He's just so good.

"He got me,” Yair said of Volkanovski's knockout over him. "That fucking Volk boomed me." Yair added, “He’s so good,” repeating it four times.

That finishing instinct & sequence was awesome to watch

It feels like age or a higher weight class is the only thing that's going to stop this guy. Hope he makes the Ilia Topuria before going up to challenge Islam again.

Unfortunately not close at all. Volk is just too strong and too good

Goddamn he’s a beast.

Can we please stop calling Aldo the greatest 145r ever?

I've always been a huge Aldo fan, but you're right.

I hope eventually he begins to get the respect he deserves in that conversation, and hope it's not until after he's gone.

What a fight. Volk is the best, no doubt about it.

His ground and pound to finish was so clean

[–] Diglett983@lemmy.pt 2 points 2 years ago

Masterclass, Yair didn't have nothing for him

[–] gapbetweenus@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

How good is Islam?
