@JReynolds I love Charles, I'm with him win or lose. Even if he pulls a Tony Ferguson (which I don't believe he will), I'll still admire and respect him.


@Taybazza04 I'm with you, I think Darriush v. Makhachev is close to 50-50. Beneil is a better striker, Islam is probably a better grappler but I'm not sure.

I think Islam gets the finish on Dariush in Rounds 4 and 5... I think Dariush will gas in the later rounds and get finished by Islam.

Volk is an absolute stud, but I honestly don't know if Islam is a good matchup for him. I do believe that Volk can give Islam some issues. However, the question remains if Volk can keep that fight standing. Since I believe that Islam will super dangerous for him on the ground. I know he could handle Ortega, but that's a different kind of threat. Anyways, I'd love to see that fight. Though it would be super ****** for Dariush. I think he deserves to get that title fight.

My pick was strongly influenced in that I thought just the opposite would happen. Islam proved to be real: he finished the man who finished 2 former Interim UFC Champions (Poirier and Gaethje) and 1 Bellator Champion (Chandler) in row. Dariush deserves the title shot, he defended his spot tonight against Gamrot and has a very long winning streak. Volk can wait until the second half of the year for his Champ-Champ Shot (Emmett or Yair will be his opponent in Perth).

What do you mean? Look at my last prediction post. Way before the fight. I literally said that Islam is a lock on there.

I'm worried for Josh Thomson, his head might just explode after tonight.

Volk should fight Yair or someone from his division.   Charles has done everything to deserve an instant rematch.  It belongs in Brazil like this fight should've been

Islam by sub was so obvious boys. I honestly don't know how you didn't see it coming. However, if you picked Dariush today - you are forgiven.
