UFC 290 On ESPN+ PPV [7/8 at 10 pm ET] “International Fight Week: Continents Collide” (Volkanovski/Rodriguez, Moreno/Pantoja II)

[Grand Master Scotty]

It’s always when you least expect a dominant champ to lose that it happens.

Dillashaw, Grasso, Weidman, Edwards, & Werdum were not expected to end Barao, Shevchenko, Silva, Usman, & Fedor’s runs, but once again it happened.

I remember when people were comparing Woodley to GSP, then he got neutralized by Usman and that thought became laughable after a single loss.

I’m a big fan of Volk, I just get tired of the hyperbole in MMA sometimes. Every other title fight features that divisions GOAT according to the commentary team

Usually most champs who lose after years of domination usually show signs that their slipping and weakness

Dudes like khabib and mighty mouse and now volk seem to have no real weakness and it feels/felt like

I agree on the ufc commentary tho they always make everyone invincible that's the same thing WWE does and it's play fighting

I want to make a case for Topuria, kid is super well rounded but feel like Volk beats him.

Volk got that experience and that has tank. Only thing that worries me.

We saw what 5 rounds did to Islam he survived that fight. Them championship rounds hit different. Topuria doesn't have that experience yet.

Age is the only thing that may screw these fighters. I'd throw Nunes in there too though her division didn't really have anyone to stop her when she retired.

Alexa’s bad ass is next

Its just now dawning on me how cursed these type of photos end up being.

Death comes in threes.

How come Adelaide Byrd still get to judge fights ?

Las Vegas commission stay loyal to the dodgy judges no one likes.

Wouldn't be surprised if they had off shore bank accounts under fake names

 

[puppetmaster]

Volk might as well make 155 his home.

He’s Jon Jones’d the 145 division pretty much


Topuria could be interesting for a round or two but I see Volk eventually drowning him too

This is idiot is doubling down on his foolishness

This is idiot is doubling down on his foolishness

That shyt was wild uncomfortable. Was he trying to bait Plessis into saying it as well since he said he's the only real African?

Izzy was mad as fukk.

 

[QBN]

DDP is right. Izzy coming across as an unhinged lunatic, that shyt was embarassing.
