[@darijanjamak2632]

Its just our recency and negativity bias. People are underestimating volk hard, before the islam fight everyone thought topuria had zero chance, and now volk seems to be the underdog after one defeat on short notice to a rather unfortunate KO. I think volk has it in the bag

[@hachitana5179]

@@darijanjamak2632 he ain't for me

[@zacryan2095]

i think to many people over look just how good ilia is even volk says he only has apunchers chance like come on dude has the best boxing in the division he fought the hardest hitter and beat the shit out of him for 5 rounds made it look easy his bjj and wrestling are again better then anyone at 145 that alex has faced he beat arguably the two best ground guys in the division in ryan and mitchell this is by far his toughest fight and it has nothing to do with recency bias it has to do with his skills and just how well rounded he is any real fan of mma should see just how dangerous of a fight this is for volk and im a huge volk fan i think he is arguably top 5-10 of all time but match ups come around that dont always favor you and i think this is one of them @@darijanjamak2632

[@Absolutepower7]

How quickly and easily people forget. This dude fought Islam already, lost, came back and absolutely destroyed Yair. Now he loses again and people saying he’s washed? Volk has to remind the world once again how great he is. You got this Volk, I know you do 😌💪🏾

[@spyrothedragon091]

[@runeshadow]

Volk is a great champion! I'm OK with Topuria's talk. He's staying within the boundaries, talking about what he wants to do in the fight, keeping it professional. But yeah, Ilia's got a slice of humble pie coming right up. And still!

[@cristianoh97]

Well said i have it going for volk , I give Topuria a %25-30 chance winning Im going for him but volk is from another planet 🌎🌌 let the best man win

I think it’s really Brave of Volk to come back this quickly. If the previous interim wasn’t so pointless maybe now would have been a good time for one to allow the champ to recover without a deadline.

Saludos desde México volk

[@screamstation]

Sorry to say this, but I think Volk's reign ends here. I've watched a good bit of Ilia's fights, and I believe he'll get lucky. He's quite vicious but methodical. Confidence is everything in life and sports, and I think Islam planted a tiny seed of doubt in Volk, who might hesitate in some moments, which is only natural after a KO. But that will prove to be a deciding factor. I say 'sorry' because I love Volk.
