@StrawhatZack_@LMMA_03@mmagoat420 Allen’s also an overall better fighter than lopes. Allen schooled melq, was robbed by poovsar evloev, and can have close competitive rounds with Jean Silva on the feet. Diego looked bad on the feet against Jean, Volk and Evloev. lopes also lost to Brito and went 29/28 with Ige
@StrawhatZack_@LMMA_03@mmagoat420 He clearly fought smarter against Allen by not giving up his back by over swinging, and going for spinning back kicks. He didn’t force a firefight, and never gave allen a dominate position that fight.
@DrLoomis14@MMAUNCENSORED1 I guess it’s harder to see his muscle definition because of how pale he is. But he has a lot less definition compared to ilia who is jacked.
@anthonyjohnp12@TheSoggyBreadX@DovySimuMMA It was only fun because chimaev lost and Strickland was the underdog. Rounds 1-2 were boring. Rounds 3-5 were solid rounds on the feet
@qpe Pure skill yes but people confuse name value with skill too. They’ll say Anderson fought nobody’s but Jones has the best resume ever full of legends. That’s because the guys Jon beat were more often legends compared to Anderson Silvas wins
@Sintere7@SmeshTalk Only reason is because volk humiliated Islam. Outside of that he’s just beaten fun fighters and make the 145 title picture move so slowly
@GenX46622509@SmeshTalk Volk literally made lopes look boring. Regardless this fight sucks because the winner won’t fight for another 8-12 months because they’re so inactive
@Medkdkkddk@LMMA_03@mmagoat420 He beat Arnold Allen. I’d argue Arnold
Allen is a better fighter than anyone Volk has beaten since he fought max the third time.
@StrawhatZack_@LMMA_03@mmagoat420 Probably not. Jean does a very good job defending double legs and although lopes got 2 mat returns; the commentary was talking about how the takedowns lopes got came from weird exchanges where he threw the spinning kick or over-swung. He’ll fight smarter.
