Quite frankly the only reason BJJ looked so "good" in this fight (as in so good at surviving lol) is because it's Volk--but Craig is not Volk and every BJJ specialist in MMA is not Volk. When Craig actually ends up training fighters to submit Dagestani guys *in MMA* consistently, then he can start talking more. We already see what happened very early on in the MMA careers of Kron and Garry, all Craig does is talk shit about how Dagestani wrestling isn't that good by looking at in an MMA context, which he has never fought in and we have no reason to assume he'd even be good at it until he proves it.

    You still need to mount offense vs Islams mount time; which Volk did in the last few minutes. But Islam did take Volks wrestling too lightly and he will be better suited for next time. So I don’t think hand fighting and sitting in his body lock will win you rounds. And surprisingly Islam did well striking in most rounds except the last. I think it will be risky to mount Islam in the early rounds but hey we’ll see. I was wrong about Volks wrestling ability.

    I think everyone including Craig is forgetting that Islam is fairly new to the scene. This was the first time he was defending his belt. As oppose to Alex who has been around for a while and has defended his belt many times against tough opponents. So experience wise Alex is way ahead of Islam. But Islam showed lot of character to go against a machine in Alex. A rematch is definitely on the cards but after they take care of business in their own weight classes.

I am stating facts and your making up lies and it's me nut riding ,okay bud get off Volks sack for real! Volk doing better then expected in the first fight and crowd reaction does not mean he won. Talk about cheating but forgot how the commission in Australia cut the rehydration time by 12 hours in the first fight giving Volk every advantage, that kind o cheating??

    Craig, about round 4. Does striking damage from bottom trump "effective grappling" if the person in dominant position isnt inflicting damage or submission? Volk was in the less dominant position but was inflicting damage, so is that not more "effective" in a sense since Mackachev was the one actively being hit in the head?

    • @MMAELO
      @MMAELO Рік тому +19

      Is it really a dominant position if you are on bottom carrying Volk's weight, getting hit in the head, and never remotely getting close to threatening a sub. At a certain point the bottom player is only holding onto the position in a defensive manner to prevent a standup, even if it normally a "dominant" position.

    Volk was smiling yet Islam had his back while taken down. That sums up the fight for me. In a sense we see a defiant Volk smiling, bloody and nodding to the crowd. We thought the fight would be a domination due to size and strength, yet it was close. However, in no way did Volk win that fight. Islam won rounds 1,2,4 for sure !!

    I think you’re right. But I also think it would have sucked to see the 155 belt change hands like that. Volk probably did get robbed but he’s also been on the other side of it before. He definitely should have lost the decision in the 2nd fight with Holloway.

    "Rugby is a better base than Sambo"? More like being a WEIGHT BULLY is always going to win you fights at FW. Volk starts his career at 210 lbs. He cuts down to Welterweight to start his MMA career. He is at Welterweight/LW for FIVE years. He loses at Welterweight and gets knocked the f out. So he runs off to LW and after 5 fights goes down to FW to be a WEIGHT BULLY. He comes back to LW and loses to Makachev now back to FW to be a WEIGHT BULLY. Volk fans trying to erase the history that this is a guy who has cut down to FW from Light Heavyweight to be a weight bully. He can't avenge his losses at Welter and he has run from that division. Makachev lost at LW and then came back and cleared the division. When will Volk clear the Welterweight division?

    People really need to read the Scoring Criteria. The fact that people think that Time Control is one of the main criteria is bizarre. A fight it's scored by Plan A (Effectiveness) and if that shows a tie then, Plan B (Agressiveness) and if that also fails then Plan C (Control Management).
    Holding position for 3 minutes without adding damage or submission attempts while being hit isn't Effective Grappling. That's holding position while your opponent shows Plans A and Plan B.
    The fourth round shouldn't have been score for Islam.
    Those were the same judges from O'Malley vs Petr and Ankalaev vs Jan. They got chewed up by the media for not valuing the Grappling exchanges in those fights and ended up overcompensating in this one.

    Normally I'd want to watch a video like this simply because Craig Jones is an elite level practitioner who also has the rare ability to explain and teach, rather than just perform. Having experienced a decade plus in academia, along with working along side teachers/professors, research scientists, and clinical practitioners, while also having worn each of those hats myself in varying degrees, I am painfully aware that just because you are good at doing something it doesn't mean a damn thing when it comes to being able to teach it to others. Craig can both perform and teach at the absolute highest of levels.
    However, who tf do I think I am actually kidding here? I clearly just came here for one reason and one reason primarily, and that is because Craig is freaking hilarious lol
