Volk got a taste of his own medicine…

[Fact Checker]

Point fighter got beat at point fighting.


Can’t believe Makhachev outstruck him, and coasted the last round.

TS You’re a Max fanboy and it’s obvious. Only Max fanboys call Volk a point fighter.

The 145 champ held his own against the 155 champ that is a Dagestani wrestler. Stop it.

Edgy trolling as always lad. Cutting edge.

Volkanovski was going for dramatics to try to influence the judges. He was losing the stand up AND the grappling, until the 5th and he thought his clowning antics might get a few points. Pretty sad.

I was actually rooting for Volk. Gave him all the respect and said Yair doesn’t stand a chance against him.


You’re just resorting attacks because you’re Australian.

According to stats Volkanovski outstruck Islam, did more damage too.

Volk dropped Islam and smashed him from guard in the 5th…not sure what you’re watching.

Nah, a fighter that fights at his natural weight class moved up to compete against a fighter that cuts bigtime to fight in his.

No I'm just mocking you for a shit thread claiming Islam was coasting in the 5th. I had it 48-47 Islam albeit the 2nd was quite close. 49-46 was laughably wrong.

By a guy that is truly above his weight class

 

[spinitch]

Volk did better than most others. Reflect on that. His first foray 1 class up. The TD threat did allow Islam to get some decent shots in. Nothing dangerous but scoring.

You know the point of wrestling isn't to let the other guy control you most of the time, right

"Stats!"

Man Islam landing those strikes on Volk shook me. I didnt think he had that type of striking and im a massive Islam fan

 

[Luckyme]

They both underestimated each other and got humbled. Makhachev outstruck him and Volk shut down his wrestling better than anyone else has.

Where did I say Makhachev won the 5th??? Not sure of your reading skills.

 

[Get_that_yayo]

Very few guys can fight going backwards. Islam and Khabib are two of them. I think it's obvious that Volk isn't used to that.

Also, these guys need to learn to use discretion with that "technique" where they turn their back to an opponent when they're trying to get up. You shouldn't do that against a great grappler. That lost him a round and potentially the fight. I don't know why people are training fighters that you can do this to every fighter from tomato can to world champion.
