rewatch Islam vs Davi Ramos fight, Volkanovski fight will be something like that, he will eat knees in thai clinches.
and like Arman Tsarukyan said, Davi Ramos was his physicaly strongest opponent.

RNC 2nd or rd round, if it goes to 4-5th round - I will give props to Volk, because he has no jujitsu like Moises

My biggest knock on Zubaira is the amount of split decisions he's been in, but it's not going to happen on this night.

Tukhugov will TKO/KO this dude. Brenner is not going to be able to take him down & control him, he'll be forced into a standup match that he's completely out matched in.

Tafa vs. Lane
Junior Tafa, TKO, R2
Wow, Austen Lane is that ex football player who got KO'd in a few seconds by Greg Hardy on the Contender Serie a few years ago... He rebounded well after that but I'm not sure he can climb higher than gatekeeper to the UFC... Well, it's heavyweight, so a few KO wins here and there are possible.

Just thinking about it, this has to be the first time the best guy is fighting the 2nd best guy 

Pretty cool birthday gift for me from the ufc, I’m pretty hype for it

Makhachev vs. Volkanovski
Islam Makhachev, SUB, R4
Islam will implement his grappling early, I just think Volk hangs around to not get finished for awhile. Volk has never faced anyone with the grappling expertise of Islam. Don't see how a Thailand training camp helps either, unless he plans on chewing Islam up early, I think he'll be tentative to engage.

Rodriguez vs. Emmett
Josh Emmett, TKO, R5
I think Josh catches Yair late.

Tafa vs. Cortes-Acosta
Junior Tafa, TKO, R1
Winning against Vanderaa and Sherman by decision is somehow a bad look for of "young" heavyweight prospect... Tafa has less experience, but he looks to be the most dynamic finisher of the two. Will his cardio be any good if he can't finish Waldo in 1 or 2 rounds ?

Volkanovski should stay in his **** division and keep trying to beat people with decisions.

If you think he can win just tell me how

He can't win but featherweight is far from **** lmao. And nah I'd rather see this amazing superfight, even if t's a one sided beating. He can go back down after Islam's snaps his enormous win streak

Volk is the best p4p fighter and a huge underdog. I'll certainly take him +275

Featherweight is far from ****, Volk just happens to be above everyone. Much like how it is with Islam at lightweight, it’s really damn good but one guy happens to be better than everyone else

It's the 3rd best division in the UFC just bellow 155 and 135, At worst you can say 170 better, But saying it a **** division is a **** take by an idiot, 

also. Volk not getting KO's because Ortega and Holloway chin, He absutlly beat the **** out of Ortega and Holloway in the trilogy fight

Meh welterweight as of late is boring. A lot of ducking involved. Kumshot Chimaev missing weight. Wonderboy holding onto his rank despite being more of a money fighter than a contender. Occasional wars. Colby and Jorge ducking everything they can. The only saving graces of welterweight were Shavkat, JDM, Usman vs Edwards 2, Burns vs Chimaev and Wonderboy vs Trailblazer. I can name more huge things that happened in middleweight

Agreed way too much politicking at 170 some great fights but more shucking and jiving out of the ring.
