You can feel the mutual respect between the two. The trash talk is all just for show. Class acts these two, I am absolutely pumped to see this rematch!!

Usman never used to be nice to any fighter I think Leon Edwards did something to Usman

[@ItsReplayBro]

I’m very late but yes. I think he has not as much confidence because reality set in. His knees are what they use too and it’s hard for him to compete with these young guys. Prime only come 1 time in your life and when it goes, you will change forever. Usman with good knees can be champ but he can’t even throw kicks. His wrestling is pure upper body based. How can he fight with Dricus or Strickland or Leon with only punching and striking. This is not work, you have to have all weapons. It’s sad but usmans time has went. He is still very dangerous though, just not champ level anymore.

[@Justsomeguy26]

[@notoftentold4076]

If Volk didnt get enough hydration time when he fight as a FW then he would for sure also be weaker on fight night. But because he is jumping up now, he doesnt have that problem. So Islam is right.

[@TranNguyen-mg9qq]

Islam still respectful in trash talk, keep mentioning Volk is tough and strong and never quit. Its not personal for Islam, while Volk is way more emotional here ... the crowd, the hydration process, all important part of the game, Islam admits it, while Volk pretends he just need his skills. Skills wise, Islam is better standing or on the ground, he proved it.

As stated you can see the trash talk is just for show. They crack every now and then and give eachother the highest of praise. I do think both can win. I'm Aussie but not biased. (Khabib is king.) I just can't see Islam flooring Volk with the hands unless it's on the end of a combination or Volk steps into the punch. I can see Volk flooring Islam with a clean shot. But once on the ground, Islam is so tough and might shake it off. Honestly just two great fighters and whatever the outcome both champions. If I HAD TO BET I'd put my money on Volk just because of the power advantage.

[@mobeck]

Khabib and Makhachev's real skill is in weight cutting. Be interesting to see them against guys their own size.

Islam is fighting for legacy. Its true he wouldn’t take a short notice fight. They treat themselves like the high calibre fighter they are. Short notice fights should be given to the lower ranked fighters to give them a chance to make some money and a deserved chance at the belt for showing up in time for the UFC. The best should prepare for the best.

@@zavalamark_ there's no telling unless he does a full training camp and then fights him. But he chose to fight on short notice so if he loses he has nobody to blame but himself because surely he could have gotten this fight at a later date. If I was him with the last fight being so close when he DID have a full training camp and had the advantage of being at home, I wouldn't take the fight without being able to have a full training camp, especially being in another country. Kind of shows what Islam was saying, they offered him enough money and that's what he cared about more. The problem with that is if he loses this time there won't be a 3rd time. Bad decision if you ask me.
