 it's the same **** for every impressive fighter. Islam,charles,holloway. The fan base is very vocal and this turns off everyone that is not a fan.

And Islam is on another level. I picked Do Bronx in the 1st and in the 2nd just by heart, but there's no way he's winning this. 

I can't see anyone taking this belt from him right now.

Jones beating Stipe doesn't change his standing as GOAT or not GOAT by much. If he loses it's a bad blow to that status though.

Volk definitely should NOT fight in January. He needs time to recover. Maybe fight Ilia around late spring early summer.

I will die on the hill that the johny walker fight should have continued. Unless walker himself tells us that it was the right decision and that he was out of it i will not belive it.

I think the comission needs to have a serious talk about refs taking better control of fights and being more liberal with point deductions. Only way to lower the amount of fouls.

I love Volk but this might be the end of the road for him similar to Adesanya.  Topuria hits very hard and if he fights him in January that quickly, Topuria might just get the TKO victory.  When something like this happens to a great fighter, it usually means its the end.  I guess those extra hours of hydration really do matter in Islam's case.

I haven't personally seen that at all. But I'm not very active on mma social media or anything, so I believe you that it's out there. Thanks for clarifying

Volk never should have taken an 11 days notice fight against ISLAM of all people. That was a dumb ass decision. Half those days you have to just prepare for the weight cut. Now he cant actually prove anything against islam anymore, that was his last shot. dumb dumb dumb
