R1&4 for Islam, R3&5 for Volk
I'll need to give that a rewatch *on mute* once I find the time. R2 is the toss-up and settling round, I think.

Now if interim titles actually meant something, then maybe it would work. But they don’t.

3, 5 Volk
pretty clear UD
I think Islam underestimated Volk, second match he'd won clearly. His game plan with Xavier and Khabib was not like this. Just his ego to stand up with Volk. He could wrestle since round 1 and in R 4-5 Volk would be tired and choked

In regards to defences: It has never been done and I don't see it happening anytime soon. Going back and forth to defend a belt of two different divisions simultaneously is simply a tough task and almost impossible. Otherwise it would've been done before already.

Yes fighters should be able to move weight classes.
When belts are on the line yes they should be able to win one belt while still having one in another division.
I dont think it’s possible to defend multiple belts in an efficient way. The simultaneous belt holder might after a month of time decide which belt to vacate and which belt to defend.
In a perfect world.

Yes, agreed. In addition, organizations do it because fights like that sell. I haven't checked the post presser yet, but I'm pretty sure this card is among the highest PPV buys.
