    Just watched the fight there, Volk’s stamina is the best I’ve ever seen, unreal how he kept going. Islam shaded it but want to see a rematch, reckon we could see both fight even better in a 2nd fight.

    It was razor close IMO, there’s an argument Volk won the fight. I think he probably realises now he left it maybe a wee bit too late. He finished by far the stronger and if he had even another couple mins never mind another round he would have finished the fight by GNP.

    What a fight though, when 2 proper elite fighters go at it like that it becomes a grinding war of attrition.

    It's strange cause I feel like islam won the fight 3-2 but I feel that volk might be the better fighter and done enough to retain his No1 p4p spot, also he was giving away alot of size compared to Islam.

    It was just wild seeing this thought to be almost invincible dagestani wrester similar to khabib on his back getting lit up from volk.

    Genuine psychopath. I missed most of his early fights, but one of his post fight interviews - might have been Santos or Reyes, he was banging on about Jesus and I thought, that is like a snake in a human skin. Nothing he is saying has any sincerity whatsoever.

    Later I saw the Daniel Cormier video when the live feed "cuts" and after his choir boy interview, he says, 'you still there *? I'm going to kill you'. * being anywhere near that *.

    That’s when DC said he wished they would let him in with Jones so he could spit in his face. Jones pauses and said he’d kill him if he did that, not fight him. Kill him.

    I think that was planned to be filmed, not what was said but that extra interaction. Unreal build for a fight. Jones is a master at mind games.

    I've read that the Jones vs Gane fight will start about 6 am.

    * staying up, might set an alarm though. I think it will be a war. Can't see past Jones though. He's different class. No right in the heed, but tremendous fighter.

    Just so easy it’s actually terrifying.

    Don’t think a Stipe fight goes any different. Maybe 5 years ago but not now.

    Woke up for a pish about 10 to 6 this morning, thought I might as well sit and watch it.

    * submitted him within 2 minutes haha.

    I think Jones leathers Ngannou as well. Don't see anybody stopping Jones before he retires.

    He definitely beats Ngannou. Francis knows that, that’s why he’s not in the UFC anymore.

    Stipe is the only fight to make.

    Pavlovich is a couple fights off. Aspinall is further away. They are both younger prospects who might improve enough. Everyone else has no chance.

    Insane how easy he made that look. I hate that he is maybe seen as a role model, but there is no denying the incredible ability to just slice through the competition. Saying that, Gane's takedown defence was abysmal.
