Volkanovski should be a heavy favorite

Muffin top? lots of Embedded clips are from a while ago, probably when he was in the middle of his bulk and near 180lbs. the last month of his camp he trimmed down to a lean 170lbs, which is the weight he wants to fight at, and he looks like this at 170lbs

That's not a muffin top, those are his oblique muscles lol

And you know he wasn't lying about any of that weight how...?

Meanwhile again this is what I was actually referring to where you can see him train shirtless for a minute straight, and having re-watched it the segment says it's February 4:



He's not fat or anything, but he's definitely carrying around a little extra pudge around his midsection here compared to how we usually see him, and definitely not looking like those pictures either.

Like I said, let's see how he looks on weigh in day. Feb 4 is still 6 days out from his weigh in. But I wasn't expecting that.

I don’t know how old the footages are. Islam does not look that cut either here in the new embedded. Not his typical dry and jacked look.B73A7ECB-FE68-4E7B-8612-68F1E5E97EFF.jpeg

Those pictures were from a few days ago bro. Also, I'm not sure why he would lie about his weight lol. When he was in thailand he said he was 177lbs, then he did an advertisement for a scale product days and stood on the scale and it read 177lbs. Unless that was apart of an elborate scheme to lie about his weight, then I think we can believe him. He said that we him bulking, but that he'd trim fat off to be 170lbs lean for fight night. Again, I don't know why he would lie, and he doesn't look fat in the pics I sent which are from a few days ago after leaning out.

You're free to your opininion though, but alex looks about the same as always too me.

*edit* I just watched the clip you were referring to, and again, those are obliques not muffin handles lol.

No actually he was 415lbs in pro rugby.
If he can almost be submitted by Ortega, than Islam has a pretty good chance.

He's the smaller champion, where the biggest Anti-Volk narrative going into the fight is how small he is compared to Islam.

If I were him I'd certainly be lying about the size difference if for no other reason than to help sell the fight.

I have no idea why he'd lie about his weight, set up a scale advertisement to help lie, only to then say he's going to lose that weight so that he can keep his speed at 170lbs. Even at 170lbs, he's giving up 10lbs or so to Islam. Why lie about this? And I just don't see the muffin handles in that clip, which was filmed one day away from the photos I sent where he clearly doesn't have muffin handles. Volk has never been super lean even at 145lbs to be honest. He's got that weird troll/dwarf physique.

You're free to your opinion. I just don't really see it. He looks the same as usual to me. we'll see how he looks at the weigh-ins
 
Lol fuck outta here
