    • Outside of rd 5 Islam controlled Volk multiple times.... Ortega was throwing hail Mary subs after being hurt. I don't think it's a wise plan for Ilia unless he beats up Volk first but thats what he did to Bryce and Emmett, hurt them then grappled

    • To be fair Islam took his back but couldn't do anything, admittedly he was in a good position but even a bigger fighter couldnt easily wrestling him. The ortega stuff though jeez....that was some of the grittier refusal to quit I've seen in a pro fight I love Volk, I know he has flaws, but his attitude and fight IQ is brilliant and I'd love him to get a couple more big wins before calling it a day

  • Topuria ended up starching Jai Herbert, but he was getting picked apart a bit before that. Volkanovski doesn't have that reach, but he has smart striking, better footwork (Herbert's movement was giving Topuria trouble) and more power. That said, Volk just got his chin checked three months ago, and topuria hits frigging hard. It's tough to call and with this line, I wouldn't put a cent on this.

  • You are a G Dan! One thing I’ve noticed is Ilia seems to get caught with check left hook quite often, and lead leg gets kicked out. Volk will capitalise on these two which I feel will make the difference in the fight. I expect a similar finish from Volk, in the same way he finished Yair

    @lukemorris9917@lukemorris99172 ай бұрын
    • Yeah…Volk will chew up that lead leg early to take away the power and jab his face off. Fight won’t go beyond 3 rounds. Ilia has been rushed to this title fight.

    • Hahahaha, he will finish Ilia the same way he finished Yair. 🤣. Ilia will throw a left hook to Volks right side of his head above the ear and put Volk to sleep. Volk is done and once again we will hear all the excuses that he gives. Or his team will accuse Ilia of cheating because that's what they do. Volk and his team are the biggest crybabies in the UFC.
