@geekswuad2fxm@qjwnduiweiei@htelnmsk@ShaheerQuan@MmaSubzero17085 We're on two complete different sides for why we watch ufc. Lopes is a great entertainment fighter. The UFC is supposedly the pinnacle of MMA therefore that's what I come to expect frome those at the top. Lopes definitely has attibutes over Movsar now the Volk fight has passed.
@qjwnduiweiei@geekswuad2fxm@htelnmsk@ShaheerQuan@MmaSubzero17085 Movsar's durability was horrific, he did more damage in 1.5 rds then Lopes did in both fights but he couldn't take it back at all. Lopes being an all-time block head definitely played a bigger part than thought. Volks the FW goat for sure. He's timeless.
@yauser564@xxjp_x@BSmackemup@ChampRDS I've bet on Volk for every single one of his fights except Topuria, Islam 2 & Max 1. He's a legend. It's a tremendous ask of him to fight at an elite level unseen since 5 years ago. Against a younger, effective & well rounded elite level opponent like Movsar. Good luck
@xxjp_x@BSmackemup@ChampRDS That was four years ago and he's been knocked out twice. Dropped in each lopes fight (lopes who can't technical strike & got outboxed by steve garcia) now also 38. So you're basing your analysis on 4 years ago, now a regressing fighter, older & questionable durability. Good luck.
@Jirinrx@BsmntBreakdown@nikihuss209@Solvencyy Yan had a broken hand & a knee injury going into the fight. Yan was never in danger in the first fight the reason he lost was because he couldn't defend the takedowns & get going. Merab literally set a takedown record. Yan is levels & Merab's X factor is his tenacity.
@geekswuad2fxm@htelnmsk@ShaheerQuan@MmaSubzero17085 He looked pathetic in both volk fights and he was getting outboxed by steve garcia (lmao) dudes not even close to elite he's just a good fighter he's mediocre compared to other elite competition he's completely one dimensional
@htelnmsk@geekswuad2fxm@ShaheerQuan@MmaSubzero17085 Volk islam 1 was practically 4 years ago now and he looked like shit vs a mediocre fighter like Lopes twice. I think Volk is a legendary fighter but to have this much confidence in him at a worse state than when he fought Islam is illogical
@John56532395736 He's carried by his athleticism & reflexes. Even just in this clip here when he's out of position he bounces back into correct stance each time instead of resetting with his feet. He works hard to maintain his posture from his own over extensions & mis-steps with explosiveness
@TracePickFights Those props are amazing new york fanduel sucks ass they give us gutted props while giving every other state a full line up @FanDuelSports fuck you make new york mma better
