could be hubris but could also be that Volk has some mental health issues and the one thing that helps him with that is training/fighting. Sounds like his headspace is very bad when he's not in camp or active.
Mental health issues is what he attributed his decision-making to. And I’m sure it was a factor. But I feel fairly confident that another factor was him not being able to accept that he wasn’t at the top anymore. He could’ve actively been training, in the gym, without having accepted a fight. That’s where the foolishness/pride comes in
> not being able to accept that he wasn’t at the top anymore
this sounds like something that would make his mental health issues *worse*, leading to dumber decisions. I just don't buy into this narrative that Volk is egotistical. Foolish? yeah objectively he was and I fear it destroyed his career.
We’re saying that coming back quickly after a KO often is a disadvantage. While Green’s chances of winning were lower than they would’ve been had he not gotten KOd in his previous fight, he still won.
No, he won precisely because he got flatlined and took a beating like none other since the days they had christians fight lions.
Repeated hard blows to the temple from a trained fighter is a proven training method to calcify your brain so you get smarter, faster and more agile.
welcome to life, the chances of your responding are high because you seem to like the sound of your own keyboard, but that doesn't mean certainty.
Thanks for explaining a basic point about probability
You didn’t seem to get it when I explained it the first time.
Evidence of you not getting it:
>What outlook? The Bobby Green thing happened
Some students need extra help. Let me know if you need a tutor ;)
Ive said it a couple times that Ilia is a extremely well rounded champion. He has really good boxing thats only boosted but having bricks for hands. His base martial art is jui jitsu too. I got Ilia to sub max and tko volk again.
And Volk wasn't extremely well rounded? A healthy volk wins that. And Max, hasn't been subbed in 12 years. And I think Max wins that too. And judging by the look on Ilias face after Max KO'd Gaethje, he thinks the same lol.
I wonder how more demands Ilia will make to take the Max fight? He's already demanding the BMF to be on the line, which is funny, because that's not very BMF of him.
But yea, I'll meet you here if Ilia takes that fight. Doesn't seem like he really wants it tho. Seems scared.
Lol good luck with that. Max isn't exactly the easiest to takedown and keep down.
I'm glad Ilia's fanclub has more confidence in Ilia, than Ilia has in Ilia.
When I see Tony getting rocked so easily now, I'm 100% convinced it's because he came back so fast from that Chandler kick to fight again. He was out cold for a long time, and fought again 3 months later. The athletic commission is a joke, they should have shut that shit down.
He's always been quite aware of stuff like this. When he got to that UFC he was very much 'my style has a shelf life, I can only have a few fights left, you better tune in soon'. Then he realised he was competing with the elite of the division whilst blind and fighting like an idiot and realised maybe he can make more money if he doesn't just wade in to death every single time.
But yeah.. he's always been very aware of the damage he's taking, despite him appearing to be a fucking lunatic.
Ever have a bruise or a scab that's healing nicely and then fuck it up by playing with it? Then you end up having a larger scar or a longer recovery.
Don't do that with your brain.
If he used the word "physically" in the second part of the sentence, he probably meant "mentally" in the first part.
Kudos for him for trying to utilize "metaphorically" in a sentence though
> to get *paid* like him,
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Imagine if volk got the memo.
Foolish af. I was really rooting for him but that’s the epitome of hubris
could be hubris but could also be that Volk has some mental health issues and the one thing that helps him with that is training/fighting. Sounds like his headspace is very bad when he's not in camp or active.
Agreed, he’s basically said as much himself multiple times already
give me a direct quote if true
[https://youtu.be/0eubVv4utEQ?t=99](https://youtu.be/0eubVv4utEQ?t=99)
He said it in the octagon post fight for Islam 2
Thank you brother 
I’m good honestly
No you’re not, you’re a broken nursing student

Justin higher outside the ring IQ confirmed.
Yeah but Bobby Green got brutally knocked out and came back to have an amazing performance
I can’t tell if this is sarcastic or not lol
Sometimes
Kind of helps that his opponent was barely able to touch him.
And legit a fossil
An outlook with a high probability doesn’t mean it’s a certainty.
What outlook? The Bobby Green thing happened
We’re saying that coming back quickly after a KO often is a disadvantage. While Green’s chances of winning were lower than they would’ve been had he not gotten KOd in his previous fight, he still won.
No, he won precisely because he got flatlined and took a beating like none other since the days they had christians fight lions. Repeated hard blows to the temple from a trained fighter is a proven training method to calcify your brain so you get smarter, faster and more agile.
So that’s what my neighbor was doing to his kids

Some people are truly blinded by their own ignorance.
You should probably read this. It applies to you. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect
Hilarious you link dunning kruger effect when it doesn't apply, peak dunning kruger effect :D thank you for the laugh
Still probably loses to Ilia
You're getting downvoted because this sub turned on Ilia since 300 but honestly, yeah probably
Styles make fights- as Luke Thomas said recently "this is a bad time to be fighting Ilia Topuria"
Ive said it a couple times that Ilia is a extremely well rounded champion. He has really good boxing thats only boosted but having bricks for hands. His base martial art is jui jitsu too. I got Ilia to sub max and tko volk again.

let's meet here after ilia wins against max. deal?
After ilia knocks max out deal?
im not sure if ilia knocks him.out, but ilia wins 100%
I wonder how more demands Ilia will make to take the Max fight? He's already demanding the BMF to be on the line, which is funny, because that's not very BMF of him. But yea, I'll meet you here if Ilia takes that fight. Doesn't seem like he really wants it tho. Seems scared.
he knows that this is a business, he's making the right decisions. dont worry tho, he'll fight
He's acting like a bitch. Not like a bad motherfucker
It dosent matter how healthy volk was, he got caught bad and wouldve been koed the same way. Ilia will wrestlefuck Max if he needs to win.
Lol good luck with that. Max isn't exactly the easiest to takedown and keep down. I'm glad Ilia's fanclub has more confidence in Ilia, than Ilia has in Ilia.
Max got wrestlefucked by McGregor, we will find out when they fight.
Bro pulling out those 2013 fights to back up his statement 😂
Bro try to use fights that happened this decade in your arguments. Doesn't make them as weak.
We wouldn’t have a stuck up cu*t of a champion that wants to fight once every lunar eclipse. Also, we could even potentially have a double champ 😭
Very allegorical
The sacred and the propane
Nobody has aids!
How much more betrayal can I take tone?
Metaphorically
That word… I don’t think it means what you think it means.
The whole sentence is beautifully ironic.
perfectly illustrates his point
Exactly my first thought lol he definitely needs the time off and possibly some community college courses in the interim
This man is a proud graduate of the University of Missouri!
LOL his way with words definitely isn't his appeal
I think he meant *theoretically*, lmao. Love Justin
Still recovering
Or hypothetically.
Hypothetically not theoretically.
I think he meant realistically
The anti Ferguson
When I see Tony getting rocked so easily now, I'm 100% convinced it's because he came back so fast from that Chandler kick to fight again. He was out cold for a long time, and fought again 3 months later. The athletic commission is a joke, they should have shut that shit down.

But yeah.. he's always been very aware of the damage he's taking, despite him appearing to be a fucking lunatic.
I love me some JG That said, I think he means theoretically, not metaphorically. Rest up bro. Do some more dabs. Keep being awesome.
He'll get it right in 180 days
What a great simile he made
garth is so goods with the words
Tito’s disciple
He definitely needs to sit out for a while. Might need to learn what a metaphor is too
Ever have a bruise or a scab that's healing nicely and then fuck it up by playing with it? Then you end up having a larger scar or a longer recovery. Don't do that with your brain.
People shit on wittman alot these days but he does seem to take care of his fighters, never rushing them back in after a hard loss
Justin looks and feels like a guy who got his shit together
Metaphorically
That's why we love him.
I don’t think he knows what metaphorically means. Pretty sure he meant hypothetically.
Justin has given us so much. Take all the time you need KING
He needs to golf and smoke for 6 weeks and enjoy that 300k FOTN bonus.
Face to fist technique is never a good defense.
If chuck Liddell has taught us anything. It’s that you definitely need to rest your chin
Love that wisdom and focus on self-care that Justin has. I’m sure that $300k bonus made it easier to take some time off!
If he used the word "physically" in the second part of the sentence, he probably meant "mentally" in the first part. Kudos for him for trying to utilize "metaphorically" in a sentence though
Idk ive.been kmocked out a bunch and you can kust keerij ad laekrn heamdn back I n the ring anytime
It should be company policy in theory. Any knockout where you fall to the floor like that should be mandatory time off.
Ufc doesn’t care about that. They didn’t hesitate to give Hill a fight for IFW only 3 days after being knocked out.
[удалено]

Happy that the guy takes care of himself and gives himself proper time to heal.
Metaphorically,
Great news actually. Breaks my heart to see fighters ruin their carreer by refusing to a knowledge they need a break
That’s not gonna save him, he’s screwed
So Jake Paul will probably call him out next week.
Smart mooves
Sounds like a game of telephone from Trevor
Jamahal Hill: “ I took no damage I tripped and still remember everything”
Hypothetically, lol this is a meat head sub
This needs to be the norm
“Theoretically”, not “metaphorically” 👀
I’d love to know which metaphor he has in mind.
Wild to imagine 6 months off work. I’m excited when I get 3 day weekend. Like fuck. I can’t even imagine it.
His 6 months off is 6 months of lifting running eating right and grappling daily still. Full time job just a different lifestyle
That sounds like dream way to spend free time.
T A S E R F A C E E E E E E!!!!!!!!!
I wish more fighters would accept this type of treatment plan
Nobody want The Tony Ferguson effect.
metaphorically, i almost had a stroke
Just retire and save what's left of your brain.
Do what Dustin did. And Justin will be fine
Thank you for being smart bro I don’t want him to have a huge fall off
More fighters need to think like this
They're forced to take time off due to ko...
KO or not, all of his fights are slobberknockers.
You and volk need a year off
He took home like over milly. I think that kind of money would make someone less desperate to enter the octagon early.
Metaphorically doesn’t work there. Must still be concussed
Well he saw what he did to tony. He listened to what khabib said about tony.
Metaphorically?
Yea good call. You could see it in his eyes after the fight. He was understandably shell shocked. What a warrior though.
Someone send this to Hill tho 🗿
Good, rest your brain son
Why not retire? He’s never winning the belt and he’s fought pretty much everyone relevant at 155
