he was never invisible. just so short nobody could see him.Being invisible was an unfair advantage

I think Islam striking is getting better over time tbh...Credit to him for stepping up.
But Volkanovski = 35-year-old Garden Gnome
His aura of invisibility is gone.
His self-belief is now gone.
Age caught up with him.
My prediction:
1. 35-year-old Volkanovski will get decimated by 26-year-old Ilia Topuria.
2. 26-year-old Ilia Topuria will get outboxed by 31-year-old Max Holloway.
3. 32-year-old Max Holloway will avenge a 36-year-old Volkanovski next year.
Max will reemerge as FW GOAT
Thoughts?
Tell him that butterflies suck too

Volk, post fight, said, you can't back up to Islam, well, sort of a pass the torch comment.
I think the short notice was not a good decision on Volk Part.
I don't know if its age, I go with Islam is growing more skill wise as Volk has peaked ...Islam was always a better striker than Khabib imo.
I think Islam has more time to improve too...I see him taking a risk and going up a weight division in the future.
Volk, he can have a few more years in his division...Volk is still too skilled for most of them imo.

I did not think his timing was going away during the fight but maybe I missed seeing that?Skill and reflexes are not the same thing.
Volk for sure is skilled.
Volk for sure is a bad ass.
But Volk's timing is going to get worse (over time).
Being a short guy, losing your timing, with no real KO power does not = longevity going forward.
IMO
Insult his butterfliesum what

I questioned the way he backed up after the near head kicks early on?
He looked unprepared vs the first fight imo, I figured it was his short notice fight.
Maybe I am giving excuses? to him slowing down?
I will watch his next fights closer to see if age is catching up.
