him on the ground because each round Yair will have an opportunity on his feet to make something happen. Volk can't be too predictable with his takedowns and just go for them right away in every round. Yair could time that eventually so he'll still have to stand and strike with him a bit to set up his takedowns.

Wrong. He's calling out KZ because the only boring fight KZ has been in the UFC was when he was bored to death by Cejudo. Volk wants exciting fights

All those fighters have exciting fights. That's not the reason lol. The reason is Ortega easily beat KZ. Volk did the same with Ortega. That's why he wants that fight out of all the options.

Lol volk is using MMA math. Still think Emmet is the most dangerous matchup for Volk other than Max

I'm not saying he's not making a smart decision. KZ is probably his easiest fight of those that are offered right now. But I highly doubt he's scared of anyone else.
 
Emmet over KZ but Yair over both.

Giga above all if he finishes Kattar..

You don't know much about Volk if you think he can do any math let alone MMA math

why? emmett is so one dimensional he has a haymaker overhand most elites will see coming a mile away


i feel sorta bad for guys in Emmets league

guys like him probably deserve a shot mathematically but off paper hes clearly not anywhere near the same league

it happens
 
Agreed, OP. By the way, Chan Sung Jung already got a featherweight title shot against Aldo.

Emmett authored one of the best performances in UFC history in his second to last fight.



His performance by Ige was ehhhh. I actually thought Ige won it, but he squeezed by with a close decision I think. I bet on Emmett that fight and I was super nervous he lost.

Maybe the best way to beat Volk, is the way JDS beat Cain, get a fast one punch overright hand in.

Kattar didn't just lose to Max though, he turned into a meme after that fight.

I think UFC is also pushing for the KZ fight because he's the biggest name outside of Max.
 
Yea except Emmett is so fucking injury prone it's about 10 - 1 he'd pull out if they gave him the fight.

Miss me with that bullshit.
 
I forgot about Emmett. I think if Giga wins I could see them throwing him in there assuming he finishes the fight and is healthy. Zombie, although I like him, doesn't deserve a title shot what so ever. I guess he did run through Ige pretty easy where Emmett had some trouble but still.
