Rumored Makhachaev vs Volkanovski is almost a done.

Islam will remain victorious… #Inshallah
 
Volk picked the wrong time to jump to LW. Kind of feel bad because he probably could've stopped Olivera.

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.
 
Surprised to see so many people count out the #1 p4p Volk. There’s no quit in him, this will be competitive.
 
I'm excited to see this, P4P #1 moving up to challenge the new unbeatable smeshman.

People keep talking about Volk's size but it's just his height. The man can carry 200 lbs if necessary. It's not like we haven't seen a bunch of FWs move up for better success; Poirier, Hooker, Oliveira to name a few.
This deserves mention again. Two of the top three LWs today are ex-FWs and Volk is obviously (by a large margin) the best FW on planet Earth.
 
Anyone else don't care about this fight?

It's typical Islam can crushing and now weight bullying. LW is stacked. Wtf.

Olivera is a legit W but how he got a title shot after can crushing?

Volk hasn't cleared out fw. This is nonsense.

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.

The blame for this fight being made is on the UFC and Volks insistence of fighting for the LW belt.

Volk*** can't even clear out his division let alone crack an egg.

Stupid autocorrect ***

LW is stacked. It's nonsense. Ferguson got screwed.

Yep, The narrative that Volk is making a 20 pounds jump a la Israel Adesanya needs to be stopped. Its a lazy excuse that everyone can see.
 
Dariush better be the back-up for this fight.

Otherwise, you know Dana will give the winner of Poirier/Chandler the next title shot.
 
I'm pumped for this. I hope it happens, but I honestly feel like It won't happen.
