You better rewatch Islam vs Davi Ramos, Ramos has not the fight IQ of Volk, but he is definetely stronger and has better bjj.
Islam will clinch him and Volk will eat some knees before being taken down.

Who is this clown? Sean? With one of the worst tattoos I have ever seen on... what is that? Pale skinny girly arms. Or are you actually a girl? That must be it. Pale skinny nerdy girl with freckles and square glasses.

Why would you get a tattoo of an ape skull on your arm? And why wouldn't you get it done by someone who knows what they are doing? It must be a money thing. You must be poor. But looking at how it came out, how horrible it looks why would you even put up a picture on a public forum? Are you some sadomasochistic who enjoys being humiliated? Are you a submissive girl who likes getting humiliated and wishes Andrew Tate was your bf?

And how come we have never seen you on here until now? What made you worm yourself out from under the rock you have been hiding under? Explains why you are so anaemic and pale. You need to get more sun. And eat more meat. 

Oh sorry. You're from Canada. Never mind.

I'm surprised at just how calm I feel despite having most of my net worth of Makhachev. If it was anyone else I wouldn't be able to sleep and my heart rate would be in triple digits 24/7.

This is father's plan, so just make your bet and relax. I can't believe people are still doubting it. 

Lisac and jeffords are the "value" gamblers who make the bookies rich. Well at least until my bets cash.

You might have missed it but jeffords on the lewis/Spivak thread actually thought another user was khabib because he had a khabib pfp 🤔🤦🏻‍♂️

I saw Tartara posting recently on the miscellaneous thread but he seems to be staying out of the main card ones now and I'm sure prison mike is banned or suspended. 

Good times.

I actually can't believe that people still, still doubt Makhachev. 

First it was he was chinny because he has lost once by KO. Then it was he was a weight bully. The it was he has no standup. Next it was he has no cardio. Then it was he has no finishes 
Now it's Khabib is not around.

Has no one ever paid attention to this mans evolution and what people actually say about him? I have personally spoken to some people who have seen him in the gym. Everyone who knows him says he has not yet even shown 20% of his game. He is thought to be better than Khabib with his wrestling and grappling. He is thought to have very very good stand up. And he is known to have an unbreakable will, similar to Volk.

He almost never gets hit, he does not get tired. He is out to prove a point. I am actually worried for Volk. This is not going to be close. People still don't understand who they are seeing in front of them.

By the end of his career I expect Makhachev to be the undisputed pound for pound number 1 of all time. Not Jones. Not GSP. Not Khabib. Not Usman. Not anyone else.

And then it was his competition. First Moises was going to out grapple him. The Bobby Green was going to outstike him. Then Oliviera was going to rock him submit him. Does everyone remember the narratives going into those fights? It was always Makhachev is going to get exposed.

Even after he absolutely dominates Volk, I expect people to say he is going to lose his next fight. People never learn

Your net worth is safe. In fact it will be increased by 1.28 by the end of the weekend. 

Khabib on this forum. If course. Makes sense. 🤦

It really is crazy.

I even looked back at the khabib/mcgregor tapology page and khabib was barely the tapology favourite. I think most people doubt these guys because they are so humble and don't boast. 

All it means is free money for us. Umar, Usman and Islam will be locks for years to come.

Like I've said, definitely won't be betting on a fight like this nor do I think Volk is surely winning this lol, just saying you're all making it out to be like a lifelong #1 contender is fighting a guy that just broke into top 15 barely. 

As far as that Egor dude goes.. you really comparing the p4p #1 who fought across 3 divisions in his career to guys like QAnonier and Holloway who he beat 3 times? Even if he loses to Islam, he's still a one of a kind fighter that's levels above both of them, and if he does win, you're all gonna jack him off as if he's the new GSP and ****.

He will never be near GSP name, because he has no charisma.
But your picks are interesting, will follow you to see who is right. 
Just a game.

Is charisma even a part of who's in the GOAT discussion? Because then McGregor would be up there and that's just ridiculous. 

We're looking at skill, and if Volk beats Islam who's apparently the best fighter the world has ever seen since its inception, where do you put him?

Conor has no wins since Obama was president.

GSP Jones Khabib has aura of GOAT, Usman also

Volk will lose. And I doubt he beats Emmett, if Emmett will win. After Emmett I doubt he beats Allen.

in 155 division he could enter top 10-15, maybe

It is my opinion, have a nice life with yours.

Emmet and Allen beating Volk? Emmet gifted that Kattar decision and his biggest win before that was probably Burgos, he's as 1 dimensional as it gets and about to get his head kicked in by Yair who doesn't have too much going for himself either lol.

And Allen? He's literally Volk from Wish minus the gas tank and other qualities, but yeah, all the best to you too bud
