still can’t get it. Maka has not done enough to be the best pound for pound or even win that fight soooooo dominantly that it’s even a question.
Sorry bruh, grow a mustache to go with the weird beard then talk about pound4pound. Khabib left NO doubt with his greatness, u have already left those doubts buddy

I think if they run it back Volk wins. He had Islam super gassed towards the end of the fight. If he came out with the same mentality he has in the 5th he wins this fight
na

volk was only able to push that pace in the 5th because islam was gassed and a lot slower.

islam power in the first 2-3 rounds was why Volk fought cautious, once Volk seen he was slowing and losing strength he turned it up.

he also realized he needed a knock out to win, so he had no choice.


You have to think islam would do a lot better in a rematch because he knows exactly how to fight Volk now. Volk fought a perfect fight imo, and it still wasn't enough.

I think the size and weight are just too much.

he didn't lose the fight because he was the less skillful man so he should be proud of that and stay at 145 imo.

UFC needs to adopt a point system like Tennis. When someone lower beats someone higher they just automatically take that persons rank and it messes a bunch of shyt up.

Islam is no Khabib on the ground. Khabib woulda choked Volk out within 2
During the fight, someone said that Islam lacks the chain wrestling that Khabib had. He goes for the body lock or a single/double but can't advance from takedown to takedown in sequence and explosiveness.

It's crazy the difference ten pounds make. Volk was looking kinda flabby but it's probably because he trained his cardio so much. I'd bet he did a ton of grappling for this fight which is how he was able to nullify Islam's wrestling.

Then you look at Islam his shoulders looked huge, so did his biceps. That dude had a crazy physique. But it's problem what made him gas. He thought he was just gonna bully Volk and wasn't ready for that fight. Tbh I don't even know how Islam is getting credit. this was supposed to be Khabib 2.0 instead a smaller weaker man manhandled you and had you with your arms up like you got crucified gasping for air.

I think Aljimain Sterling can definitely finish Volkanoski. You let aljo take your back like that youre getting finished or it's going to keep happening to you round after round
