Hes not an elite level guy by any stretch but people are invested in him even if in most cases its because they want him to get his ass kicked. He has way more star power than typical fringe top 15 guys do.

People were anticipating that Volk might start declining and that his chin would be cracked after the Islam fight. Still a great win obviously but I think Islam softened Volk up significantly.

Elite kickboxer who hits hard as fuck and is fighting a bunch of guys that arent great at wrestling and usually barely even try to wrestle him. Tbh hes having a pretty easy time in MMA overall, easier than he had in his own sport.

Just give the guy his shot so he can shit or get off the pot and we can finally move on.

I just want him get derailed so we can finally drop all this. He reminds me a lot of Dillian Whyte, a boring third wheel who nobody really cares about and who lingers around acting like hes some poor victimized would be champ if only he got his shot.

One of the rare instances where the UFC and boxing have PPV on the same day and the boxing card is actually more stacked.

Lol wtf? Hes not even all that marketable tbh.

Semi modern MMA fighters like Werdum and Hendo, two guys who were literally in Pride and nowhere near as successful there as Fedor was lol. Fedor is to this day, next to Jones, probably the most all round skilled HW ever. Hes also maybe the fastest. He makes most "modern" HWs look like sloppy...

Yeah the WWE is surely bringing in way more money. They're running upwards of 5 cards a week selling tens of thousands of tickets, have multiple shows doing bigger ratings than UFC shows, have their own streaming service thats much bigger than Fight Pass, and obviously their merch deals for...

Gane and Ngannou would be harder fights for Rico in kickboxing than any challengers hes had there in years tbh. Whether he could do well in MMA? who knows. For HW MMA hes at the higher end of athleticism and obviously technical striking though.

Hill, Jiri, Jan DC, Gus, Shogun, Machida, Rampage, Vitor, Glover, Rashad, Bader, Chael Yeah...not seeing it.

Aspinall is on a completely different level to both those guys. Even Pav fucks them both up.

Fun match up stylistically. Lewis is basically a sloppy brawler with a shit gas tank and often folds under pressure, but then he is big, strong and has a ton of power. Fight probably doesnt last a round.

PFL/Bellator unfortunately has that AEW vibe where you want to support them as a major competitor/alternative but they piss away all the goodwill with their incompetence.

When the UFC is good its fucking great. Its just a shame that nowadays between every stacked big time card we get like 5 throwaway Apex shows.

Eh. I'm still on the hype train for now. He has star potential if he can go all the way. I like MMA having stars.

Thats definitely the big test for Alex at 205. If Ankalaev cant exploit Poatans perceived weaknesses nobody in that division can.

He is kind of immature in general. It is what it is though. He was a great fighter, he had his time, then he fell off. Now Poatan is having his time.

Would much rather Poatan vs Gane or even someone like Lewis, stylistically.

I still favour Ankalaev due to his grappling skills but any moment the fight is standing Poatan is a huge threat.
