Can we stop with the narrative that Volkanovski is a small LW. He confirms here that he was 180 when he got the call mind you Volk trains all year round.


I understand he got elbow surgery but still. Here is Volk saying that he weighs more than Hooker on fight night


Poirier confirms he walks around 176, less then Volk.



Islam saying to DC he walks around 183-184. This was 5 days ago.


Volk is not a small LW, my man is bigger than Poirier. Big John Mccarthy said that he got inofrmation that Volk weighted as much as Islam on fight night or couple pounds less.

In his interview with Ariel, volk said that a lot of his excess weight is just water. I think a lot of those other guys you mention hold their weight In muscle. Volk ain't a big guy, that should be obvious.
Have you seen Volk? His legs are wide as a tree and his forearms are insanly big, his back is wide as a table. Volk is short but very thick.
 
Made FW every time without problems. Khabib/Islam struggle to make LW.
Islam makes weight every time as well.

And Volk clearly struggles to make the featherweight limit. He appeared and sounded terrible at the weigh-in show immediately after cutting weight for the Holloway trilogy.

He said in this video he was 82kg when he was called for the fight, that is about 180 pounds
 
Poirier used to walk around at 190 for FW, believes who wants that he now only cuts 20lbs for LW.

If you've listened to volk talk in various interviews, he flat out said that he was heavier than he has been in a long time. For reference, when he was TRYING TO BULK last time for islam, he was walking around at 177lbs. The fact that he's heavier than that while not trying to bulk and while coming off of surgery is a bad sign and not indicative of his norm.

Also, the difference here is that Islam is shredded 184lbs. For volk to be as ripped as Islam, he needs to get below 170lbs.

Volk is in great shape at 166lbs. Islam is in great shape at 180+lbs. They're a weight class apart. I don't even understand how people are tying to argue that this 5'5 guy is a good sized lightweight just because he got a bit heavier than usual after surgery and rehab.
Because it fits their dishonest narrative better.
TS is this in your opinion pravda or istina what you are trying to spread?

Thank for your answer, i was waiting for you to answer. Volk expert.


What do you make of him saying that he weighs more then Hooker. How much do you think both Volk and Islam weighed in fight night? Islam said that Volk only weighted couple pounds more and Big John saying that from his sources that Volk was almost same size. Dont know how trust worthy his sources are.
