  1. Volkanovski is still the best fighter in the world one round longer and Islam would have lost via ko,after the third round he lost his stamina and tried to hold him with wrestle on the ground,he would have lost if 4th round would have been in stand up,in my opinion Volkanovski won

  2. Islam is not the greatest fighter in the world, volk is still #1 Islam is a joke, don't get me wrong islam is a great fighter but that fight he was not the better fighter, he panicked all he could do was hold him, that rule really needs to go.

  3. So we have Volk stating in the post-fight conference that "I could have done more" and Islam saying "I figure I won 3 rounds and I didn't want to make a mistake". Clearly there is respect there, but in my mind the best pound for pound fighter wouldn't have to rely on points and just try to survive the last round after getting caught. Volk faught like a champ and Islam said it it himself: "It doesn't matter HOW I won". I think the damage on Islam's face as compared to Volk tells the whole story.

  5. He's avoiding the rematch question. If he knows he won decisively he would jump on the rematch to prove doubters wrong. He's got his tail tucked while he claims to be THE best fighter in the world. Well, if that's a fact he can take the heavyweight belt next as THE best fighter in the world.

  6. Not a p4p fight… you can't have that prestige with 1 title defense against a champ from a lower weight division who hung in there with you…Volk is still the man. That's all team khabib cared about from the callout… and they lost their humbleness many fights ago. Run it back. There is no p4p… headshot.

  7. What are you talking about , Volk was number 1 fighter and Islam number two and he won being a guest in the hot country whereas it’s -30 in Dagestan . You expected this to be easy fight ? Jokes

  8. I hope people stop calling him boring now. Dude stood up and fought like a warrior, it was an awesome fight from both sides.
    I'm so impressed by them both, Volk is such a beast. Fighting the champ diractly in his LW debut in UFC is such a cool move.
    Cant wait to see both guys go at it again, really hope for a rematch.
    But Volk vs Yair Rodriguez is just a banger and i would like to see that one first. I dont know if we can have a rematch diractly between Islam and Volk.
    Yair is an interim titleholder now in FW and shouldnt have to wait for too long. If Islam fights volk in summer again then yair will have to wait any longer.
    Tough situation this one, volk wants to be active. Islam idk how active he wants to be, if he fights every 6 motnh then Volk will have to wait and fight Yair for FW-title.
    If Yair beats him which he can cuz Yair is so unpredictible then the rematch between Islam vs Volk wont look as good because its not champ vs champ.
