What a difference in performance from Volk

[Unheralded Truth]

Last time he shocked everybody my making it so close.

Today he looked out of place, as if it was only a matter of time before something big would land.

 

[B-Man]

It was a totally different fight right from the go, Volk looked out of his depth in there tonight

 

[BetoG695]

he should never have taken a short notice fight like that lol

 

[Horse Style]

A third fight is inevitable because "but 10 days notice, bro" will always be attached to this one.

 

[skold]

To be fair, it's hard to say whether he looked out of place or not from half a round worth of action

He's not getting another title shot at lw while Islam is champ

 

[BigDramaShow26]

Short notice fights at this level suck. These dudes took a paycheck. They were not ready. Volk was flabby.

 

[Muay Thai #1]

Yeah, he looked like he barely even prepared for the fight...

 

[kingmob6]

hydrated islam is way better

 

[surgeyou1]

Eh it was pretty much the same before the KO. Islam just landed a great kick.

 

[Yellowcrab]

Ok but what about Usman then ? Here's the difference between good and great fighters.

Nope

If the fight was Longer.

But he got dusted in less than 5 minutes

 

[Neck&Neck]

He was winning till he lost

 

[WildShrimper]

Yeah he was fat, still not a slouch and still an impressive win, but yeah the difference in physique was there.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

He stuffed takedown, did well enough in the clinch, reversed positions.

Just had his t Rex arms a little low in his guard and Islam timed and landed a beautiful head kick in the right spot

 

[DecisionSplit]

Volk looked disinterested in fighting during the walkout.

 

[TheMMAnalyst]

hydrated islam is way better

He looked shook like all of us when he saw what a fully jacked and rehydrated Islam looks like.

Dude comes in looking like an action figure and you basically came in off the couch - can’t be a good feeling no matter how much you hype yourself up.

 

[Georges Hefner]

Ok but what about Usman then ? Here's the difference between good and great fighters.

Is Usman 5 foot 4? Much bigger man

 

[fortheo]

Almost like he had surgery, 6 weeks of rehab, and 11 days notice to fly around the world to face a guy In the weight class above him.

This was a foregone conclusion.
