Volkanovski's resume

Arrrrgh said:
You don't know what you are talking about. Impact is subjective. It is a part of "effective striking" but it is only half the story. The other half is volume of strikes. And impact isn't judged strike for strike, its judged on the round as a whole. Who's striking had the greater impact? When there is no clear edge, the tie breaker is the number of strikes.

So you are wrong on multiple accounts. The number of strikes does matter. The statistics measure both the quantity and the quality of strikes (aka sig strikes) and are far less subjective than "impact." The whole reason impact is part of the criteria is so that KD's and other hard shots get more weight in the scoring than your average sig strike. That said, even if you base it entirely on impact and ignore volume, that favors Volk in the Volk/Max fight.

volume is quite literally nowhere in the unified rules definition of effective striking. Read it, it’ll be a 1st for you

When he was 170 plus he must have been as wide as he is tall. That guy is built like a brick shithouse.

It actually is in there.
You've got to go to the source when they define what effective striking is.

That's where they proposed the changes that were eventually adopted into what we have today. Under the definitions section they specify exactly what I just outlined.
Here's their language:
1. Definitions

“Effective striking” is judged by determining the impact of legal strikes landed
by a contestant and the number of such legal strikes. Heavier strikes that have a
visible impact on the opponent will be given more weight than the number of
strikes landed. These assessments include causing an opponent to appear
stunned from a legal blow, causing the opponent to stagger, appearance of a cut
or bruise from a legal strike and causing the opponent to show pain. Cumulative
impact on a fighter will also be weighed. If neither fighter shows an advantage in
impact of strikes, the number of strikes will determine the most effective striker.

You bum, using an old ass ruleset that’s no longer in use.


Legal blows that have immediate or cumulative impact with the potential to contribute towards the end of the match with the IMMEDIATE weighing in more heavily than the cumulative impact. Successful execution of takedowns, submission attempts, reversals and the achievement of advantageous positions that produce immediate or cumulative impact with the potential to contribute to the end of the match, with the IMMEDIATE weighing more heavily than the cumulative impact.” It shall be noted that a successful takedown is not merely a changing of position, but the establishment of an attack from the use of the takedown. Top and bottom position fighters are assessed more on the impactful/effective result of their actions, more so than their position. This criterion will be the deciding factor in a high majority of decisions when scoring a round. The next two criteria must be treated as a backup and used ONLY when Effective Striking/Grappling is 100% equal for the round.

The next fight I’d like to see him in will probably never happen, but I’d love to see Volk vs AJ McKee.

That would be fight of the century

Unfortunately the white-fans-not-fight fans wouldnt get behind it since it would be AV s hardest fight of his life

That isn't an old ruleset. It was the proposal that lead to the current rules. It is where they define effective striking and grappling. SMH.

They actually changed the rules in 2017. You haven't been around long. They've made minor changes since then but the current ruleset is based off those definitions.
 
McKee would KO this manlet
 
If Volk won't go to sleep from a perfect guilitine and a perfect triangle . Only way you beat him is to out strike him - makes Max the only fighter that can beat him as your not KOing Volk either you need volume an pressure with great cardio.

right now I would only put Usman ahead of Volk in p4p rankings but its close.

just nuts seeing a guy with such short little legs be such a great leg kicker.

Almost got ko'ed by the wrestler
Had a boring ass fight with the kickboxer
Arguably lost to the boxer
Almost got choked out by the jiu jitsu specialist

Having said that, I can see him defending the belt 2-3 more times.

If he continues like this ,
he will be one of the GOATS !
 
A few more good wins for Volk and he's knocking on the door of greatness.
 
P4P the best contender. Well spoken TS, he's beaten the who's who in his division!

He has a W over the kickboxer, and I see 2 almosts en 1 arguably (excuses). I also thought that Max won the rematch but at the end they gave the W to Volk. Deal with it and don't be sour ...
