un artificialic

[@vichuvishwa8141]

Volk is making me get outta my chair and do 40 push ups with his speech man. That man is overflowing with confidence. Islam is prolly gonna run through him but goddamn that energy and confidence is so good.

[@MansterBear]

Maybe. But Volk really isn't that much smaller. a few inches shorter, but he's been big before and think he has enough strength and power to hold his own. He's definitely faster/better with striking, and has a longer reach and Islam. This could be amazing... or it could be Islam just smashing, which is amazing in it's own right but not nearly as exciting lol

[@pieterlindeque7798]

@@MansterBear People keep forgetting that Volk comes from a sport where there's no such thing as too big to mess with. If you're a 5'6 70kg guy on the field you step to the 6'8 120kg big boy regardless. Volk is one of the last people who'd be intimidated by a size difference.

[@samnero387]

@@pieterlindeque7798 That was a long time ago.

[@Lemaforthewin]

Anatomically that doesnt matter. Your muscle and nerve system do not forget about that and can tap in to that mental and physical strength if needed. Though, on the other hand, Islam has been committed to fighting since he was a kid. These Dagistani fighters are a different. But so is Volk. Will be a dope ass fight whatsoever.
