Might be a good time for Volkanovski to move up and take a fun fight at LW like Anderson used to do.
Love the idea. 145 is in such a logjam right now, the division could really use an additional 3-6 months to establish a clear #1 contender. Emmet /Yair? Giga/KZ? Lot of fun matchups

However idk how you see it, but I'm not convinced Volk does as great at 155. He's already small for 145, and I feel like he could get outpowered in the clinch by a Machachev or Olives.

If anything, I'd be curious to see if he can drop to 135. Yan/Volk would be a bloodbath. If Aldo can do it, I bet Volk can too
 
He needs to earn that title shot. He can't sit out years and then just get it. I would like to see Volk beat him up, though.

It's a unique situation. Very few people are even willing to fight up a weight class let alone two weight classes. And he's actually defended both of his belts. I have no problem giving him a shot. Both him and Volkanovski want the fight as well.

Also, if things are going to be consistent, then other people have done less to earn title shots.
 
Triple C needs to come back and win another title.
 
Why are people picking Cejudo? He quit, like Khabib. Fuck him.
 
I would have never thought I'd say it but the only option is triple C.
 
Max is injured.
KZ is the current forerunner as the replacement.
I was just wondering if people would prefer Yair, but it seems like most wouldn't haha.

I would favor moving Max/Volk back 4-6 weeks. Any longer and I would be completely open to Yair.
 
Other, 8 fight UFC win streak by Arnold Allen get's my vote.
 
They've sparred together before at Tiger Muay Thai so this is the closest we'll have any time soon lol


Crazy, thanks for sharing lad.

Crazy how small Volk is height wise for 145. If Aldo can make 135, a part of me thinks Volk could too. If he can make the cut without looking too much trouble, I like his chances there better than at 55
