Volk dancing away from the action

[Sean Chowdhury]

he was cracking lopes and standing his ground for most of the fight when they were exchanging. Why are you acting like he did a youssef zalal against kattar? He fought admirably coming off 2 ko losses

 

[forsh]

You can keep it.

You make a STINKER with an everywhere action fighter like Diego? I've had enough. I'm OK with point fighting to get paid, but this is just brutal.

Volk had like double the amount of significant strikes as Diego. Dancing while punching him in the face maybe.

 

[surgeyou1]

He's not a brawler. Would be dumb to keep trading with a guy like Lopes. He did what he had to do. Landed hard shots.

Diego's approach was too simple. No footwork, feints, or head movement. Didn't go for takedowns or feint a takedown. No setups, very few leg kicks. Not much jabbing to speak of.

 

[Istryker]

It was a masterclass stop it, he beat on bro and had him cope emoting in a championship fight.

 

[Fact Checker]

If Diego was such an action fighter he wouldn't just throw 10 feints and then do nothing non stop lol.

How do you throw combos at a fighter literally running away lol?


Topuria had to sprint at Volk to chin check him and stop that stale pitter patter routine of his.

Haha dancing away. He closed Diegos eye in that final round.
He was catching Diego coming in and realised he wasn't going to put him out going forward.

He landed nearly double what Diego did each round, wobbled him multiple times and put on a great fight. Both did.

 

[Gilday]

As someone who picked and was rooting for Lopes, can't hate on it. I'd always put blame on the person who failed to deal with someone's style rather than the winning style

Volk won 2 very clear rounds, then 3 close ones with at least 1 leaning way more to Volk.

Good win by Volk, Lopes showed he belongs at this level.

Give me Volk vs Evolev and a Lopez vs Yair grudge match

 

[helltoupee]

Rogan and anik were all over Volk's nuts and made Volk seem like he was doing better than he really was.

There were more than a few times they both hit at the same time and Lopes' was much more brutal of a hit but all we heard was "ooooo great left by Volkanovski".

Fighting is about DAMAGE. You guys want point fighting go watch a Taekwondo tournament. Volk suffered signifcantly more damage and if there wasnt a cage there he woulda ran outta the building. Thats not fighting

When did Carlos Condit become Volk's coach?

 

[flektarn]

He won the belt. He's getting paid. He fought smarter and better.

eh hem, *paper belt*.

 

[2009lurker]

Lol, must’ve missed all those hooks he was landing when retreating. Not all point fighting is bad or the same.

I’d rather watch a Volk fight than lay and pray or wall and stall.

HUFF caveman boxing with no footwork no bodywork and not much variance or entry points
Easier said than done bc volk a legend but grasso camp gameplan left a lot to be desired.

Lopez had more to show than that

 

[tat2man5k]

Big fan of Lopes here but Volk is just that great of a fighter.

 

[Ares Black]

What a shitty hot take. Legendary performance from a legendary fighter.

 

[MrCoffee]

eh hem, *paper belt*.

Do you like paper money?

 

[humdizzle]

lopes was banking on a hail mary. he just relies on his chin and swings for the fences in the pocket.

volk won the boxing match.

imagine what ilia would do to lopes...

 

[Blonde Oliveira]

Cry harder little boy

 

[brainstormsounds]

You can keep it.

You just had a bad experience with a Dana product for the umpteenth time, maybe youre the issue?

 

[egk]

Lopes spent more time mugging for Volk to come to him and every time he did Volk hit him in the face. Then Diego wouldnt throw.

 

[spooNN]

He's not dumb.
