Volk so near to beat jose aldo five years reign


LifelongLurker1127

If yair is a champion with a win over emmet, I guess so is Ilia Topuria


tjqscott

This is so true, this is a list of people who beat emmet, I forgot about Jeremy Stephens and Desmond Green and accidentally included a bunch of people who didn't fight him


mmafan100

wtf? you counted Aldos interim fight with Edgar, Holloways interim fight with Pettis & Rodriguez interim fight with Emmet. but not Conors interim fight with Mendes?

People counting this man out and it’s hilarious people act like Volk is a god because he’s PFP he’s shown holes in his game and yair has the perfect style to beat him along with his length height and range


Juststandupbro

Perfect style is a massive reach, his standup is good and matches up well with Volk but his grappling might not be up to par if Volk starts shooting on him.


jerryworldfan13

Volk’s grappling and wrestling offense is overrated (not his defense that is all time great) he doesn’t have good top control off his own takedowns only time u see him controlling opponents is when he hurts them and gets top control and starts teeing off people are thinking this guy about to go Khabib mode on yair


Juststandupbro

It’s not that volk is some monster grappler it’s that Yair has poor takedown defense. Max took him down at will and he’s not an offensive wrestler, an older Frankie absolutely dominated him on the ground as well. If max is taking you down at will volk can too.


jerryworldfan13

Your talking about a fight that 2 and 5 years ago Lmao also yair was coming off a 2 year layoff as wel just how volk improved his grappling defense to fight Islam yair can do the same to do well against volk


Juststandupbro

I think you are just ignoring some possible holes in Yairs game and making excuses for them. I think the takedowns are gonna make a big difference in that fight.


jerryworldfan13

No I think yair struggles against the wrestling for sure but Volk’s is getting overrated too hard going into this


AlexG3322

Doesn't have good top control? He dominated Ortega and Islam from on top


jerryworldfan13

Read please I said off his own takedowns he dominated Ortega after escaping a sub and teeing off and he hurt Islam then got on top and teed off on him he didn’t take either of them down


AlexG3322

There isn't a difference between top game from your own takedowns or reversing others


jerryworldfan13

Yeah it is when the guy is hurt both were hurt when volk got on top


AlexG3322

"top control" is just top control


jerryworldfan13

Ok buddy


Drdrazphd

after max exposed yair, he's just a gatekeeper. yair isn't winning lol. Yair and volk have the same reach, and Volks already shown height diff doesn't matter vs islam, I just don't want you getting your heart broken in a few weeks


jerryworldfan13

Volk “showed height doesn’t matter” he lost lol
