P4P is nonsense but

Should volk lose his spot

 

[jeff7b9]

Jon Jones will probably go to #1 by way of having a fight coming up.

Can't disagree

 

[TheAmericanGazelle]

Absolutely not.

If you don't subscribe to the idea that a smaller fighter can a) lose a very close fight to a much bigger guy, and b) maintain his P4P spot, then you essentially delegitimize the concept of P4P in the first place.

This wasn't a situation where the bigger guy blew the doors off the smaller guy, so you could theoretically still argue that he was bigger AND better (see GSP vs. Penn 2).

The difference between their sizes tonight was larger than the difference in their effectiveness and performance.

 

[Fight Professor]

Why? He is a smaller guy and the fight was competitive.

 

[Izzysexboyfriend]

Volk should’ve won so no

 

[Arm Barbarian]

No. He literally was teeing off on Mak in the final round and it was a great back and forth fight.

Should volk lose his spot

To a guy that beat some lightweights, and then a guy that weighs less?

No.

 

[TJH Exitium]

Bisping telling Islam he's now taken the P4P spot is fucking nonsense

It's not a title that gets passed around like some cheesy 'BMF' belt

Volk was the smaller champ coming up a weight class and was competitive with the bigger champ. That fight could have gone either way or been a draw.



The tiktok era of UFC is a farce

 

[koquerelle]

He lost so it has to have an impact on rankings.

agree

and you are one of the very few non braindead posters on sherdog, how have you survived?

 

[Brutus.......]

So who should be the P4P king?

The guy who just barely hung on against a much smaller opponent?

 

[TempleoftheDog]

What do you mean, but?

Your title just said it’s nonsense.

Why ask a serious question? And why give a serious answer?

 

[TITS]

P4P should be eliminated altogether. It's an absolutely useless ranking.

 

[podsox]

He lost so it has to have an impact on rankings.

Why

 

[mmainvestigations]

Should volk lose his spot

Yea. He fought a guy at the same weight and lost. Naturally he's at a lower weight class but he wasn't outmatched due to size or strength, it was technique that he lost to in the end. So he should lose it

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Should volk lose his spot

Prolly not.. he's dominated some of the best fighters in the world and is one of the most accomplished champs in one of the better divisions.

Failing on his attempt to go up doesn't really undo that
