What happens if Topuria loses to Volk in the rematch?

[Rhood]

When a fighter overlooks his own division, something usually bad happens.
I could imagine Volk coming in more prepared this time and studying tapes non-stop.
I know it's silly to bet on Volk, but this is MMA and anything can happen.

If Volk wins, does Topuria still move up to Lightweight?

Re-watch the fight.

Volk is old ... is flimsy + weak by comparison to Ilia ... AND HE KNEW IT ... so Volk was just "wasting energy moving around" to avoid his comeuppance.

But his comeuppance was inevitable ... and he got it.

Volk's inevitable demise will happen sooner if they meet again.

Apart from Topuria having already no interest in fighting anymore, I have a hard time seeing him losing to Volk.

 

[Egészségére!]

Only way that fight gets made again is if Volk steps up on short notice

In which case Volk loses again because he accepted it on short notice

 

[JKS]

3rd fight perhaps.

 

[FriskyRandy]

Third fight would clearly happen. It's sad to say considering volk is definitely one of the greats and a good company man... but after seeing that first fight, his chances of beating Topuria in this life time are near zero. I don't even feel like a 2nd fight is really necessary. Only reason it is, Topuria has no one deserving to fight, and Volk has a great reputation.

Volk is a deli platter engineer now
Topuria slices him up like a black forrest ham

The only way they fight is if Volk fights Lopes for interim then Topuria after.

Volk has already been KO’d twice recently.

These younger fighters are primed and hungry, Volk stacks up losses from here.

I would say that he retire, but I guess he’s making big money on these fights.

Your right. Volk doesn't have the durability to last 25minutes. All the movement in the world isn't going to stop the inevitable from happening. He'd have to fight a flawless fight to have a chance (and that's not happening)

The only way Volk beats him, is if he drinks 3ltrs of wine when cuttin weight

 

[fortheo]

If volk dominates him, then topuria should have to win another fight before getting the trilogy. If volk squeeks by him, then book the trilogy immediately.

pretty sure volk got an instant rematch locked into his contract when he accepted the islam fight on short notice. The guy is getting a title shot in his next fight whether we like it or not

I hate volk gets a rematch for getting ktfo

 

[asdf122345]

A trilogy will happen.

I think Volk gets KO'd in the first round.

If Volk wins he gets KO'd in the 2nd round in the trilogy.

That word has been in use for a long while.
