Never forget that Islam DOMINATED Volk

[P4p Islam]

The version of volk that we saw lastnight was almost as good as the version that fought islam. Volk fought well against a tall rangy striker, and showed how dominant of a champ he truly is. He is vey well deserving of the p4p 2 spot.


If anything, this is an even bigger feather in Islams hat, due to the fact that he dominated volk in all aspects of the fight for 4/5 rounds. In hindsight this is an even more impressive feat than people realized.


Cant wait to see what victim Islam gets to destroy next.

I remember it very well but I also remember how Volk DOMINATED Islam.

1 out of 5 rounds is no domination

 

[JayPettryMMA]

Dominated? I had it 48-47 for Islam, and a Volk scorecard isn't obscene given how close a few rounds were. Get outta here with that nonsense of "domination."

Pure domination

 

[Jin Akutsu]

I mean if you want to call that fight a domination, all the power to ya. To observers with no skin in the game, Islam won a close decision that was competitive in many moments.

Dominated? The scores were 48-47, Volk won 2 rounds on the scorecards. That's not domination but a close fight. Volk was the one that had the most convincing round by far and did the most damage.

It’s ok everybody, just some silly fanboy wars. Nothing to see here.

member when p4p meant p4p and not just best in their weight class

Islam also dropped Volk and hurt him multiple times. Volk ain't that guy

Dude was just getting his lines in the water and caught a Lunker.

Some rage bait here, nice

 

[Fact Checker]

You’re not wrong. People here have a soft spot for underdogs and Alex overachieved, but the result was clear: he got outsmarted, outgameplanned, and outstruck by Makhachev.


Dude got a taste of his own medicine on home soil and Mak doesn’t get enough credit. By the time Volk woke up Mak was already on cruise control and Volk was getting schlonged on the scorecards.

People here won’t give credit where it’s due.

He hooked the wrong fish. So help me, young man, I will pull this car over and take that plat away from you.

Volk was clearly down 3 rounds heading into the 5th, possibly even getting shut out. There’s no denying that and the scorecards reflect that.

Let’s not be disingenuous here.

 

[Fergelmince]

Looks like Islam would’ve been finished if there was a 6th round

Spoiler: Round 5

 

[linvillegorge]

That was a fairly closely contested fight where one guy had a very obvious size advantage. Islam clearly won three rounds to two IMO, but 48-47 isn't "dominating" by any stretch of the imagination. I honestly expected Islam to dominate Volk based on the size differential but it was a much closer fight than I anticipated and the only guy who ever seemed hurt in that fight was Islam.

Why does Volk wear shirts that are way too big?

Because it's embarrassing to have to keep asking the wardrobe guy for an XXS.
