I do agree with you that we need rematch Volk vs Islam, but I see now Islam is already asking for his next opponent, that means mother, Volk and retirement will have to wait

And Alexander Volkanovski seems to be serious about a rematch with Islam Makhachev, which he actually reports on his Twitter in response to the call of Islam, so perhaps we can expect this soon, judging by the number of views and likes of the Volk tweet.

Pound for pound means best per pound of weight basically. Remember, that Volk moved up, just because he lost doesn't actually make Islam the number one pound for pound. I would agree with the reasoning that Volk is still the pound for pound champ. He basically moved up, and nearly won. That's the very definition in my opinion.

Well I don't agree with that reasoning and nobody forced him to go division up, but same thing happened with Adesanya when he tried that and I think Adesanya is better fighter than Volkanovski pound for pound.
If UFC can make tricks like moving up Jon Jones in that ranking without any fights, than I can create my own Notblox ranking and put Khabib as still best pound for pound fighter in MMA

Quote from: Welsh on February 22, 2023, 02:31:23 PM

Obviously, to really cement things I think we'll need the rematch. It was just too close to call. I also, don't take Islam as much as a family man as Khabib. I might be wrong in that, but Khabib left at a time where he was dominant. I don't see Islam being quite as dominant at the moment. That could change, obviously.

We still dont know revenue numbers of UFC 284. Usually UFC like to share such information, but it looks like UFC 284 did not break any PPV records. The event could be very interesting and favoured for the fans, but not as profitable as UFC expected. I've seen that Islam and Alexander earned both one million US dollars. That is what usually what UFC champion earns for a fight. But that event did not set a record. This was a top event that did not bring top earnings for UFC imho. That is why I think that is one of the points why the rematch might not happen, as it might be not profitable.

Terrible pay when you compare it to boxing. Boxers earn 50+ million on the big fights and you cannot get any bigger then Islam vs Alexander. I wonder if the UFC will change their ways of paying fighters because other MMA organizations are starting to gain popularity and it is not a secret that they pay more then the ufc.

We would better not compare boxers and MMA fighters payment. Two sports are way to different. Get same audience to UFC, same sponsors, same history (UFC is to young, boxing championships appeared in ~1700, simply wait till MMA passes 300 years gap and see how much would fighters get). Boxers must be paid more, their sport is way more dangerous than MMA.

Jon Jones gave up his UFC title because of a pay dispute. Well, he wanted a lot but at the same time it's true when he says that UFC fighters are truly underpaid and some of them can't even afford rent. On another hand, business is changing. No one will pay you if you can't sell the show. Dana White said that being a good fighter doesn't give you more revenue but your ability to sell show, that's why Conor Mcgregor, Floyd Mayweather and some other make millions per fight.
To summarize, it's the business model of UFC and at the same time UFC is the only famous MMA promoter while boxing is old, popular and well-established in society.

Yeah... Blanchfield is a pretty good prospect and she's young. Just 23 years old. If somehow Shev retires from MMA, there's her, Santos, Andrade could still be in the mix as she took the match on short notice and the French girl Fiorot who's also pretty good. And there's the return of Tatiana Suarez this coming weekend. She'll be at 125 now so let's see how she looks in the cage.

Here's the Multi Master. I think my lottery ticket will not look the same as my MM picks.

UFC Fight Night 220 - Multi Master Challenge
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sportsbetio-ufc-fight-night-220-multi-master-challenge-saturday-5440587

And here's something to watch in preparation for the event.

UFC Free Fight: Krylov vs Gustaffson
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akdTb_pl_qo

I like to see a younger champion for the woman's division just Erin Blanchfield is just perfect for me I think she is champ material now, back then I never think of her as a threat to any in the top but after that fight with Jessica Andrade, pretty much it sums it up that she is the real deal her wrestling ability is something to be afraid off for newer opponent in that division, and life Shevchenko didn't retired soon this could be a great fight to watch but because of her young age and Shevchenko's age pretty much Erin Blanchfield could take the W,

Shev may be old but so far she hasn't shown any signs of slowing down. We'll see her back in the cage vs Grasso at IFC 285. Should be good as they're both strikers...

https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/bouts/726743-ufc-285-valentina-bullet-shevchenko-vs-alexa-grasso

But Shev does have a wrestling advantage if it comes to the clinch as I think she's physically stronger than Grasso. Shev has a hip throw.

Anyway here's another vid to watch before the event. Enjoy.

We don't know if Islam will do this, but in my opinion this is two different situation and Khabib is much better than both of this fighters, but we can only test this in virtual games now.
https://www.lowkickmma.com/islam-makhachev-mother-wants-him-retire/

Khabib follows theory, that a fighter can have a peak form only once. That was one of the reasons he retired from MMA. He felt that his form will start to go down so he decided to leave unbeaten. In the interviews he has mentioned that 32-33 is the peak age of a fighter. He has retired at 32, Islam is 31. I think he (or Abdulmanap) has inspired same theory to Makhachev. Khabib had 3 title defences, Islam only 1. I think we will see 2 more Islams fights, he will turn 32 and he will repeat Khabibs deed.

Basically, you are saying that the person who does more damage wins the fight. That is also incorrect. One elbow cut and you are a winner. If the damage dealt would be the meter to tell who is the winner, then everyone would only throw elbows and that is it.

As a challenger, Volkanovski must have done 200% of him to win that fight. That is how I see it. Did he do that? No. You have to perform persuasively to make vision for judges that you are the winner. In situation when champ and challenger shows equal skills, champ always remains champ.

It will surely depend if a fighter would get in more damage and more volume of punches he can will a decision if his opponent is not KO'ed or yes an elbow cut for a doctor stoppage, or a submission because sometimes if a cut was not deep the doctor will not call a stoppage, for me if it is a decision it will surely apply,

If a rematch would commence For Islam Makhachev against Alexander Volkanovski, and Khabib Nurmagomenodov is in the corner, this is pretty much an Islam Makhachev win, Nurmagomenodov's coaching and motivation are truly amazing for me Khabib Nurmagomenodov is just building differently in terms of coaching,

I notice that UFC categorizes the events in which on this particular fight night the fighters are often good at submitting thier opponents.
I'm looking to root for Nikita Krylov and Brendan Allen, I don't follow these two but they seem to be dominating in thier previous fights.
^ Tatiana Suarez it is. I guess

It's kind of difficult to figure out who would possibly win in Augusto Sakai vs. Don'Tale Mayes fight. I'm waiting for your list in fight night, maybe you guys can share now before the odds change for worse.

I think Krylov will win because he's better and well rounded rather than Spann. Both Muniz and Allen are actually similar, they're better in ground fight, but Allen is an underdog and the odds is quite high, so I'd go with Allen too since it's more worthy to bet him.

I don't have any idea why De La Rosa need to fight with Suarez, I'm sure Suarez will destory De La Rosa very easy because she have a clean record.

Sakai and Don'Tale, since it's a heavyweight division, I'm more convinced with Sakai because he has more power than Don'Tale.

I don't think Volkanovski was robbed per se, I just personally saw him winning, and there's definitely a case to be made. However, I wouldn't call it being robbed, since that would imply that Islam had no chance of winning whatsoever, but still won. I've seen a few of those types of fights mind you, but this fight wasn't convincing either way.

Yup and I'm fking surprised that she did really well in using her reach and outstriking Andade. I thought Andrade could use her powerrr and get some respect then corner Blachfield by the cage where Andrade could Taz her way to a W. Looks like the UFC match makers knew what they were doing when they made Blanchfield skip the line and gave her Santos then Andrade when it didn't pan out with Santos.

After that weight-in and face, Erin Blanchfield was taller than Jessica Andrade even though Andrade had that Physique that could likely make her struggle in attempting submissions or grappling Erin Blanchfield still manage to do it, and that Height of Blanchfield has proven she can win over a stand-up against Jessica Andrade, well no doubt that I will be very supportive with this young fighting kitty, and I want her all the way in being the champion, and I am looking forward in it,

Islam couldn't stand on his own, his face was brutally beaten while Volkanovski was as energetic as playful kid. If anything, this match was a draw!

I don't know if you are acting crazy or what but Volkanovski lost this fight against Islam, so he can't be the best pound for pound fighter, except in your and Dana White imagination.
Maybe I don't agree with everything judges are doing in UFC but I could never say that Volkanovski won that fight.
One more shit coming from UFC is that Jon Jones is moving up the rankings slowly, and guy was not in octagon for years since 2020, so all their ranking is one big bullshit.
I like MMA sports, but guys from UFC are looking like idiots with this.

My post was a little bit stubborn. I just say that Volkanovski was robbed and he should be the number one in UFC's rating cause he actually is. Hope you understand. Definitely their ranking system doesn't make sense. It's unexplainable why they move Jon Jones. UFC 285 will be in 5 March and probably they are promoting Jon Jones and creating a hype. To my mind, their ranking system is based on their marketing strategy and makes no actual sense.

I know it will happen, there will be bags of money that will be on the line so Dana White's eyes are in dollar mode once again.
If fans want it so bad, make it happen, PPV income will surely be flowing nonstop. Whatever they are doing, even if it's sad to say, it's working.

Definitely, Dana White is addicted to money. Definitely fans want rematch and also Volkanovski and Machachev, both confirmed that rematch is not a problem for them and they are ready for it. So, it's a big yes from Dana White.

In Russian, we have such a proverb - "you dont swing fists after the fight". It is done. Either you prove you are better and win, or stay silent, prepare more and prove that in other fight.

My vision of that story - this is all bs. Hooker cant just forget that first round tap. If Makhachev is guilty, that will be proved and he will get his punishment. If not USADA, then karma boomerang will hit him one day.

Was Volkanovski knocked out and claims that he won or what do you want to say. No one was better in this match, who was better, a person who couldn't stand and whose face was washed away? Come on man, we need rematch, then everyone's mouth will go silent.

Also, see their faces pre and post fight. This fight was definitely draw and that's why that man claims to be the best. The results were not fair! I don't understand why

Basically, you are saying that the person who does more damage wins the fight. That is also incorrect. One elbow cut and you are a winner. If the damage dealt would be the meter to tell who is the winner, then everyone would only throw elbows and that is it.

That's just how we see it often in this fighting competition because both of them have enough skills to beat each other and we have seen another upset again. I think she cannot handle her when the fight reaches the judge's decision and when he beat her via submission, it was all over against Andrade.

Blanchfield can take this experience to beat his next opponents and practice more to win in this kind of way to always ensure her victory.

I always knew that my girl will surely do it, seeing the JJ Aldrich, and Molly McCann fight, and after seeing those fights I knew that this is going to be an easy fight for Erin Blanchfield, because of the absurd control of Blanfield with positioning herself through her other fights a fast Kimura lock on McCann and the giving up of Aldrich back I surely know that Andrade can also give up her back faster than Aldrich, just like with Shevchenko fight Andrade have given her back but Shevchenko is not fast enough to get that Guillotine, so this is a clear win for Erin Blanchfield and even though Jessica Andrade wants a rematch I would still go with Blanchfield,

In Russian, we have such a proverb - "you dont swing fists after the fight". It is done. Either you prove you are better and win, or stay silent, prepare more and prove that in other fight.

My vision of that story - this is all bs. Hooker cant just forget that first round tap. If Makhachev is guilty, that will be proved and he will get his punishment. If not USADA, then karma boomerang will hit him one day.

Was Volkanovski knocked out and claims that he won or what do you want to say. No one was better in this match, who was better, a person who couldn't stand and whose face was washed away? Come on man, we need rematch, then everyone's mouth will go silent.

If you think you are the best, prove it with first attempt, but not after multiple tries.

Also, see their faces pre and post fight. This fight was definitely draw and that's why that man claims to be the best. The results were not fair! I don't understand why

When this two guys fight again in rematch I think odds will be very much different and Volkanovski will have bigger chance to win in my oppinion.
One thing I don't like with UFC is their shit rating, they still have Volkanovski to be best p4p fighter above Islam, that is totally stupid what they are doing.

Can't wait for the rematch but still there is no news around. They still have Volkanovski to be the bst p4p fighter because he actually is! And this match wasn't fair! Islam couldn't stand on his own, his face was brutally beaten while Volkanovski was as energetic as playful kid. If anything, this match was a draw!
