[Nightgunner05]

Knew it! There's only so long you can do this game for.

 

[Afrikan]

Got a Beautiful, seems nice, wife... Sick Car.... nice house...

And the now UFC Champ, beating one of the best ever.

What a life for the young man.

 

[Fact Checker]

Volk is levels above Aldo. Aldo fought inferior opponents in a weak division at the time

Okay bud, didn’t Volk nearly get slumped by the remains of semi retired Mendes?

Volk got what was coming to him, an actual wrestler with elite athleticism. He was outmatched.

 

[13Seconds]

I called it.

So did more than half of the world. Your shit ain't special lol.

Instead of smelling your own shit maybe pay some attention outside of yourself.

 

[Luthien]

Yay let's watch Volk get knocked out cold for a third time in a row

 

[biscuitsbrah]

wow. great night of fights. cant believe the volk era is officially over. from looking so fast, to looking like he couldn't move fast enough. what is goin on? the landscape changes again, the wheels of time grinding forward.

Age and wear and tear baby

 

[BFG]

Volk needs some time off and to think about what's next. Being his age in the lighter divisions usually doesn't end well and I would hate it if he had a Tony Ferguson-type end to his career. He would be a great guy to have behind the mic to call fights and I'm sure he'd be a hell of a trainer. Lots of turnover tonight, but may be time for guys like Henry and Alex to ride off into the sunset.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Agreed, he needs to take time to recover and regroup, figure things out.

problem is he is addicted to the spotlight i believe he even alluded to it himself

 

[Mystic Mac Miller]

Bro those "Deal With It" sunglasses lol

 

[rj144]

I will try to calm @Luthien down for the rest of the evening.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

 

[Volador]

Again, no one at 35+ has ever won or a defended a belt. Par for the course. Nothing but respect for Volkanovski and what he's accomplished. Great win for Ilia. On the button.

What divison does this refer to, just FW? Aren't there are many HWs who did this, e.g.: DC and Stipe?

 

[Ozze]

The callouts tonight though...

Colby and Conor.

 

[Young Calf Kick]

Volk was never good or my friend

Volk was never my good friend

 

[Goat Poster]

Lol calling out McGregor is like a cliche at this point

That fight would be fucking huuuuuge here in Europe. If Connor wants it I think they make it.

Connor may prefer it if not for any other reason than to fuck over Chandler.

 

[Tapatio]

Lmfao Hyperbole Joe at it again. It's an honor to listen to his bullshit

 

[josh345]

Honestly Sherdoggers I didn't particularly enjoy this card cause the fighters I wanted to win didn't.
But I guess Robert Whittaker vs. Paulo Costa was pretty awesome.
I think I'll enjoy next weeks card a little more.

Yeah fuck this card. I'm sure that was a good punch from illa but you can't tell me that MAYBE volks previous ko didn't contribute to this. And he's 35.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Why did he have to take the fuckin Islam fight on short notice...

 

[1BadMF]

who did Topuria call out? I missed it

 

[Luthien]

I will calm @Luthien down.
