Was Volkanovski Ever Any Good????

[Nigelbro]

Short notice? Lets not make fun of the guy's height. He took that because he knew it was his best chance otherwise Islam having a full camp to prepare for volk wouldve been way worse for Volk.

Fighting an actual lightweight is Kryptonite for Islam.

 

[J'Ghasta]

Hes a great fighter but also overrated.

 

[Nigelbro]

I need to get a hold of your drug dealer bro... That be some good stuff you be smoking for real lol

Only users lose drugs.

Yeah against old small washed up pride legends that were middleweights and used steroids to do it. Anytime he faced a guy his size he struggled even though they weren’t that good, Gus, Reyes, OSP, Bonnar. Even tiny middleweight Santos with an injured shoulder should’ve beaten him.

He ducked 2 guys he knew would have knocked him out, Rumble and Francis. It’s no coincidence he ducked those 2 guys that happened to have scary power and be his biggest threats then avoided the Gus rematch like the plague and fought him when he was washed.

Now he fought a guy with zero wrestling in gane and wants to fight 50 yr old Stipe while avoiding actual challenges

You’re 100% correct but the fake hardcores will act like shogun on his 3rd knee surgery and sub 205 Belfort and machida fighting 225 jones are good wins

Come on bro, 2012 account and your like this?

 

[RayA]

Top 3 Featherweight GOAT contenders.

Aldo, Volkanovski, Holloway.

Which fighter has 4 wins against the other two?

Add in Mendes, Yair, Ortega, and KZ for good measure.

 

[TITS]

first time he fought someone thats actually elite like Islam he folded.

The first time he fought Islam he arguably won and got robbed. Dumbass.

 

[Marko Polo]

Volk lost because he's past his prime and Ilia is almost a decade younger.

Would 27 year old Volk beat 27 year old Topuria?

Yup I think jones is overrated as shit

 

[Dana's Conscience]

Everyone loses eventually unless you retire like Khabib or cherry pick fights and use steroids like jones

Jon "5 former and 2 future champions" Jones

There are many Jon copes out there. Cherry picking fights isn't one of them.

He definitely cherry picked and fought old small middleweights while being on steroids.

This thread is now about Jon Jones cuz of haters and rent free.

Okay, he cherry picked the former champions who just so happened to be the guys at the top of the division at the time. I'm sure guys like Machida, Vitor, and Chael were squeaky clean when they fought Jon.

Former champions that he had a huge size advantage against and was like 10 years younger and juiced. He beat washed up middleweights and looked average against guys his size, all 4 of them.

 

[Flower2dPeople]

...is what no one is thinking.


That being said, RIP Volk era.
Greatest Feather of All-Time (some may disagree) lost to most skilled FW ever.
Skill level keeps increasing over time, as Joe Rogan said tonight.
And GSP has agreed with this statement many times.

Topuria reign begins....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Volk's 61.5% finish rate (16 finishes out of 26 wins)
vs
Ilia's 86.6% finish rate (13 finishes out of 15 wins)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Featherweight division will become more exciting.

Ban for click bait, imo.

Jon was like 23 and blowing through former champion LHWs who were in their physical primes

Shogun and Rampage the MWs lol

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

He was on steroids and they were all washed pride fighters and much smaller than jones. He didn’t run through anyone his size, he struggled or arguably lost

 

[Dana's Conscience]

They probably were too. Chael is on the record saying he was when he fought Jon.

The NSAC and USADA would also have you know that Jon has never been convicted of intentional usage. Mistake makers aren't cheaters.

 

[bjjwar]

Jones cherry picks. LOL I guess you must not have watched when he cleaned out the LHW division, at a time when that division was arguably the best in MMA. That's OK, lots of people don't study history!

Cleaned the LHW division? Dude fought Chael, Shad,Machida, Vitor, all MW’s looool. His only good wins were against DC where he was caught juicing… The rest were either guys over the hill like Shogun with his shot knees or Rampage who wasn’t even training. Got destroyed by Gustaffson, lost to Marreta and lost to a bum like Reyes. Jones career is so overrated it’s not even funny…
