Media Volkanovski walk around weight is more than Poirier and same as Islam

[B ville Famous]

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.

Lol so in your mind, Islam can fight at 145lbs bc he’s the same size a Volk?

Maybe, Barboza made 145… I dont know just taking his word, saying he weighs 80 kg.

Islam have never missed weight.

Yes but you can tell the weight cut is hard for him. Much harder than it is for Volk.

 

[Iroh]

Obviously Islam is just a small LW, he is actually the same size as MM.

The denial about Khabib and Islam's size seems infinite.

No offense to TS. You are a good dude.

Erxcept in Abu Dhabi.

Islam the hero facing giant Volk. What a guy.

 

[Objectively Correct]

Just to add: Volkanovski has reach advantage over Islam. I hate the narrative that Volk is some scrawny little midget featherweight daring to go up to lightweight to fight giants when he's as heavy as them with just as big of a reach. It's easy to be brave when you have the reach of an ape. Volk aint no DC.

Why do they all get so defensive when someone brings it up, I made a thread about DC saying he was 200lb and they all flipped.

They only made this fight for the LW belt and not for the FW champ champ belt, because it’s impossible for the giant to make FW on short notice, his opponent would have made it easy in Abu Dhabi.

Most of the Manlet talk came from his detractors prior to him moving up. Once he was competitive with Islam then this weight-bully type narrative emerged

IVlam fanboys working overtime.

Who cares? Islam will beat him even easier this time.

[Harlekin]

A 5'10 guy can always cut more than a 5'6 guy imo

I mean,Khabib himself said that he was walking around 185-190. I dont think he got any bigger than that. He isnt cutting 50 lbs,come on lol

 

[daniel san]

I think OP is probably blind because it's quite clear that they are one weight class apart.

 

[Adamant]

Can we stop with the narrative that Volkanovski is a small LW.

He may be the same weight as Islam but he's 3 feet shorter.

 

[Objectively Correct]

He may be the same weight as Islam but he's 3 feet shorter.

That's an advantage

Volk's BALLS OF STEEL add an extra 20 pounds tho
