Lol Land Down Under again.

GOAT WALKOUT IMO

 

[pv3Hpv3p]

They'll be on Showtime's YouTube channel.

...or Twitter, if you use that cesspool.

Lol, I'll try Showtime YouTube.

Thanks, brother

@Clementine

I just want to say, your av, it's great! It did mess with my head. It looks like you are wearing heels and working out. A few minutes later, I see the ball. Oh, and those are shoes.


Nice shoes!

 

[vivi]

That cut on Volk does not look good. Almost got like a yellow tinge to it wtf

 

[Tayski]

Go Volk!!!

 

[Dorkman]

It's nice seeing Men at Work oddly relevant in 2023.

 

[Paladin]

This card is absolutely awesome.

You can only imagine midgets?

I thought he was shorter than Brandon. Dang he has Brandon’s number big time

 

[Carsormyr]

LET'S GO VOLK

[PurpleStorm]

Whatever happens, respect to Volk for taking on everyone.

 

[Jason7227]

Oh shit Volk wants to tell you where he's from. I wonder if Izzy is somewhere feeling inwardly conflicted.

 

[AGEZ909]

gonna be hard to live up to the last fight. Hoping it somehow out-does it though.

Leaning Volk but if Yair lands something out of nowhere and wins, wouldn't shock me.

Rooting for Yair but it would indeed shock me


If Yair wins, I’m thinking it’s an early ko. Volk is the superior, stronger, more complete fighter.

 

[Koro_11]

Its only Topuria left after this, which the only thing he has over volk is boxing.

And youth, he also has that.

 

[Jackonfire]

Lots of makeup on Volk's cheek

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

Land down under

 

[voodoo chile1]

THat is stupid and not how fights are scored. And yes Pantoja very clearly won that fight.

watch the fight again tomorrow meathead, you'll see, you just caught up in the moment

 

[BFG]

absolutely he did, 50-45 volkanovski, islam did absolutely nothing while volk was taking the fight to him.

I don't necessarily disagree. I dislike wrestling or BJJ heavy guys a lot of the time because sometimes it seems they win a fight for just holding a dominant position, but not actually doing anything.

 

[fortheo]

The cut is a little worse than I thought. Thankfully it is under the eye

 

[HydralisK]

Volk's punches come from a land down under Australia. Once Yair feels the power at this weight class, his spinning shit will come much less often. I'd be willing to bet thats the gameplan.

Volk has to put the pressure on early make Yair uncomfortable. Seal the deal, climb the Goat ladder.

 

[Liverkick-king56]

Man after all of this craziness we still have this fight. This card has delivered, so nice after what was mostly a down period the past couple months.

We were really calling normal cards great because they had good results.
Seeing this card has me feeling like a kid in awe again, high level MMA with tons of action.

 

[Linelo]

Yair Rodriguez has a solid chance here in his improvements in boxing, his diverse kicks, killer instinct, and dynamic ground game.

That said, Volk is one of the most skilled mma fighters in the world and might clinch clear FW GOAT eventually.

He can fight at an elite level anywhere the fight goes, has great game plans, is crazy durable, and has looked better each fight.

While he is capable to win this fight standing on the ground he can really test Yair’s bottom game that can be exploited if he can anticipate the sub and sweep attempts.

The card has been so damn good. Let’s cap this off with another good scrap.
