      He is calling Connor for exposure, it's pretty obvious. However, he is ready to defend his title against new challengers.
      Yair, Max or Ortega are out of question. This time only Movsar and Rematch makes the most sense. But the problem is that Movsar has 0 finish out of his 8 fights and Volk will need at least 6 month if not more to recover from this. Therefore, in the meantime, he can fight Connor for exposure and money. He is gonna be the next big thing, superstart of ufc soon if he fights Connor in Spain.

    Dude, every time the media start saying stuff like "this champ is the GOAT of x division" it always goes sideways. Same shit happened when they started comparing Izzy to Anderson and Kamaru to GSP. Just goes to show how hard it is to stay at the top for as long as some of the older champs have (Aldo, GSP, Anderson, etc.). Recency bias is a very real thing and invincibility is just an illusion. Every dominant champ's reign comes to an end eventually. I'm still in a bit of disbelief at how quick and abruptly that one ended.

    Volk is still a Champion.
    He carries himself with dignity, huge respect. Gutted for the loss.

    I dont understand why people were underestimating Ilia bro brutally tortured every single opponent he was put against and finished most of them in a scary fashion

      I’ve been a fan of both guys. I saw how Ilia went up in the UFC, but I didn’t think he would be able to impose his game so easily on Volk. The way he set up the finish was insane!

    Islam cracked that hard shell of Volk, Topuria shatters it completely for the finish. That's it, Volk is done.

      I think would have gotten KO’d too even if he took time off.
      Topuria has fucking power.
