isnt this the position that Volk couldnt get out of but was acting really cool as though he was still in charge but in fact did nothing?
He knew the memo. He was just there to look tough but give Islam the shineEveryone seems to be ignoring the fact that Volk was the one who was actually stalling in that position when Islam had him controlled in the body triangle in the 4th
Instead of working his way back to his feet like he should have or reversing position
Volk instead was just whining into the camera like a drunk bogan for the dropbear crowd acting like a diva
A moment like that costed him the win in a very close fight
what the fuck are you on about , Volk was saved by the bell in the first round... 1 minute advantage in the last round doesnt decide the winner.In your idiotic daydreams.
Volk eventually NULLIFIED Makhachev ... then TOOK HIM DOWN ... and BEAT HIM DOWN ... in front of the world.
Gomer Pyle (Makhachev) HAD NOTHING but "a loser's smile at the end" ...
Denial ≠ Rebuttal
Islam was threatening. That’s why Volk was protecting his neck instead of trying to escape.
Islam was in the best position. Which position should he have transitioned to exactly?

throwing desperate baby punches is not offense. It’s simply frustration and submission.
Babies start to cry if they can’t move on the ground.

I really don’t know.
Islam lost more stock although the judges gave it to him though.
Volk lost his first UFC fight, which I also don’t think is really true.
Islam calling out a featherweight instead of a Welterweight right after winning the title due to having a huge size advantage thinking he’d just roll through Volk ended up looking very bad though, Volk is basically now the Interim Lightweight and Featherweight champ because of that fight.
Islam was equaled in every part of the fight he supposedly was better in, and then got out worked on the feet while being unable to mount any real offensive subs or gnp
Volk meanwhile barely has a scratch and ends up in the most dominant position of the whole fight after one of the trickiest trips I’ve ever seen in the UFC.
It was a great fight, and I do recall a straight left Islam had caught Volk with that rocked him, as well as a beautiful takedown entrance that was absolutely perfect in execution, double leg but the way Islam wrapped himself on Volk’s leg was lighting fast.

Again, volk couldn't turn his hips the right way because they were against the fence. He didn't have much options there other than prevent all of Islam's offense, which he did, and send back his own, which he did.
Yeah I'm Volks biggest fan but this is how it wentIslam won but it was quite close. I would even say Volk had the strongest moment in the fight. Islam banked away enough control time to win.
