[52-80 19374]

In a decade nobodys been able to solve the Khabib school of grappling, so i dont see why it starts now with Volk on Islam. 

Islam wears him out and sub in the 3rd or 4th. 

 

dark horse: Emmett to beat that Yair fuck

[52-80 19374]

Volks history is mostly beating strikers and 1 undersized Chad Mendes. He almost got subbed by Brian Ortega, which went to 5rd decision. Islam choked out Oliveira…the transitive math points to obvious conclusion IMO

[Hermanator 7570]

If Volkanovski wins this

Yes, but he didn't.  And Ortega is a Renzo Gracie black belt who is huge and strong for that weight class.  I didn't come away from that thinking that Volk is vulnerable to grapplers; I came away from it thinking that it may be physically impossible for anybody at that weight to choke him out.

That said, Islam is different.  So it's a fasicnating matchup.  Can Islam get the sub?  Can Volk get the TKO?  If neither, who does more to win the decision?  Shit, I have no earthly idea who wins this, or how.

I thought Ortega was part of the Torrance crew, Rorion's two sons.

I agree Islam is different. He was able to sub Oliveira, which is saying something.

[52-80 19374]

So in local time this is an early Sunday morning fight?

I get that most of their PPV revenue is from north america, but dont they want the local A/NZ folks to watch local fighters and MEA/Russian/Caucasus folks to see Islam also?

Yes, good catch.  He's a Rener Gracie black belt, not Renzo Gracie.

Torrance are just some stab your own family in the back business dealings and historical revisionists. Renzo is just stab you type thug.

If youre portuguese do you just call him Whore-reon?

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

If youre portuguese do you just call him Whore-reon?

Well, yes. That is a close approximation of the Portuguese pronunciation. Which is convenient.

[ajax 2671]

Della Madalena and Brown look like two different weight classes. Brown is huge.

[ajax 2671]

Didn't matter I guess.

Been waiting to see that entrance in that country. Thousands of Aussies singing "can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You'd better run, you'd better take cover" didn't disappoint.

[Hermanator 7570]

I don't know how to score the first 2

[ajax 2671]

Volk seems stronger than Islam.

[JohnnyRage 1617]

What an F-ing fight

[Hermanator 7570]

I think 3-1 Makhachev but who knows. 

Volkanovski is a true G. Mad respect for this guy. He's like a big cranium on top of a pile of muscle. 

[Hermanator 7570]

Makhachev's Thai boxing has been the difference. Didn't know he had that in him. 

[Longhorn94 2489]

Vols kicked his ass! 3-2

[ajax 2671]

Love both these guys. Could go either way.

[JohnnyRage 1617]

Fuck yeah! But still 3-2 Makhachev, but my 2nd round feed cut out for a few secs.

[Hermanator 7570]

Got Volkanovski taking the 5th. What an elite battle. Volkanovski on top w ground and pound at the final bell

[Hermanator 7570]

49-46 seemed nuts but 48-47 either way seemed right. Great show. I had to piss the last 2 rounds but didn't want to miss anything

[JohnnyRage 1617]

One man won the fight, the other man won more rounds with length and great striking, and of course ground control.

[smuggs 9394]

Islam was completely gassed, Volk was ready for another round. Some pretty great standup from Islam. Man what a great fight.

Seems bare knuckle ain’t going much better than his UFC career.

Darren Till cut from UFC

[JohnnyRage 1617]

The guy that beat him is fighting on the prelims, and not even the prelim headlining slot, Derek Brunson vs Dricus Du Plessis. Hopefully that means 285 is pretty sick lineup.

 

[NoDakHornsFan 13]

Anyone in Vegas this weekend?

[Scraps 13750]

I got JJ gassing out by rd 3

I think he gets the legs kicked out from under him. Reyes and Santos probably added tons of mileage to his engine. Hes a fucking sociopath but I do want to see him fight. 

[JohnnyRage 1617]

JJ ground n pound in the second.

[Stros121 3]

Anyone have a live feed? Thanks

Nice opening round to this women's bout.

 

Try this, but it did try to pop a couple of ads. It's on ESPN+ for two more fights.

Id eat Ribas ass

[JohnnyRage 1617]

Holy shit, nice!

 

[Blotto 23975]

jesus that was brutal.

[JohnnyRage 1617]

I expected him to talk some shit. That was pleasant.

[Hermanator 7570]

I've seen several Dricus Du Plessis fights and i don't remember a time where after I didn't say"damn that was entertaining. Really like watching this guy. If you missed that later tonight or tomorrow go find it online and watch. 

[ajax 2671]

Cody man. So talented but so gun shy due to his glass jaw.

[JohnnyRage 1617]

Well, I tried to buy it several times. Keep getting a blockage screen. Hope it didn't charge the account.

 

Thanks Dana

No sound for me as well.  So its likely not anything we can do.

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

We need a hero to come through with a link. Can't do this with no sound

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

I am good without sound.  Most of the commentary is lame as shit.  But nice to hear the crowd react.
