Was Volkanovski Ever Any Good????

Folded vs Islam ? Idiotic thread for someone with a 2012 acc

What else would you call it? It was always so obvious that volks height is a weakness. Just throw a body kick as average sized human being and your foot will hit his head. This is not a weakness that can be fixed.
 
Is this a real post ?

Sometimes the truth is less believable than the delusion it exposes. Topuria may have been the one to land the punch but this thread was needed to break mass psychosis sherdog had volkanovski.
 
Jesus, he has so many opponents that had power or are KO threats……..
 
Don't be stupid.

Very few ex-champ fighters in UFC history have come back from a brutal KO and become world champs again. During his hightime, he was an incredible champ.

GSP is the only fighter I can think of off the top of my head to get KO'd and comeback and win a chip.
Bisping not really Bisping but he got to it after Beutal KO losses. Pereira is the most recent I can think of.
 
If Volk had retired after beating Rodriguez; we wouldn't even be in this thread.
We would still be in this thread but the title would be something like "Volk retired too early. Avoided real competition" trust me Sherdog is magical with the threads they create.
 
Mendes, Aldo, Zombie and Yair are always a threat.

-Mendes was 1-2 last 3 when they fought and was already exposed by conor. Conor always quits from getting punched hard but he ate mendes' best punches.
-Aldo was wornout
-Zombie is a pushover. Lets be serious.
-Yair is easy to beat. Anybody that throws themself at him has a 50/50 chance of taking him down and winning let alone a top fighter. Past his prime Edgar proved this years ago and volk just copied his blueprint.
 
...is what no one is thinking.


That being said, RIP Volk era.
Greatest Feather of All-Time (some may disagree) lost to most skilled FW ever.
Skill level keeps increasing over time, as Joe Rogan said tonight.
And GSP has agreed with this statement many times.

Topuria reign begins....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Volk's 61.5% finish rate (16 finishes out of 26 wins)
vs
Ilia's 86.6% finish rate (13 finishes out of 15 wins)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Featherweight division will become more exciting.
61% is still pretty good, especially at championship level. 86% is Anderson Silva tier, will be interesting to see if he can keep it up now that he going to be fighting the best guys in the division.
 
Seriously though. First time he runs into any power hes out cold and first time he fought someone thats actually elite like Islam he folded. Super overrated. This was basically guaranteed.
