I agree, good luck. Interesting I see the over-under at three and a half rounds if the fight does go that long that's got a favor Volk

Agree 100% the longer it goes it definitely favors VOLK LFG

Well that's my thinking as well. Volky is hard to finish though. Slight chance it could go decision. That's gambling though either you take the Decision or ITD prop. Flip that coin!

I think if you feel like it's going the distance in the main event why not sprinkle a little on Volk in his hometown because we all know the judges can be swayed by live crowds favoring the hometown fighter.

**Kermit** · 02-11-23, 10:41 PM

Go figure. The biggest favorite to go the distance ends with a finish and the biggest favorite to not go the distance goes the distance.

Porter house next LFG!!

**jrgum3** · 02-11-23, 10:48 PM

Man I had a little on Menifield so I was a little surprised at the majority draw. Of course if you factor in that the ref took away a point from him for grabbing the fence it makes sense that it ended in a draw because I actually thought you could make a good case for either guy winning that fight because it was so close.

Me too, Fighters do that all the time and I never see them take a point away without giving him a warning first

i thought i was gonna get fuked but i had it a draw and it was. anik said the last round was at least a 10-8. what the fuk was he watching. i saw a guy get taken down and the other guy just keeping him down doing basically nothing. If there was a ten eight in this fight it would have been round one where Crute was saved by the bell. Whoever had 29-27 should be thrown out of judging. this card in my opinion really sucked. If it wasnt for the last two fights i wouldn't even be watching it. I love Vok but man this is to much size to give up in my opinion. Way to much but Volk is Volk. No bet for me but will be rooting for Volk. Like fav in fight from last. Not a whole lot but i think he takes it

exact thing i thought also. "wow what a quick point deduction with no warning"

**Thor4140** · 02-11-23, 11:00 PM

These two guys should be fighting in a bar somewhere. a joke for a main card

**Nate rasta** · 02-11-23, 11:03 PM

Tafa uce has power

Alex could be bigger and taller and whatever. Size doesn't even matter in this one. It's no grappling vs 20+ years of elite Sambo. And Volks' TD defence was against guys who can't grapple.

Ortega almost submitted Alex, how the fukk can anyone be comfortably saying that Islam can't keep Alex on the ground. Volk may win on the feet but thinking he has 0.1% chance of survival on the ground is the definition of being a "casual".

Volk got tested against Mendes when Chads for once, mixed in wrestling for a change in their bout. Mendes was no clown on the ground but man that was years ago and Alex hasn't had to use his wrestling since. He fought all guys who want to be on their feet except T city and T city is no take down specialist.

Yair flicks body kick. Crack sound.

**Kermit** · 02-11-23, 11:51 PM

Man, Yair looked really really good.

**Nate rasta** · 02-11-23, 11:56 PM

Mexi Yari is legit

**Art Vandelay** · 02-11-23, 11:57 PM

Can't wait for Yair v Volk!

Yep it's all set up for the UFC should Volk lose to Makhachev like everyone thinks he will. He can come down to 145 and Yair would pose a stiff test for him to prove once and for all he's the best in the 145 division.

**209 Life** · 02-12-23, 12:44 AM

Volk rounds 1,3,5

Islam rounds 2 & 4

**JIBBBY** · 02-12-23, 12:49 AM

Holy bat shit, thank you judges!..

Oh I thought Volky won that fight 3 rounds to 2. I almost call that another robbery there.

I guess you really have to beat the champ though to win that belt.

**Nate rasta** · 02-12-23, 12:51 AM

What a fukin robbery!!!

**GunShard** · 02-12-23, 12:55 AM

Islam's height and reach advantage really does overwhelm the smaller fighter.

**Art Vandelay** · 02-12-23, 12:58 AM

The judge that had it 49-46 should be disbarred...!

**Nate rasta** · 02-12-23, 12:59 AM

Tell bitch ass Islam to move up in weight and fight welterweight if he wants to be p4p champ.penetrating pussy tried to pick on the smaller guy and got bailed out by the judges. Str8 bs

Islam did have the cleaner striking and got more take downs and control on the ground but still. Activity and sheer volume of strikes I gave to Volky.

**Thor4140** · 02-12-23, 01:02 AM

i think round four was the big problem. They gave it to the Islam, who had that crushing unbelievable body triangle while catching three hundred fist to the face just holding on. In reality i gave Islam the first two and Volk the last three. i would have given Islam round four if he just did something with the body triangle but he did absolutely nothing. After this sets in for awhile and Volk gets to watch it again, he is going to be furious.

Islam didn't do any damage with his take downs.volk finished the fight on top in the last full minute that always counts as a win in a close fight

which round did he give Islam 3 or 5? they were volks best rounds. I bet it was the same guy who didn't have it 28-28 in the crute fight like the other two

You didn't see Islam with that crusing body triangle in round four where he was beating up volks hands with his face?

i gave volk round 3,4,5. All Islam did was use that body triangle to hold on and stall while getting his face punched in

**jrgum3** · 02-12-23, 03:11 AM

I'd have to go back and watch the fight again because I had Makhachev to win the fight as the last leg of my 4 fight parlay that hit and as such I was a little biased towards him winning the fight. I actually thought he won rounds 1,3 and 4 and took the fight 48-47 but that fight was close and could've went either way. If I watch it again without any biases or leans to the side I bet than maybe I'd score it for Volk but that's how I saw the fight and the judges must've seen it that way too.

**Optional** · 02-12-23, 03:41 AM

**Allure** · 02-12-23, 06:58 AM

Re-watched it. Still have it 48-47 for Makhachev. However this will teach him a lesson about his cockiness. No way did I see this fight going the way it did. Islam underestimated Volks ground game big time. And so did I actually but then again I'm not in the octagon. Islam thought he would run through Volk and when it didn't happen he got a bit confused. Also, Volks' cardio God damnit, the guy has a tank for 15 rounds. Huge respect for Volk, guy is a machine.

**pavyracer** · 02-12-23, 09:53 AM

This fight was good. Volk won overall but because of round scoring he lost 3 out of 2 rounds.
