He probably never leaves the gym. Probably sleeps on a mat there, has a praying area in a sideroom etc. That will leave you looking pale.

Volk's apelike arms always surprises, usually he has a reach advantage while being the shorter guy.

Derek Clearly is one of the judges. 

Islam better finish this fight. If it goes to decision he is ******

I would love Volkanovski to win but I expect him to just get crushed by Makhachev. Just a big ol' heaping dose of reality.

How does Derek Clearly get to judge a main event like this.

One of the most important fights of the year.

And this absolute buffoon is judging it?

Reach advantage isn't real in how it's measured. It used to be knuckle tip to arm pit, now they measure from finger tip to finger ti0 but that doesn't account for shoulder width or finger length so it's misleading. Ontop of that these UFC measurements are very inaccurate often and Volks been reported having a 64,66, 69, 70, 71 and 71.5 reach in his career at different points. I wouldn't put much stock into it.

Very true but there is probably a working stipulation with whomever he is working with to fix fights that it has to be some kind of action from the losing fighters side. Would be hard to give Volk rounds if Islam has 25 minutes of top control.
