The narrative that Volkanovski did more damage?

[Hank Grill]

Don't say that to Jon Jones, DAMN SON!

Jones has the unique ability to siphon most of his opponents JBG energy and remains victorious. All of them save dc went down hill. Only thing that makes sense.

 

[HuskySamoan]

Im pretty sure the long suspension is because of this cut

30 days isn't long, the cut was rather superficial other than maybe causing scar tissue that will cut easier in the future.

GTFO.

Nobody did any damage in that fight, those are minimum suspensions, as short as you can get.

 

[Wonderfight]

Volkanovski didn’t want to get up in the fourth round. He didn’t want to take damage on the feet. Islam was piecing him up. He decided to accept his position.
Every counter was bullseye.

True, but Volk was never in danger and Islam was, a big one. You could see his defense collapsing rapidly in last 30 seconds, some clean hard shots landed straight without any defense. He was more tired and beat up in the end, just the reality of the situation. Other than that, pretty close fight. Both got hurt multiple times in feet and grappling was of no consequence because Islam couldn’t do anything with it, even when he landed the takedowns.

Volk looked like he could go another 5 rounds with ease.

 

[Supereem]

Islam looked like a corpse.

 

[Foppa21]

The flipped a coin. It could have easily gone the other way.

God that would be so hot

Narrative is the buzzword of a complete and utter tool today. Good job outing yourself, TS.

 

[Royce's Gi]

Volk looked like he was just starting and could go 5 more rounds.

No, Islam just proved us the saying, that you drop in belt levels, when you get punched to your face, is right.
He admitted in his post fight interview, that he did not know that he could have moved to mount and Khabib was pissed because of that. I mean that’s a beginner level mistake, but he was in trouble and could not think clearly.

“the narrative that…” = “im assmad because…”

Fighters always get advises from their coaches. this means that all fighters are in trouble because they don’t do what the coaches want or see.

Have you heard the coaches of Volkanovski?
They told things that he didn’t do well. this means he was in trouble.
Volkanovski had his chin up high in the air because he was in trouble.

That elbow caused the small cut in between Volks eyebrows. The big cut was from a knee.

Nope Big cut is from Islams gross fingernails.

 

[jooohnmatrix]

Shertards are simply too brainwashed by Rogan. Anyone who understands mma knew who the winner was, Islam and it wasn’t even close.

The only damage was the punch that made Islam go to the ground. Islam rolled into guard and defended very effectively after that. Volk was very ineffective trying to gnp so was really just stalling out the rest of the round exactly as Islam wanted. There was no chance Volk was going to finish Islam in that position. It won Volk the round but lost him the fight. It would have been smarter for Volk to make Islam get right back up to his feet while he was tired and hurt.

It was a great competitive fight, but the one word I would use to describe it is safe, something that Khabib never was. Before haters jump in saying Khabib wouldn't have taken that fight. Khabib fought double champ Conor in his first title defense and the fear he put into Conor before the fight and beating he gave him during was probably a major contributing factor to Conor's blatant alcohol and drug problems. But if Conor does eventually return and can make lightweight it would be a very interesting challenge for Islam because I don't know if he can handle the unbelievable mental pressure and media attention fighting Conor would put on him.

That's a full thickness skin tear my friend. The whole dermis and fascia are teared. Not "superficial" at all.
