    Volk has two losses in his career. A TKO in his fourth pro fight and a fight against Islam where he took the best lightweight in the world to the scorecard and narrowly lost. The TKO happened at welterweight. Since being in featherweight, Volk has been extremely durable and has an insane fight IQ. Ilia couldn’t finish Josh Emmitt in 5 rounds (who is a very tough fighter). But how does he expect to take out Volk in less than a round? That’s pretty nuts and it’s clear he’s just trying to talk his way into a championship fight before Volk fights Islam imo

      Yeah, and Jose Aldo had been undefeated for 10 years and many considered him the p4p best right next to Jon Jones, and when Conor came in saying he will finish Aldo in 1 round everyone called him a clown, and thought Aldo was gonna run through him, only for Conor to KO him in 13 seconds. I’m not saying that’s what Ilia is gonna do because I really don’t know, but this is the fight game and anything can happen.

      Yeah but the thing is Volk fights differently in every fight as Volk himself is also a master of gameplanning according to his opponents' strengths and weaknesses. The only time Volk did not prepare well was his striking game against Islam, because he spent most of his time on takedown defense, the ability to get back on his feet and submission defense. You can see he couldn't really get into Islam's range without getting countered.

    I'm from Spain and i just love to hear Topuria and Ariel saying they don't like bullfighting cause is mean and cruel. In my country is a damn nonsense, because only a few old fashioned guys still like it and somehow the whole thing is still running. They already banned it in Catalonia, Canary Islands and other regions and I hope soon gets banned in the rest of the country. Animal abuse is unforgivable.

      Volk fought Chad Mendes before, and he got knocked down once and taken down a couple of times, but he came back strong and knocked Mendes out. So yeah, maybe Volk is really too used to facing opponents at least 3 or 4 inches taller than him.

      This is a possibility. But its not really an advantage. Volk beats these taller fighters using range. Weirdly. He has far more power than Ilia. He will probs knock Ilia out tbh.

      ​@@ShreddinThrashAs a Volk fan I don't think he has more power than Ilia - he rarely KOs or even TKOs his opponents more recently. But I believe he is stronger for wrestling than Ilia

      @M3Lucky volk has more power than ilia. Lets see ilia ko max holloway. Obviously Volks recent fights give you the false impression that he cant ko someone.
