Rumored Makhachaev vs Volkanovski is almost a done.

[BlueRunner]

UFC stands for ultimate joke championship.

 

[theleerygoose]

Everyone trashing it, but I’m just happy Islam is having a quick turn around and actually being an active champ.

 

[tat2man5k]

Poor Dariush

 

[LetThemBleed]

IDK man, the Charles that just stopped Mike/Dustin/Justin might be a bit much for Volk imo

Islam is just a bad matchup for Charles across the board. Volk could never do what Islam did to Charles.

What you mean choke him out? Volk would certainly land on him like Islam did to set up the finish, everyone Charles fought recently has hurt him with strikes and Volk would be faster than anyone he faced. Charles was a far better match up for Volk than Islam.

 

[LetThemBleed]

That's not an argument. He has 0 fights at lw. ISLAM HAS 0 DEFENCES and a padded recorded. It leaves room for belator and one among other organizations to be more relevant.

Come on lad that's just lazy he has fought at LW before and has fought as heavy as WW. He has zero fight at LW in the UFC. Also why does the best FW on planet earth moving up somehow make Bellator or One more relevant? I mean the Bellator LW division is a joke.

 

[Asako]

Smh. Dariush should have gotten the title shot.

He should sit out and get the winner.

His first fight in the UFC was light weight and he won by ko, wasn't a pretty shit ko tho

I don't know about the size difference. If Volkanovski gets taken down a lot, he may lose by points.

I could see Volk staying defensively sharp on the feet and avoiding Olivera's power and just keeping up high volume to win a decision. Don't see him following Islam's gameplan. Against Islam I see him taken down and controlled.

This. If it was booked for july 2023 i'd be dissapointed but february is fair for dariush and the rest of the division

Volk is a phenomenal wrestler and a better striker. Islam has the physical advantages though and might win purely by holding him against the cage and jab.
Volk would beat the living shit out of Charles Oliviera so this isn't a step down in any way.

I have a feeling that the winner of chandler vs poirier will get a titleshot before Dariush

 

[kenetics]

Anyone else don't care about this fight?

Me. Volk going to get blanketed and subbed.

No and has no power in his strikes. Stop.

Pipe down and think things through.


The level of competition at 145 is a joke, guys like KZ and Ortega wouldn’t even be Top 50 LW’s. Charles Oliveira went through a some killers at LW, put some respect on his name and stop minimizing his accomplishments.

 

[Oeshon]

Smh. Dariush should have gotten the title shot.

maybe instead of talking about god to muslims, he should have cut a sweet promo for the title shot?

Volk hits harder than Justin or Dustin or that hook Islam fed him?

Again, IDK man.

I disagree I think 145 has better competition overall.
Oliviera is pretty great but I actually think he doesnt have the style to beat Volk.

Precision beats power mate.

Precision beats power mate.

Umm hes going to get grappled by a much bigger man. No precision needed .
