I see a lot of people writing Volk off and crowning Topuria, because of that Islam fight…

Volk is not easy to hit. Skill wise, I don't see any major advantage for Topuria, except power. Volk v Islam 2 was him coming off the couch on short notice, and we saw how far he pushed Islam in their first fight. Unless Volk hits that age 35 cliff suddenly, it should be a competitive fight.

 

[Change]

I like Volk. Topuria seems like a guy I'd like to see knocked out.

 

[TheSuperkick!]

No idea who to pick really and I have no dog in any of these fights.

For the sake of drama though, I'm going with Ilia and Paulo to win their fights. It shakes things up.

Sadly, I see Garry winning his fight.

 

[YvrzTrvly]

fukk Garry Neal sucks but we need this

deep card, first in a while

 

[profound]

woodburn had him and will regret rushing things in the 1st

everything after that is a cut worthy performance, hope he made a decent deal when they brought him in to get sacrificed vs nickal

@J Money i tied half my merab stake to barlow for +102, the other half w barlow/quinlan over 1.5 for +127

gonna let cejudos odds get fatter and hedge a cut

Since 6:30 the fights have been good this card is building the future of the UFC especially Welterweight

one of them said ''both quinlan's eyes essentially shut'' but it was only one
