Said Volk was always a bad match for Islam and he proved it.

I had it 3-2 for Islam simply bc he landed better shots minus 5th round and had control time. All in all, he did his thing.

Yeah

Islam spooned Volk for most of that round.

Only Volk could do was whack Islam on the head constantly which he did.

islam holding his back, and volk being unable to move or escape is the definition of control.

islam not being able to get the choke is due to other factors like volk's strength and movements. still islam controlled him. that's dagestan wrestling specialty.

he could have moved, he just didn't want to risk getting caught. Islam on the other hand didn't want to risk going for anything, WHILE getting punched in the face.

nah brah, that goes to volk.

.. that makes zero sense.

if volk could have moved/got up, he would have.

volk was stuck there and those punches did little damage

no, it makes perfect sense actually

why would volk risk moving and getting caught when he was doing perfectly fine in the position? did you miss the part where he was laughing while hitting his face and islam got frustrated?

so much control bro

He legit couldn’t get out because the fence was blocking his only escape path. He showboated to get the crowd riled up while the punches behind his head did no damage. There’s a reason why volk was convinced he was down on the scorecards going into the 5th and hunted the finish.

The only thing that worked out for him in that spot was his rnc defense.

You agree with me then, since under the new scoring criteria, damage is worth more than control time. Islam dealt zero damage in those hugging situations. Volk was teeing off on his head dealing more damage overall. Volk wins. Just terrible judging as per

Volk definitely lost that round under the current rules but I agree that this is how it should be scored. It would completely eradiate stalling (although it's nowhere near as bad as it used to be). You barely ever see any lay and praying these days because everyone is so much more well rounded. However, no matter the position, the person actively throwing strikes of any kind or attempting submissions should be seen as the winning side. Islam legit gave up seriously trying to find the choke with about 2 minutes left and just sat there with the body triangle while Volk was laughing and hitting him. Just because Islam had the dominant position (in grappling) shouldn't mean he automatically wins the round in MMA if he does absolutely nothing with it.

Volk landed more strikes, more significant strikes, and had the only knockdown.

Given current rules Islam won, but i'm not sure he really won the "fight".
checking the fight stats is dumb because it misses a lot of context

Islam landed the harder strikes overall in most of the rounds. The majority of Volk's strikes were either light or not significant at all. He won rounds 3 and 5.

Islam was clearly stalling in round 4 and not going for anything. I think in that case if the fighter is clearly not trying to advance position the ref should have stood them up. But how would you score that round? You can't really justify winning a round while being stuck in that position. And Volk's strikes weren't doing any damage. It was kind of a round where nobody was really doing anything but it was Volk stuck in that position in the first place.


I think it should just be up to the ref to stand that chit up if somebody is stalling for a minute plus.

I don't know why everyone is saying this is wrong. That's a common a theme in grappling, to escape positions sometimes you have to put yourself at risk, such as doing something other than defending the choke with your hands. And if you have a dominant position, you have to risk losing the position sometimes to get the sub.

not checking the fight stats is dumb.

understand there's a difference between using it as a piece of information, and using it to decide the fight.

in this context it's useful because some of the "knockdowns" you couldn't tell if they were slips or not. The fight stats go back and look and let you know. it's useful information.

i never said he could just get up to his feet like gringo quoted me as saying, i said he could have tried moving positions. The problem is it's risky, but you know what else is risky? Islam actually doing something with his position.

Also not sure why people keep saying those punches weren't doing any damage, try doing it against yourself and find out. Islam was trying to block them and even starting throwing them back at one point when alex started going crazy with them. Whatever damage they did is more than what Islam being beneath Alex did to him...

This wasnt a fight. This was a conversion attempt. Islam tried to convert Volk to Islam but Volk was able to withstand.

That one always cracks me up too. Internet nerds who've never been a fight or trained anything discussing how particular punches "weren't doing damage". I promise you that **** hurts and eventually the person on the receiving end of those would be swollen and bloody and bruised.

Lol volk was in far more danger in that position that islam was.

it's grappling, of course islam wasnt doing damage. the danger comes from the sub and position.

meanwhile volk was helpless and those punches werent doing much except annoy islam.

why didn't the ref stand them up? it's because you can't do that if one guy is in such a dominate advantageous position.

I thought Volk won but I was also biased and didn't watch some of the rounds as close as I should've

Great fight though and Volk's stock definitely went up. I think he's the better fighter regardless of the outcome

Can tell you've never been in a fight/sparred before. If a dude kept hitting you in the same place even from 9 inches away repeatedly you're going to get bruises and it's going to hurt. Try it yourself, stand with your back against the wall and swing your fist back over your head, now tell me that's not going to hurt someones face. Moron
