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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

 

Thanks Dana
