Max and Volk are head and shoulders above the rest of the division

[LetThemBleed]

Yup.

 

[FIGHTING TALK]

Ortega sits just inside that same bracket, although it seems he could do with swerving Max somehow if he was to win the title.

 

[Johnnny]

Volk isn't head and shoulders above anyone. Even his wife dwarfs him.

 

[MCS]

I think Zabit is the most skilled in the div, but 5 rounds the cardio would need to improve. His coaches said he had some medical condition that is now taken care of. So maybe he'll get the engine for those skills.

 

[TheScorpionDude]

There is zero evidence that Volk is far ahead of everyone else in the division. There are plenty of fights left for him to test his skills I favor Ortega in their fight and I think Zabit would beat him too.

beat the champ twice, is the current champ = zero evidence

You need to see a psychiatrist.

 

[Iron Nick]

How anyone can come in here and deny this is beyond me.

It's very clear that they both are the best 145ers currently.

 

[RedCansLoom16]

I don't rule out a much improved Zabit after this long lay off

 

[BangBang]

A reasonable MMA fan shouldn't be too confused no matter which way this goes. I pick Brian to dethrone Volk but it's not like I'll be shocked if Volk finishes him...

I'd be shocked AND confused if Ortega beats max if and when they rematch though.

RIP brah

 

[ayaandirtyboy]
