[@mkdub9600]

MVP striking IQ on display. Called the exact punch that would end it then it happened

[@samuelasnake3234]

You can clearly see bias makes people blind. Adesanya was only focused on Volk completely ignoring what Ilia was doing. He was stalking him and cutting angle forcing him circle to the left (Ilia's right). I knew he was gonna catch him once he cornered him. Ilia's boxing is on another level. He may have the best boxing in the UFC and he's patient. That little subtle step to the right while throwing the overhand gave him the perfect angle. It was very clever.

[@marioiglesias4850]

and they apply that bias to their analysis of the fight, its all about what happened to Volk, wasnt he ready? motivated? injured? give credit to the winner, he faced a superior boxer and got knocked out. simple as that best boxer in UFC hands down

[@jeffn2723]

@glesias4850 He's not the best boxer in the UFC. Volk just hit his decline. Evidenced by how he almost beat (many say he did) Islam and then lost badly. Islam's head kick literally kicked Volk into his downfall. It was the beginning of the end. That is why Topuria fought him now. The UFC does these things on purpose. Would it have mattered? Probably not, Topuria may even have beat him in his prime. There are better boxers. Gaethje is a better boxer. So is Holloway. So is O'Malley. Poirier in many ways. I could keep going.

[@samuelasnake3234]

@@jeffn2723 I respect your opinion, but in my opinion, the only guy that could be close to Ilia is Holloway. And I doubt that as well. The way Ilia puts his combinations together, feints, uses his jabs to set up other punchs, the way he throws his punches, his efficiency, the way he cuts the cage and defensively the way he always has his guard up, moves his head, slips and shoulder rolls is far more superior than all the other fighters you mentioned.

I'm seriously tired of people jumping into Champ/Champ fights. And I'm tired of the UFC playing into it. Stay in your division, clean it out. Fight everyone at your weight until there's nothing left. Then go up and get that second belt. Then it actually means something.

[@cristianmontoyamarulanda5040]

Nah, that is not how life works man. If he's good enough to shorten some path to finally deserve a title shot, he's good and smart enough. Only a dumb fxck would fight 10 times just only to prove he deserves a title shot. Especially him, wait until 30's when someone finally want to fight? you couldn't get it if you are not the one wasting everything at your best waiting something.

What I find fascinating is that most fighters who were watching and commenting during the fight were all saying that Ilia is giving Volk problems. The streamers were all “Volk is looking good, the jab etc”. Mighty Mouse and Usman specially were touching how it looks like Ilia is timing Volk and then as Denzel said in Training Day, boom.

Never been a fan of the immediate rematch after a solid finish. Just because you had the belt and defended it doesn’t automatically grant you a rematch especially when you get finished definitively. Volk now has two back to back knockout losses, he needs to take a good amount of time off and possibly fight a 5-10 ranked opponent before he risks serious deterioration
