Islam is going to run through the 55 division and Volk still beat him up.

Volk is the pfp #1.

They are probably more moderate than lots of the Middle East

But yes he’s a Russian, just because some one isn’t from western Russia doesn’t make them Russians

Lots of Russians don’t look European

Ummm.. Did you see his face after the fight?
yes. And Islam was never in any danger in the fight. He landed more strikes in almost every round, more significant strikes, a lot more ground control.

TBH, I'm surprised that at least one judge didn't give Volk 3 rounds because of how he ended the fight with the momentum. But, Islam clearly won 3 rounds fairly easily.

I had 3 and 5 as clear Volk rounds. That’s it though. I also don’t think Islam Won any round as convincing as Volk won 3 and 5, but I still thought he won 1,2, and 4.

Volk showed tonight what fighters should have done to Khabib during his run.

You try to bully the bully. Don't run from him and wait to get taken down. You instigate the clinch and take them down and they get mind fricked and don't Know what to do and lose confidence.

I hope Dariush can get to Islam and take the same game plan.

Ok

Is there any specific criteria or should I say recent changes/modifications for the judges to score the fights.

Sometimes I wonder if certain fight outcomes would be changed if there were either no rounds or the judges look at the fight collectively as they did in pride

that's easy to say. But, Volk figured out he was stronger than Islam and that he wasn't gonna get finished. And, he still lost knowing that.

Volk clearly won 2 rounds more convincingly than Islam won 3 rounds.

If this was just a point by point scoring, format, Volk probably would have won but he didn't in the boxing scoring format.

48-47 Islam to me, but I walk away twice as impressed by Volk. Incredible warrior.

JDM looks like a real threat at welterweight going forward. Wonder who will be next for him.

Yair vs. Volk is another very entertaining striking match to look forward to even though Volk has to be a heavy favorite.

Love Yair, but I just don’t see anyone coming close to Bolk at fewtherweight.

True, but that was GSP's game plan if the Khabib fight ever happened. He said as much last year after he said he would probably never fight again.

Islam just hugged him for a couple rounds without even advancing a finger and won the fight

Very true,

People forget how many different ethnicities were under communist rule.

Dagestan is in the caucus mountain range so their resemblance would be more similar to Georgians, Armenians etc. both of those countries have amazing grappling as well.
