The Old Lion Still Roars

[Ivancho]

What Volkanovski just accomplished is truly impressive. At 36, almost 37, in probably the most stacked division full of killers..where age makes a big difference compared to other weight classes..it’s something that really deserves respect

Diego has his flaws but he was in a title fight for a reason


Volk is one of the greats for sure

 

[Dr. Rose]

Not the most stacked division. LW and BW top ten is more competitive than FW, imo.

Jean Silva would have beat him tonight. Volk has slowed down and Diego was fighting like he didn't think he would win. Hope Movsar gets his shot next.

Volk should fight movsar then call it a career. No need to face anymore big hitters. Coming back at his age to pick up two big wins against young surging prospects like Lopes and evloev would be enough in my opinion.

Bros literally getting pity title shots because he ate knockout blows for the UFC like a good company man lol.

Going in there for a paper belt against a guy who wasn’t even number one contender and all he can muster up is a passive point fighting performance while getting concussed all over the cage is sad at this point.


Feed him to Jean Silva next and call it a career, we’ve seen enough of the same pitter patter routine. It was cool when he wasn’t taking damage but now he looks like he’s on skates all fight.

You want UNranked Jean Silva to get a title shot after beating #13 Mitchell???

Volk got one after getting brutally KO’d and losing 3 title fights in the past couple years…


Youre acting like the UFC doesn’t just do whatever they want.

Bro, c'mon. Is jean silva ranked? Does he have 4 title defenses? Did he do the UFC a solid and step in on a few days notice to save a title/headliner PPV in Abu Dhabi? Does he have 100K followers on social media? This dude ain't even a blip on the radar.

especially if he does it before Ilia fights again. it kind of makes Ilia look sus for not staying there and doing it himself.
