Will Volk get respect if he beats Ortega convincingly?

[Jose Beehive]

All I gotta say is that this Ortega 2.0 is as exciting as Max Holloway to watch.

Ortega is tough as nails and he's just getting better and continuing to evolve.

He's almost too real.

How many Significant Strikes to the head do you think Ortega 2.0 gets in a rematch against Max?
He received 244 in the first fight.. 144 more than Tony did against Gaethje.

I honestly think he's going to win that rematch.

the dude did it correct.

As far as his in the cage skills go he's evolved.

Like, evolved with future trends of the sport kind of evolved.

His interviews are kind of too real for tv kind of thing and aren't really trending but what he did in the cage his last fight was sensational.

I almost want to say masterclass but he's not even there yet and that's exciting.

He's got a lot of ceiling above him and what a performance.

 

[empsim]

No, Holloway fans will still be salty.

 

[Jose Beehive]

lol fair enough my dude, i'd love to see it and then a rubber match.. I'd be rooting for Max of course but i've got a lot of time for Ortega, he's entertaining as fuck!

 

[LetThemBleed]

Yeah instead of the Rematch, after Frankie win? fair enough... I was just thinking how broken the top of the division seems to have been for a while now(Not Volk or Max, the rest of them) and who exactly would deserve anything ahead of Max in that rematch... Same with what happens if Volk beats Ortega....

Crickets from Zabit

Crickets from Yair

Everyone else feels miles away.

Tbf the rematch now makes more sense, it's just rather egregious given it's Max's second rematch, I'd have preferred he went off and starched Kattar after the first Volk fight, otherwise I concur, Yair and Zabit are clearly in a lovers tiff, they won't fight anyone but each other, truly weird.

 

[dildos]

Big if.

ortega is a handful for anyone at fw and as much as I like volk, I just like Ortega more and hope he destroys volk.

 

[Dan Torrance]

Ortega's last performance was epic.

The guy did it.

It's, like, movie comeback kind of shit.

I agree it does post Ortega of course, I guess a KZ vs Max eliminator would have made more sense back then... Just feels like there's a chance Volk runs out of opponents with all these 1 fight ever 2 years guys lol... Like if Max moves up and Ortega gets smashed what the hell happens ?

Indeed I loved it, his jabbing game was incredible in that fight, but I think Max's performance against him and against Kattar where better... and Volk is a different beast to KZ too... We'll see, I won't be mad if Ortega comes back and wrecks everyone, but I can't see it.

 

[IneedSometop]

I have much respect for Volk you can’t question the resume even if you think he’s 1 and 1 with Max. That being said he’s not really an exciting guy to watch imo. Hopefully Ortega can bring it and be in his face all night

 

[wookie brawl]

Not sure why Volk gets no love. Met him once in sydney near where i work. Very nice approachable bloke. Built like a tank, not somebody you want to piss off.

 

[quadrunner]

If you don’t respect volk after him beating mendes, aldo, and holloway x2 IN A ROW then you are probably an idiot

 

[Nate banged my mom]

He's almost too real.

Dude, did you see how hard he came back after his last loss?

He's got mad momentum now. Win or lose this fight I think it only increases his momentum.

We are excited now but the real treat is like 2023 Ortega that guy beats prime Khabib.

I did, but it wasn't a patch on Max's first fight against Ortega himself, never mind Max's more recent fight...

Brian has got 1 fight in 2 years worth of momentum, we saw how long his last derailment was.. Max keeps fighting ASAP win or lose.

LOL okay .. in T City's amazing resurgence performance against KZ he landed only 17 more shots than he did against Max lol... But Max landed almost triple... But then Max fought again and landed even more with about 325 more strikes than Ortega's win against KZ...
So if anyone's got momentum it's the dude who just broke a World Record for strikes, also.. Max is younger ... And neither beat Khabib imo unfortunately, or even come close .

Meanwhile Volk sits on his throne unscathed yet mildly peterubed he might have to fight Max Holloway and Brian Ortega back to back in his next 10 fights in a row.

 

[scytheavatar]

People don't respect Volk because he's a boring fighter............. just look at how everyone hated Usman after foot stomping Masvidal but respected him after he jabbed Burns to death. Volk just needs to give an exciting performance and people will start respecting him.

Nothing but respect to Max Holloway, Volk. Amazing talents of this generation, but This shit began with the Champions of Torrance California and we've been waiting for our next champion to come along. We've been waiting for a generational talent of an opponent, Khabib.

When the time is right if they got the balls to step into the godamn cage our man will win.

There's moving parts to all this that only, perhaps, I know.

Sounds a bit wacky to be fair..

I'm sorry what "shit" are you talking about? i'm completely lost now lol.

I'm pretty certain there are places that have been waiting far a lot longer than California for a generational talent hahaha... As a Brit I can't say i'm particularly sympathetic to your cause, I think i'd rather see a Talent from Estonia, Sierra Leone or Pakistan lol.
