Very obvious that he will try extremely hard to get "money fights". His dream more then to be a great champion is to be a star.
LW to FW is only 10 lbs. It's not a matter of "too small", you just keep up your normal diet during camp while the other person runs at a deficit for the last month of camp, and you end up about the same size for the fight without having to get fat for it. The problem here is the skill discrepancy and that Topuria has neither the dominance nor the PPV drawing ability for Islam to care about that fight. Volk was ahead of Islam on the p4p rankings, so he wanted to beat the guy ahead of him. There is no sales pitch for the fight other than charity from Islam.He has too be way to small to challenge Islam right? Sure Volk is small as well but he is built like a stub.

This is an intriguing matchup as-is from a skillset point of view. It will be even more intriguing if they defend 2 or 3 more times.He has too be way to small to challenge Islam right? Sure Volk is small as well but he is built like a stub.
