Volk only clearly won round 5, round 3 could have gone either way. 1 2 and 4 were 100% islam

Am I crazy that I am willing to argue that volk losing that fight simply reinforced his #1 p4p status to me from that performance

Well I pretty much nailed that it would be a great, close fight that Makhachev won because Volk would struggle with the size a bit early, but I didn't predict that everyone would think Volk came out looking like the better fighter

I think volk clearly has 4 and 5. 3 and 2 were a bit of a wash depending on how you score that control. I think a rematch would be ideal. Volk was incredible absolutely not a defeat even if it's a loss.

If they were the same size, different result likely. The differences are so meaningful lower in the divisions to boot.

the last time a fight like this happened was GSP v BJ Penn and GSP slaughtered BJ Penn in every area, this fight looked nothing like that and instead looked like what people thought it would look like when talking up BJ Penn against GSP

if fights could only end in a KO, a submission, or the heat death of the universe, then Volk is the p4p 100%. If the definition is who can win UFC fights, it has to be Islam.

Nah. Islam would do a lot worse at 170 than Volk did at 155. Also if they do rematch, I think I'd take Volk.

Thinking back to the end of round 4 where Volk was screaming at the top of his lungs in a body triangle raining punches on Islam's head, I wish I could know what was going through Islam's mind at that point. He did not look like he was having fun.

The "what the gently caress is happening" expression on Islam's face when Volk was on top of him at the end of the fight was worth the price of admission alone.

If some intrepid MMA photographer actually got a hi-rez photo of it, I will 100% do a faces-of-displeasure month just to use it.
