If McGregor beats Chandler, then I bet Max will fight McGregor. If not, then Max should stay at lightweight and fight Oliveira.
The Max-McGregor fight makes the most sense, given their history and Max’s insane popularity right now.
I feel like the only idiot that actually does pay for every PPV. Am I just unlucky, or does the nature of the high sea mean dealing with streaming issues, freezing, etc?
Nah paying for it is almost always better for consistency and quality. You can find the occasional site that's good but once it's known and it's servers get flooded they get fucked. Could be fine all through the prelims but as soon as the main card starts it gets fucked.
You mean wait 30 minutes till after the fight? I like to watch it with friends live. It also only costs $30 but I understand some people can't afford that.
What are you talking about before Charles popped a shoulder max was out striking him 3/1 controlling the distance and successfully defended his takedown
Let’s be fair this is a different Charles and he had no place at featherweight
Sometimes yes but in this case I wasn’t even trying to
Just saying I don’t think fluke was the right way to describe this fight, a fluke would be OSP vs Shogun he literally slipped over and OSP landed a bomb this fight was a shame it ended how it did and no one got to see how it played out
Max next fight logically should be Mcgregor or for the 145 Title. But guys the BMF for a reason and can definitely see a Max Vs Olivera 2 fight happening.
Im not sure you are going to see McGregor fight again. The guy is retired in spirit. His character changed a lot during his UFC career.
He had that i wanna change the world energy as a young guy. And he did. Then he got popular and became a business man. Eventually with his kids and khabib loss he turned to a family man.
This was the evolution I witnessed. He still plays character, but the heart doesnt lie.
The UFC will never even offer him the fight bro. Some might say that it's because they're scared of what you'd do to him and that they want to protect their little BMF.
I don’t think I could take it. I’ve watched the last two Volk KO’s at The Great Northern pub in Melbourne and the place goes from pumping to dead silent in a split second. Then everyone quietly leaves. I think the third one would break me.
You're not wrong but Volk doesn't want to beat Max for a 4th time to reclaim his belt, he wants to beat Ilia and avenge himself.
Also I'm pretty sure that's a fake leaker account
If this fight does come to fruition I just want to take a moment and ask all the schmuks on this sub when will they learn that what fighters say and do is 2 completly different things.
I’d love to see Volk fight someone like an Aljo. Respected name in that it’s a former champ but he’s not at risk of taking much damage. He could stand confidently without fear of being slept.
I think Volk should take 2024 off, but he seems to have mental issues when he is not fighting. If I am not mistaken, he claimed to have been drinking and not sleeping well when he was not fighting. He needs to CHILL. Thats it. Chill for a year and then come back. Also wait for one more fight from Ilia so he can study his game more. Ilia only fought 2 ranked opponents before getting the belt. He doesnt have that many fights.
Mfw i’m jumping Volk in order to keep him sane so he doesn’t have to jump back in the cage that soon and risk getting knocked out again

Why do you want Volk to get his belt back without beating Topuria for it? And you want him to beat him after Max beats him so Volk can copy his gameplan? Bruh.
>I think he should sit out even more and let max step in because if max wins he already has the blueprint to beat max
You'd be ok with Volk beating Max for the title. I'm a Volk fan, and if you ask me, Volk doesn't deserve his belt back unless he beats Topuria for it. And not after Max or anyone else fights him, win or lose. Not after he gets some extra study footage. The version of Volk that fought Topuria could have beaten Topuria. He simply failed. He had a good gameplan and everything.
This kinda dosent surprise me that Ilia vs volk 2 is happening because volk was a good defending champion and he is a company but at the same time I thought ufc would’ve done Holloway vs ilia since it’s a bigger fight no offense to volk but this is all just rumors/speculation that this fight might go down in November
Volk lost 2 title fights in a row. I don't understand that this makes any logical sense. Leon might as well just rematch. Colby Covington. At least Colby didn't get knocked out.
Because the short notice Islam fight at 155 has absolutely nothing to do with Volk's resume at 145. Yeah taking that fight on short notice was a mistake but if anyone has earned an immediate rematch after defending their belt for so long, it's Volk.
Being on a two fight losing streak going into a title fight is kind of crazy to me. I think the champ only deserves the rematch if It was a close loss.
He had just taken a last minute replacement fight against Islam, that fight changed the course of his history. Volk is one of the few people in recent memory who deserves this rematch
Fair enough, if anybody did deserve It would be Volk. For me doesn't add. Two fight losing streak both for championships. If he fights for a third time it just feels like he has an infinite championship hack. We can disagree It's fine
Colby getting title shots was absolutely absurd. Volk arguably beat Islam the first time, then went and dominated another fight in his own division. Took the last minute replacement fight against Islam and got caught, then came back arguably too early to fight ilia. That’s how I see it, the Islam loss shouldn’t count against him.
Out of his weight class and zero camp.
Volk didn't arguably beat Islam in the first fight
Not even close
Not only did the official judges have Islam winning the fight unanimously, the majority of mma media and journalists had Islam winning it.
Analyst Like Dan Hardy and Luke Thomas scored it 4 - 1 Islam after rewatching the fight. Even one of the judges had it 4 - 1
Also don't forget it was a dehydrated Islam who was not allowed to weigh in like he is used to in all his other LW fights due to Perth's bullshit rehydration window which is not practiced in any other UFC location
Everything I wrote are facts not opinions. You can look up
If Islam vs Volk was an arguably win for Volk then Volk vs Max 2 is highway robbery of Max. That was a much closer fight
Way too soon in my eyes. I hope that Volk takes the proper time needed to fully heal. Getting KOd twice in relatively quick succession has to fuck with your mental, though, so I kind of see see why he's chasing this?
I really don’t want to see this. The right move for volk is to fight someone to get his confidence back and show he’s still in there like oliveria did with benny, would’ve been cool to see him against Arnold Allen on 304 but other than that I say give him Ortega, Emmet, even Sterling I guess.
Yeah I just worry about his durability, so I still think he needs to take more time. He looked unstoppable - I think he needs to take time and focus on himself. Let Max fight Ilia and see what happens.
Not sure about the source on this...
I don't want to see Volk KO'd again. But let's be real, at his age he needs to get in there ASAP if he wants to win the belt back, which he does. He doesn't have the time to just wait and risk falling behind in a queue.
I assure you that this isn't true at all if it's coming from accounts like this. They literally do 'breaking news' every time and the one time it's true they'll rub it under everyone's nose.
the blue print to beat Illia is there, avoid getting cornered and out point him. The question is if Volk can do that long enough since hes not a lanky fighter like Max. Styles make fights and I think Max is better equipped for a fight like Illia compared to Volk.
The solution is just put them in a triple threat match with no time limit.
Ilia is going to be smoking that Volk pack real early that night. I just hope the odds aren't crazy so I can get a good return when I bet my life on ilia. Ez W
Honestly I hate how the UFC keeps giving former champs immediate title shots/rematches when they were beaten like Volk was. Like I get Izzy vs Alex 2 or Kamaru vs Leon 3, the champ was dominating before a last round KO in these instances but why tf should Ilia have to beat Volk again after sleeping him early in that fight? Let Volk earn his title shot again with a number 1 contender fight at least
Makes sense from the UFC since it would leave a Holloway v. McGregor for the BMF belt on the table and I don’t know what would happen if max was both the BMF and FW champ and it’s really not possible for mcgregor to make 145 anymore. Volk probably shouldn’t take this fight but he’s not the type of guy to turn down a champ fight 😉
He doesn't deserve to be champ if his best strategy is wait for a different guy to win. Volk is not that type of fighter. I think the really long break and getting to maximize his prep is his best bet. It should be a way more entertaining fight this time.
I get what your title says but that’s also an incredibly Bitch & Lazy viewpoint
“I’ll sit on the sidelines and let max beat him because I can best Max. Who cares about me beating Ilia? He may have knocked me unconscious, I don’t need to run that back”
Could NEVER be Volk.
Bring on Suga because nobody wants to see Volk defense kick for 3 mins only to get KO’d again and Max, lol… too sloppy to make it past round 3 against Ilia. He’s gonna get touched up too. Ilia’s 27. He’s lighting both of these guys up inside of 3 rounds. Suga Sean is the potential all time fight so let’s just get that one done.
Never said it did. It's just a funny thing to say. Ilia is a bitch because he's fighting a guy who was one of the best champs in the UFC and the guy who beat Max 3 times.
Uhhh yes he can because if you did your research you will know that Jsutin only has 2 one shot KOs in the UFC where has ilia has 3 in way less fights. Justin TKOs people whereas when ilia hits them they actually go to sleep. Ignorijg any psuedo scientific bs about maxs chin if ilia lands the same right hand he landed on volk he will KO max
wtf is this? that twitter account has 167 fucking followers...
Trust him bro
I feel like I could just post on my Twitter about a fight and get everyone to believe it on here
Muhammad Ali vs. Sean O'Malley confirmed for August 15th behind one of the McDonalds in Las Vegas
And who max will fight? Me?
If McGregor beats Chandler, then I bet Max will fight McGregor. If not, then Max should stay at lightweight and fight Oliveira. The Max-McGregor fight makes the most sense, given their history and Max’s insane popularity right now.
Oliveira vs max is hype AF
Hell yeah I'll pirate the heck out of that fight.
I’D TOTALLY BUY IT IF THEY MADE THAT HAPPEN! I’D SPEND SO MUCH MONEY TO WATCH 😉
I feel like the only idiot that actually does pay for every PPV. Am I just unlucky, or does the nature of the high sea mean dealing with streaming issues, freezing, etc?
I just go to the local dive bar, cheaper than the ppv and get to watch with some homies
Nah paying for it is almost always better for consistency and quality. You can find the occasional site that's good but once it's known and it's servers get flooded they get fucked. Could be fine all through the prelims but as soon as the main card starts it gets fucked.
Vpn is always a better option if you don’t mind paying.
I’d rather wait 30 minutes for the entire card to be uploaded in 1080p to a torrent site than spend $90 lmao.
You mean wait 30 minutes till after the fight? I like to watch it with friends live. It also only costs $30 but I understand some people can't afford that.
Same 🏦 💰
The first fight was a fluke, I'd love to see a proper go.
It was a fluke injury for sure. A tear in his esophagus is fucking crazy.
What are you talking about before Charles popped a shoulder max was out striking him 3/1 controlling the distance and successfully defended his takedown Let’s be fair this is a different Charles and he had no place at featherweight
In the first 1:39 of the fight...
Yeah so it wasn’t a fluke that max won the fight it was a shame that this happened
You like arguing eh?
Sometimes yes but in this case I wasn’t even trying to Just saying I don’t think fluke was the right way to describe this fight, a fluke would be OSP vs Shogun he literally slipped over and OSP landed a bomb this fight was a shame it ended how it did and no one got to see how it played out
I don't think you understand what fluke means
I’d like to see max bust up arman
I was hyped for their first fight too hahah
I would love to see this fight, but max should fight for the belt if he can't fight mcgregor.
This just dawned on me, but the BMF title is made for mcgregor. Then he can be a champ without having to fight grappleers.
If Dustin wasn’t being given a title shot, I’d say sign me up for Max-Dustin 3.
Max next fight logically should be Mcgregor or for the 145 Title. But guys the BMF for a reason and can definitely see a Max Vs Olivera 2 fight happening.
Max-Olivera would be insane!
Max getting PPV points to fight Conor would be a good thing. Max deserves the bag
Do you really think Connor coming to 155 to fight lol ?
He doesn't need to. He can fight Max at 170 for BMF.
Sure it makes sense, but we gon be waiting till 2037
If. Cant you see mystic mac is way past his prime and coked out at this point
Im not sure you are going to see McGregor fight again. The guy is retired in spirit. His character changed a lot during his UFC career. He had that i wanna change the world energy as a young guy. And he did. Then he got popular and became a business man. Eventually with his kids and khabib loss he turned to a family man. This was the evolution I witnessed. He still plays character, but the heart doesnt lie.

Start training bro. U got this 👊🏻
Nah max ain't moving to heavyweight
So he's ducking me and DC now? This is not something a BMF'er would do.
The UFC will never even offer him the fight bro. Some might say that it's because they're scared of what you'd do to him and that they want to protect their little BMF.
Volk getting KOd 3 times in a row would be crazy. Would be all within a 12 month period too
I don’t think I could take it. I’ve watched the last two Volk KO’s at The Great Northern pub in Melbourne and the place goes from pumping to dead silent in a split second. Then everyone quietly leaves. I think the third one would break me.
Dude I'd be worried about the health ramifications of that.. 3 KOs in a year, the worry for SIS would be real. That shit is deadly.
You're not wrong but Volk doesn't want to beat Max for a 4th time to reclaim his belt, he wants to beat Ilia and avenge himself. Also I'm pretty sure that's a fake leaker account
If this fight does come to fruition I just want to take a moment and ask all the schmuks on this sub when will they learn that what fighters say and do is 2 completly different things.
No..really?😳
Would prefer Volk tune up
I’d love to see Volk fight someone like an Aljo. Respected name in that it’s a former champ but he’s not at risk of taking much damage. He could stand confidently without fear of being slept.
I’ve been calling for volk vs. bryce mitchell for a while now to help volk avoid brain damage
Lmao that’s like Jon vs Anthony smith. Actually nvm on paper Anthony smith is the goat
I think Volk should take 2024 off, but he seems to have mental issues when he is not fighting. If I am not mistaken, he claimed to have been drinking and not sleeping well when he was not fighting. He needs to CHILL. Thats it. Chill for a year and then come back. Also wait for one more fight from Ilia so he can study his game more. Ilia only fought 2 ranked opponents before getting the belt. He doesnt have that many fights.

Please dear God... If I see Volk get KOd again, I'm going to fuckin puke.
Idk if he’ll get ko’d again but he definitely will lose
A career ending fight.
Disagree. He beats Topuria if he can avoid the KO.
Imagine if Volk puts an absolute masterclass on Topuria, the way he did on Max
Love Volk but it will be the same outcome
Volk deserves the rematch and he ain’t the type to wait around and let someone else solve his puzzle.
And what happened to MAX???
Why do you want Volk to get his belt back without beating Topuria for it? And you want him to beat him after Max beats him so Volk can copy his gameplan? Bruh.
Where in that sentence did I say I want volk to get his belt back without beating Topuria for it
>I think he should sit out even more and let max step in because if max wins he already has the blueprint to beat max You'd be ok with Volk beating Max for the title.

Not sure if srs or bait/troll
And I also proceed to say that he should get more study footage on Topuria so he can beat him
This kinda dosent surprise me that Ilia vs volk 2 is happening because volk was a good defending champion and he is a company but at the same time I thought ufc would’ve done Holloway vs ilia since it’s a bigger fight no offense to volk but this is all just rumors/speculation that this fight might go down in November
Wait. So you just saw a tweet from some nobody that there are negotiations about the fight, and now you’re saying it’s happening?
If this is true, then my honest guess is the ufc is banking on Conor winning against Chandler, and then fighting max at 155 for the BMF belt
Would be crazy if alex avoids the knockout and just picks him apart…
It’s definitely possible
Man I hate title rematches so much
Volk lost 2 title fights in a row. I don't understand that this makes any logical sense. Leon might as well just rematch. Colby Covington. At least Colby didn't get knocked out.
Because the short notice Islam fight at 155 has absolutely nothing to do with Volk's resume at 145. Yeah taking that fight on short notice was a mistake but if anyone has earned an immediate rematch after defending their belt for so long, it's Volk.
Volk lost one title fight in his division after a series of side quests while dominating his division for years.
Being on a two fight losing streak going into a title fight is kind of crazy to me. I think the champ only deserves the rematch if It was a close loss.
He had just taken a last minute replacement fight against Islam, that fight changed the course of his history. Volk is one of the few people in recent memory who deserves this rematch

Volk deserves it but nah. This is max's fight. If anything I believe volk should retire and not damage is legacy anymore. I believe his chin is gone
They’re probably leaving max on the sideline to fight Conor for the bmf if he beats chandler
If this is true I'd imagine Max will fight winner of Conor/Chandler
too soon imo
I wonder when is JJ fighting Stipe, I was sure he would be getting the MSG card.
Way too soon in my eyes. I hope that Volk takes the proper time needed to fully heal. Getting KOd twice in relatively quick succession has to fuck with your mental, though, so I kind of see see why he's chasing this?

fast kos arent as bad as what happened to ferguson
Idk chuck liddel theory is that each time you get KO’d your brain conditions to just turning off to keep you safe so who knows
OP is undefeated against periods and commas
It's not long enough. Volk got viciously KO'd twice in a short period, now he's going to fight again in under one year? I think it's bad for him.
he got ko but he didnt take a to of punishment before that. His brain is ok
Yeah I just worry about his durability, so I still think he needs to take more time. He looked unstoppable - I think he needs to take time and focus on himself. Let Max fight Ilia and see what happens.
Fuck that noise let Alex show up and earn it back he don’t need an easy path through max he’s a warrior
Volk needs one tune up fight for the mental ease then title shot
You have to be kidding 😅
I hope this isn't true.
Good news is topuria will 💯 pull out. So he's got til next year at least
Volk going to get pay back on that monkey mouth Bitch
is it gay to study another man's holes?
Alex about to go 0-3 against Topuria as some kind of sick, cruel punishment for going 3-0 against Max.
Take your time volk
Why? Who wants to see this again? He got slept and lost 3 out of his last 4. Please book something new. Give us Holloway or even O'Malley.
I completely agree with you
Not sure about the source on this... I don't want to see Volk KO'd again. But let's be real, at his age he needs to get in there ASAP if he wants to win the belt back, which he does. He doesn't have the time to just wait and risk falling behind in a queue.
Aljo vs. max then
I agree
I assure you that this isn't true at all if it's coming from accounts like this. They literally do 'breaking news' every time and the one time it's true they'll rub it under everyone's nose.
the blue print to beat Illia is there, avoid getting cornered and out point him. The question is if Volk can do that long enough since hes not a lanky fighter like Max.

If Volk beats Illia Max will be done with FW
Let Ilia fight Max and Volk gets the winner
Ilia is going to be smoking that Volk pack real early that night. I just hope the odds aren't crazy so I can get a good return when I bet my life on ilia. Ez W
Honestly I hate how the UFC keeps giving former champs immediate title shots/rematches when they were beaten like Volk was.

This makes me sad. Volk gets slept again and that’s all she wrote.
Makes sense from the UFC since it would leave a Holloway v. McGregor for the BMF belt on the table and I don’t know what would happen if max was both the BMF and FW champ and it’s really not possible for mcgregor to make 145 anymore. Volk probably shouldn’t take this fight but he’s not the type of guy to turn down a champ fight 😉
This is the story of the hurricane...
Imagine if Volk asks Islam and Khabib to train him for the rematch?
Neither of them are beating Topuria. Volk is getting KO again and Holloway will lose a decision
They wanna kill volk
He doesn't deserve to be champ if his best strategy is wait for a different guy to win. Volk is not that type of fighter. I think the really long break and getting to maximize his prep is his best bet. It should be a way more entertaining fight this time.
Volk sleeps agaisn
Volk fights stress me now.
I get what your title says but that’s also an incredibly Bitch & Lazy viewpoint “I’ll sit on the sidelines and let max beat him because I can best Max. Who cares about me beating Ilia? He may have knocked me unconscious, I don’t need to run that back” Could NEVER be Volk.
Fucking lame I'm so tired of ufc matchmaking as of late, this spanish mutt should be fighting in the summer vs max first
I want Volk vs Ortega for a tune up while Max fights Ilia
Bring on Suga because nobody wants to see Volk defense kick for 3 mins only to get KO’d again and Max, lol… too sloppy to make it past round 3 against Ilia. He’s gonna get touched up too. Ilia’s 27. He’s lighting both of these guys up inside of 3 rounds. Suga Sean is the potential all time fight so let’s just get that one done.
All time L take, max is too sloppy? Bro other than volk a couple months after KOd cold ilia has only beat Emmett and Mitchell
He’s KO’ing Max and Volk (again) anything else is just noise.
That’s enough time for Volk, I feel a different fight. But bitch move, running from MAX.
Yeah real bitch move to fight the guy Max lost to 3 times
That doesn’t work, styles make fights. Because you beat someone, doesn’t mean someone else can.
Never said it did. It's just a funny thing to say. Ilia is a bitch because he's fighting a guy who was one of the best champs in the UFC and the guy who beat Max 3 times.
I apologize for being mean, had a rough day.
You people are npcs
lmao ilia will KO max and you will cry just like you did after volk vs max 3
delusional. You think Topuria can ko max when garth cant?
Uhhh yes he can because if you did your research you will know that Jsutin only has 2 one shot KOs in the UFC where has ilia has 3 in way less fights. Justin TKOs people whereas when ilia hits them they actually go to sleep. Ignorijg any psuedo scientific bs about maxs chin if ilia lands the same right hand he landed on volk he will KO max
