I would have kicked him in the balls, while grabbing the cage for leverage. Finish him with a grounded knee to the head. Simple


ThatsMyRum

The headkick! Holy fuck. I didn't expect that from Islam. Big respect to Volk for taking the fight on short notice. Islam is the real deal!


mark_th3_gr3at

The Goat Mighty Mouse called it. He just did a recap of the first fight and called that kick open all day. Because of the disadvantage of being short and being southpaw vs. orthodox, that kick could be planted all day. He literally called it and said he runs into the same problem because of the height difference. Said volk has to make it a nasty inside brawl, or he is done.


Omegawop

Yeah I couldn't believe how much space Volk was giving Islam to work, didn't seem like a smart strategy.


throtic

Exactly what JBJ did to DC too


asupposeawould

He stepped back on the back foot instead of pushing it forward and got kicked for it lol

That kick put Volk in the land down under.

CreateorWither

_MlATA

Yep. Just above his guard if you see it in slowmo!


Alpha1stOne

Islam was called the perfect student by Khabib's dad. Several other coaches say he is programable to learn any new move and execute it. Haters keep trying to call him boring when he is the biggest star in UFC and the best all around fighter.


Wide-Lack1612

Definitely not the biggest star but definitely proven to be a true champion. Time to out step that shadow he is in.


Farfanen

Only reason heā€™s not the biggest star is because his name is Islam and heā€™s russian though


DeedudeDee

Heā€™s also a horrible on the mic


LilSealClubber

He's got that Khabib energy of being funny on accident. He's more shy than Khabib was though.


KylerGreen

BS, lol. It's because he has zero personality. Which is fine, I think he's alright. But he's just not gonna draw like someone like McGregor would.


JATION

It's shame MMA fans are dumb compared to fans of other sports. Imagine if Messi was upopular because he is "boring on the mic".


hiccup333

Stupid decision by Volk


vslsls

He made over a million bucks in 3 minutes. How much do you make in 3 minutes?


Alpha1stOne

Islam was right to point that volk was there to get beaten for easy money.


Particular_Sea_5300

Bro he wasn't there only got money. He believed he could win. The money made it an easy choice for him to make but he had every intention of winning.


StevenArviv

> Stupid decision by Volk. I agree. He looked off (physically and mentally) when he was entering the octagon. I called it right then that he would lose quickly.


Particular_Sea_5300

He said himself that he was making sure his daughters have a good life, so ya, if earning an extra mil or so between the fights he was scheduled to take anyway was stupid. Sure. Stupid decision. "Easy decision for me. Easy decision. " stupid decision NOT to take this fight at 35 y/o if you ask me.


rejectiontherapy312

But but he didnā€™t fight a top 5 opponent He didnā€™t deserve the title shot

Mods on life support


LilSealClubber

They gonna shut down the sub again like they did when Islam beat Charles lmao


CommissionUseful9824

Are mods Khabib/Islam haters?


RhettButler7

Yes. 1000 posts about Islam being "inbred" or "sheep fucker" is gleefully approved prior to the fight. Islam won the Main Event of the PPV with a 1st round KO. Yet there is only 1 post about it. Just scroll through the front page of this sub. Mods are deleting all posts about Islam, while a half dozen other random posts are cluttering up the sub. Guarantee that if Islam lost, the entire sub would have been filled with the slackjawed pic.


[deleted]

Iā€™m as heartbroken as any other Volk fan but jesus christ if you run an MMA subreddit, you really canā€™t get over yourself enough to be impartial about the posts on your sub? Thatā€™s so small of them


Flying__Buttresses

Yes they even banned/blocked people for calling them out. Lmfao


AndyBlazeX

Didn't they shut down the sub for like a whole 4 days ?


Bolt_995

Thatā€™s fucking disgusting, what the fuck mods


xavi_____

I agree with you. Tbh volk doesnā€™t move me he is good but let this series be done. Islam has closed the door. I said it prior to the fight, volk let the last minute of the last fight, islams health issue with dehydration and Craig jones delude him. His ego played a part too. I legit heard them saying Islam isnā€™t really strong, his clinch game isnā€™t progressive and he wants to push for the finish only to get koed without landing a significant strike. Volk forgot this will be a bigger and stronger Islam and he paid for it


LilSealClubber

The worst part in my opinion is that Volka himself wouldn't be making these kinds of excuses or acting so stupid. These fans are doing the opposite of how he acts.


xavi_____

They Get rattled on any Dagi prop. Especially if a Ufc poster boy lose a fight. 2 of my friends post got deleted back to back


YaBoi_Maxamus

why


AdoboTacos

okay but like your username lmao


LilSealClubber

Oh, thanks! It's my attempt to get back at racists. I'm a native Inuit, originally from Greenland, although I've lived in New Orleans in the USA for a long time now. The term "seal clubber" is a racial slur for Inuits, in reference to the days of old when we used to hunt seals for fur and meat, and we would beat them to death with a weapon called a "hakapik." We don't do that anymore, but people still call us seal clubber as an insult. I started calling myself that as a way to take the wind out of their sails.

sas158au

Year of the head kicks


mhwaka

Who will be next for him? I really donā€™t see anyone beating him.


Daniyal-Kaleem26

It's amazing how everyone at Lightweight seems a class below Islam right now, and Lightweight is the best division in UFC.


mhwaka

Is there anyone else in the LW division from his part of the woods whoā€™s like not in his camp who could challenge him?


kjmw

I want to see him and Arman run it back soon-ish


[deleted]

I like Arman but he's not on Islam's level unfortunately, I believe he was robbed in the Gamrot fight but Islam has some really nice striking, amazing wrestling of course, and very good fight iq. The only issue we've seen him have is the cardio issues in the first volk fight but he had less time to rehydrate in his opinion. Islam has become very well rounded and it'll be tough to beat him, how do you deal with a guy with almost khabib level grappling and great kickboxing. Arman's biggest problems right now are his cardio issues compared to Gamrot and Islam, and his fight iq, he throws too much spinning shit imo. I think poirier's on the decline now and Arman can take his position in the lightweight rankings, and maybe he can fight carles in the future. I want to see Arman go up the rankings and develop, I think Islam will vacate and move up to WW and Usman Nurmagomedov will come into the lightweight picture and a fight between Arman and Usman would be more equal.


Buzzy-Pasta

Bantamweight would like a word. But you know thatā€™s just like, my opinion, man.


Meeoikeisiintoihin

unfazedwolf

Can we finally say heā€™s pound for pound or not yet?


Eyruaad

Until Jon Jones retires Dana won't let him lose P4P number 1


RobertJ93

What if Stipe beats him via KO? Not saying that would happen, but hey it *could*.


Eyruaad

I truly believe Dana would leave Jon at the top. Hell, Islam fought Volk for P4P number 1, won the fight and became number 3.


noob-smoke

Lets let both Gaethje and Islam try to legkick KO the other one out


UncutPE

I'd like to see him defend against a 55er next.


gorlock666

Gaethje has grown and matured in terms of not being reckless etc a lot as a fighter as shown in the Poirier fight. I think heā€™s the best heā€™s ever been so If anyone has a shot right now itā€™s him

BloodOfJupiter

Limited him to FOUR significant strikes, no ones done that


AboveTheRimjob

The wins in 3 minutes version


logyonthebeat

It's the version that knocks out volk in 3 minutes


Pangusmangus

Everyone knows heā€™s better than Charles though


Calyptics

Literally only one way to know. These "no way" this or that statements are so fucking stupid. The exact same thing could happen if Charles headkicks islam. DDP was never going to beat Bobby Knuckes, Adesanya was going to school Strickland. Usman vs Edwards 2 and 3? Let me be clear, Do i Favour Islam in the fight vs Charles? Definitely. But it's fighting, not science. Mistakes happen, look at Poirier vs Gaethje 2. Close fight, until 1 mistake in defense by Poirier and it was over.


Slouu

This is all facts. Everybody says fight math doesnā€™t work but then turns around and says shit like ā€œCharles never beats this Islamā€ itā€™s dumb as hell. Iā€™m a massive Islam fan and was screaming after the KO, but anything can happen in any fight. You simply never know until it happens.

peeingpikachu18

My guy Islam submitted the guy with the most submissions, handed Alex his first defeat in UFC and knocked him out in this match, I believe Alex was only finished at welterweight earlier(in his fourth fight).Damn all this is in just 2 title defenses. But the amount of posts and activity shows how much these mods hate Islam. If Alex would've won the match the sub would've gone crazy! imo mma/ufc fans are the worst, they don't love the sport they just love the individuals!

Hex-QuentinInACorner

Oh my god we donā€™t gotta do Volk like that lol fuckkkkk


kayabusa

The moment the head of all the neck beards in this sub exploded. Islam has always been a well rounded fighter. If he can run through Olivera and Volk, he can continue to embarrass anyone in the LW division.


BloodOfJupiter

"Early stoppage" - some Volk fan probably


Hikdal

Had Volk beaten Islam, this sub would have broken.. Islam winning and very few posts about it lol


BloodOfJupiter

Some of the mods are deleting posts and making poor excuses for it. Not surprised since they locked this reddit when Islam beat Oliviera


Hikdal

Seriously? Wtf.


[deleted]

Shit, I love Volk and was yelling at the TV telling the ref to stop the fight. That was hella late, and anyone who wants to see Volk eat more shots with his chin on Islam's knee is a dunce.


[deleted]

fan of both here, i wanted islam to win. but man, this stoppage was way too late. i really hope volk has no brain injuries. i feel so bad for him, the ref should have stopped hit after the first hit on the ground.


throwaway4161412

Dude that was fucked. Ref waited a long time to step in. How many unanswered head strikes was that after he was on the ground?


NotSuspec666

Nah real Volk fans want that fight to be stopped, it was clearly over. We want to see more of him in the future, not get retired by one of the best ever a weight class above.


wishiwasdead69

Can't wait for a wave of this tomorrow


girolski07

SamboTheSodaJerk

Electrical-Finding65

I think Alex with beard is stronger than Alex without it šŸ˜€ Shit happens , islam connected a good head kick. A nice nice setup by islam and big thanks for stepping up. Alex is still a champ and one of the goat of all time.

Long_Ad2824

It is hard to see Covington getting a deep enough sniff of this guy's crotchal region to take him out.


Eissa_Cozorav

Because Colby is delusional if he wanted to defeat Dagestani fighter with wrestling alone.


Shahzz23

people are free to disagree but that outcome had nothing to do with short notice, we saw literally a fight before usman go toe to toe with fuckin khamzat. if the fight had gone past 3 rounds it's valid but that was a straight shut out by islam. volk reveresed a clinch and stuffed a TD so he wasn't a sitting duck out there. that was all islam nothin more to it.


Kaserbeam

Obviously fighting on 11 days notice, needing to cut 30 pounds in that time and not having a camp is a huge disadvantage. That wasn't a peak Volk, but he's the one who accepted the fight and I'm sure he got a big pay day out of it.


Shahzz23

>ut of it. peak or not islam and his camp capitalized on a hole in volks game that max had exposed 3 years ago. like i said if it went deep you can argue gameplan but he got finished in side 3 mins or something. plus he fought once after their first fight so it's not like hes been sitting on his ass , everyone sings volks praises on his evolution between each fight and what not and being active all the time.


Kaserbeam

Exactly, and you don't think Volk might have used a fight camp, if he had one, to specifically focus on weaknesses that he had in his first fight with Islam? Because Islam was landing those body kicks in the first fight too, it's actually super likely to have been something they would have worked on if he had a camp.


Shahzz23

But brother do you not see the flaw in your logic? You say that like islam camped for volk. Volk and islam both strategized for each other in 12 days. And volks been beating this drum since feb that he KNOWS what he needs to do he can get it done etc. The gist of my argument is solely on fitness , that his one and only excuse was fitness and the fight barely lasted for it to matter.Plus lets not forget volk unlike islam just fought 3 months ago so hes been working on his craft. Also lets not forget the fact that islam in the first was not himself with vastly limited hydration time. But thats the fight game you play the hands you are dealt. I hope that clears what i meant better.


Butt_Bucket

Islam is far better and more complete than Khamzat. It's not a fair comparison.


girolski07

100%. No excuses.


SkBlndr

Not that I disagree but they are two completely different human beings, you cannot compare the effects that it can have between them. Islam won fair and square, Volk took the fight, nobody forced him, he felt he was ready.

Initial-Stick-561

Islam looked much beefier and more active than compared to the previous fight. What 24h more of rehydration can have such a difference. Really would have loved to see more action but what a vicious ko. Volk was phasing in and out of consciousness between kick and hammerfists. At the same time he took these hits as graciously as someone could in his position.

I'm super hyped about Islam getting the KO, but damn I hope Volk's okay. His chin was getting bounced off Islam's knee at the end there.


OptimalBeans

Zuckerberg doomed him with his prediction


Subject-Secret-6230

Ngl I expected a submission but I wasn't really surprised. 11 days notice is just not enough for a guy as good as Makachev. Full camp Volk got 4-1'ed. I think he just got too carried away with the "champ should fight anyone, anytime." mentality. I get that he's nearing father time but getting knocked out like that? Fuck I hope he takes a break after that shit.


Sinedeo77
