Topuria has thrown it a few times and whiffed short because volk has been leaning back off the break.

Corralling and blitzing him against the fence and going back to it was smart strategy tbh.

That was pretty high iq from toporia.

He was conserving his energy and waiting way, way more patiently than he has in the past. Great decisionmaking.

Even if it's not what actually happened, I think Volk forever wonders if going up to 155 hosed his chin.

Volk is probably back before I would have reccomended after the last KO but Topuria really does hit that hard.

He flat starches dudes.

It's how her species communicates

This has been interesting, stopped watching UFC a while ago, like a while, while ago. Decide to watch, hear about this best featherweight ever non stop, then.. uh, oh, he takes a nap.

Volk has been one of the most reliable performers for the past half-decade. It was a real treat watching him perform for the past 5 years.

Volk also just seems like an affable dude with a sense of humor so it's easy to like him too. "Seems like a decent guy" is a hard thing to find in this sport sometimes

Going up in weight while getting on in fighting age is a recipe for retirement.
Max could have the same thing coming at 300
