First round Khamzat is a mothafuckaVoted Holloway, its him or Whittaker in a close 2nd, actually...im not sure how is Whittaker the underdog against a fairly unproven MW.
How did that bout with Covid impact Khamzat's career. Heard he's got scarring on the lungs from that.A lot of people still probably expect Chimaev to blitz & finish Whittaker in round 1 like he has most of his opponents. Good thing it's a 5 round fight so if Rob can survive the first round and a half without taking too much damage he should take over imo. Chimaev isn't built for 5 round fights.
volkov. Hes improving and hungry. Gane seems checked out

In their 1st fight Volkov won rd 1 & rd 2 could've gone either way. Definitely feels like a close decision is loomingI still think very highly of Gane's striking, unless Volkov tries to take him down & submit him like he did Tuivasa he should be able to stay one step ahead. 3 round fight is thin margins though, Volkov definitely has a better chance in a shorter fight compared to the first one.

I know but they got it wrong. Volkov landed the harder shots(in rd 1) while outlanding Gane numerically. Hopefully they have more educated judges who aren't hypnotized by Gane's bouncing hot body.2 of the 3 judges gave Gane round 1. Also he ended up winning 49-46 & 2x 50-45.
