loving Volkanovski, man

Just spends the round standing with him and getting kicked a dozen times so he can flatten him in the last minute

A true renaissance man


Headbutt taints that round. Fight was just getting interesting and Yair goes down on basically the next clean shot after the foul.

VOLK VOLK VOLK what a goddamn king, the only round where Yair was having some real success is the one he gets finished in.

What a performance, he took some hits and then just turned up the gas "oh, is it time finish this?". Man switched up 3 gears like it was nothing

That was a Herb Dean ending all right

Feel like he was disappointed there wasn't more blood he was leaning in so close to see the damage without calling for the bell.

Yeah, was thinking this too. Volk was beatin yair up hard for two rounds before hand sure, but him going down shortly after one of the most significant looking accidental headbutts ive seen, you can’t help but think it played a part

Headbutt was unfortunate. I feel like a head strike like that should have a mandatory minimum amount of time taken to give the fighters the best chance to recover.

Volk with another dominating performance. Would be great to see him fight at 155 again.

I could watch Volk turn in performances like that for years. What a great card top to bottom.

Also learned from a friend who lives in the area that Woodburn trains at a gym inside a dying mall anchored by a DMV in Apopka.

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.

i think that step in right hook would have had a similar effect without the headbutt. it was vicious and perfectly timed to catch yair moving into it. that piston body shot against the cage before the takedown made me wince.

fun fact: the 170er who finished volk also got approached by the UFC to be on TUF: Canada vs Australia and then it turned out he was a convicted felon because of an incident where he and his friends got into a barfight and unintentionally stole a dude's wallet so he was legally prohibited

It's not really any more wild than some dude from Louisville or Ailey being the best boxer ever.
