If Robert hadn’t been KOed, this would have been one of my favourite cards ever. Alas, I’ll go to sleep crying.

Goodnight to all of you.

Time heals my friend. I just hope he can get another chance at the title in the future.

Was a great night watching along with you guys. Until next time. Be well.

Cromer,

DC is talking about Thomas Almeida, isn't he?

westingham,

Apparently it was Jimmy Rivera.

UndeadLeech,

Really happy to see an active live discussion thread for MMA on the fediverse. Thanks to everyone for participating.

didn't realize that volk was cut in two different places.

Volk is unreal. Lands one super clean shot and it’s over. It looked like Yair was starting to get loose too.

jscummy,

Everything he does is just so crisp and perfectly timed. There was almost no time in that fight where he wasn’t in control, which is crazy with a fighter as unpredictable as Yair

Pluto_Is_A_Planet,

Really no one left for Volk.

Cromer,

Makhachev Vs Volkanovski 2 incoming

Pluto_Is_A_Planet,
