Volkanovski will lose his next fight vs Topuria...

Volk is old for a FW. Age is going to catch him at some point. Hopefully not for the next 2-3 years.

Typically don’t read long posts like this but this one was good. Thanks for the read. Interesting points and never thought about the UFC game cover curse before

Sure, Volk who has never looked better, undisputed pound for pound no 1 will lose to Topuria, who gets his confidence from his mom.

Volk is old. Guys like Woodley and Usman looked amazing one fight and then absolutely looked like shit overnight. They were a bit older than Volk is now, but they were also two weight classes heavier. Middleweights and up age well, you see a lot of them in their late 30s-early 40 sometimes still in prime form, but it's very odd for lower weight class guys.

IF Volk looses his next fight to Ila it wont be for any of the reasons you bring up it will be because Ila beat Volk.

this !!!! but I am done rooting against Volk LOL

4) Age. I dont believe any fighter older than 35 has won a UFC title at 155lbs or under. The oldest from recollection was figuereido when he had the close fight with moreno in the trilogy at UFC 270 and was 34 when he recaptured the belt. Volks gonna be 35 when he fights Ilia and again statistics, dont seem to be on his side as fighters old than than 35 have never won a world title fighting at over 35 (look at Frankie at UFC 240 and Cejudo and TJ on their returns).

Only serious point
That being said, War Volk

Huge if true

Only way Volk loses is if he lost a step (which we all know DOES happen)

either way, guy is a fuckin machine

The only problem I see in topuria gameplan is his cardio.
