    I think Volk is better everywhere, foot work, strength, cardio, counters, jab, and ground and pound..And I think Topuria will get ground and pound ko'd..And then Max and Yair will beat him next..I do expect Topuria to fight his way back to the belt in a few years..Topuria didn't fight his way through the rankings, he was selected by the UFC for his marketability..He is highly talented but rushed..

    Topuria over extends and loads up way too often. Volk can capitalize on that. But the age difference also plays a factor. It's a hard fight to predict.

      21:00. Gaethje is also 35, and it's very strange that literally nobody is talking about his age. He is 3 years older than Max, and Max is only 32. According to statistics, there's about a 4% chance that Gaethje can win. Only 1 person out of 31 fights has won in a title fight, being 35 or over, at 170 pounds or less.
