Do Chandler-Whittaker at a 180 catchweight (kidding)
Bring Max in at 170 to be the BEYOND Baddest Mother Fucker. He could hold the BMF and the BMMF belt simultaneously.
Lame…but not surprised. He publicly said a while back that Robert wasn’t a guy he wanted to fight, instead he’d rather train with him, because he liked him…And now he pulls out of the fight 9.days from the card. This is the 3rd big fight he’s pulled out of/fucked up, 2nd main event. First it was Leon, then Diaz and now against Robert…
I won’t be shocked if he’s miraculously ready to fight a guy (who’s had no camp, or a blown up WW) at the upcoming Abu Dhabi card…or he’ll just fight in Abu Dhabi in his annual October slot.

Probably his plan all along to give a guy with a full beard less mustache a payday he doesn’t deserve.

Islam moving up to 185?
Props to Bobby Whittaker for taking this fight. Tough, unknown opponent

Wow what a replacement fighter. Aliskerov is a monster too.

Whitaker is a stud for accepting this “nothing to gain” fight.

Costa suck…recently lost to Bobby and is 1-4 in his last 5. Back to the prelims for Mr. Overrated.
Him wanting to get paid is by far his biggest motivation here lol

Fighters never turn fights down. Got it. You’re a mind reader. Got it.
Aliskerov is very good but lost to Khamzat That said this is a good fight and he might beat Khamzat in a rematch

I have no doubt about the validity of the first half of your statement. Now that little tidbit about Chichi not getting the yayo, outlooks looking cloudy on that one buddy.

I like this fight. Both big scary guys with power & talent. VOLKOV is probably the better striker but Sergei more powerful and more aggressive and killer instincts
Sergei by KO but Volkov could expose him especially if he’s gun shy after Aspinall KOed him
Good fight
