So to clear up the semantics, I personally don’t root for someone I don’t think will win. I may want a fighter to win but find it unlikely though. The Islam vs Charles fight for example. I wanted Chuck to win but I thought it was unlikely and I was right so I wasn’t rooting for him per say. Volk already beat Islam once so yes, he can and will do it again.
Volk is going to shock the world
Maybe you should re-watch that fight. Unless one knows nothing about scoring fights this is absolute wishful thinking.
“I believe that in Fight 1, Islam might have overlooked the guy a little bit. I think he took him a little bit light because he expected to be able to finish him. I felt Makhachev fought a little bit too aggressively early. If you know Islam, you know that’s not the way that he fights. I thought he had this idea that he was going to finish him because he was smaller and he was surprised by how good Volkanovski is. I don’t imagine that’ll happen again this time.”

their first fight really made me a volk fan. he’s one of the few guys at the top level that are looking for the hardest fights possible. i care about his story now. way more invested in this one than the first fight.
going up in weight on short notice against a monster. savage.
hard to have 5 rounds of cardio on 11 days notice
but much respect to this manly man, volk, for stepping in
Maybe … I watched his post fight press conference after his last win and he talked about taking some time off to get some much needed clean-up surgeries. That was in early July.
You are correct but the surgery was minor and he already fucked Yair up post surgery.
I reckon volk may not be 100% fit but he’d be close to it
This.
here come the excuses already
watch Islam make excuses once he is exposed by Volk Goat again
Plus your own little retarded ass making excuses for him from the first fight, calling him “weight depleted”. Fucking lol, dude is probably the heaviest anyone has ever been at LW in the ufc apart from Khabib maybe.
Stupid hack troll
He was dehydrated in the last fight because Aus doesn’t give the same time re hydrate, moron.
Even while significantly depleted by dehydration he handled your boy.
Gonna be a rough night for you when Khabib’s beat up guy makes the series between him and Volk 2-0.
Yeah and that’s the whole point you simpleton. If he didn’t cut such huge amounts of weight then the quicker turnaround from weigh ins to the fight wouldn’t have been an issue for him. But he needed to give himself a 20 pound weight advantage over a featherweight striker so that he could hold his back for half the fight, and he still got outstruck and exposed and lost a piece of his soul to Volk in the 5th rd.
You conveniently leave out the fact that he was the only fighter on that entire card who had an issue with the quick turnaround.
Stupid excuse from a stupid know nothing bitch.
Besides he used IV’s anyway so he wasnt even that dehydrated.
Literally everyone in MMA cuts weight outside of HW, lill bitch.
Volk was just well above the LW limit but had to cut down.
No excuses for the formerly 214 lbs sub 15% body fat Volk
Agreed. But was he in his corner for the first fight? I honestly don’t remember.
And yet one of these men makes featherweight easily, and actually has a size disadvantage against other featherweights, the other guy has to cut 30-40 pounds to make lightweight, uses IV’s and apparently cant compete at his best unless he has 2 days to rehydrate…
Also the same guy that popped earlier in his career, also the same guy thats clearly been juiced his whole life
In the face of facts you will just say anything and that’s why uou have zero credibilty just like the cheating dagi crew.
