GDT: UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Volkov

[I am not exposed]

Edgar still down

 

[m9]

What an insane knockout, as clean as you'll see. And at the top of one of the deepest divisions around right now against a guy tough as hell.

 

[Chaels Arms]

Shades of Masvidal v. Askren.

 

[Perennial]

I had no prediction heading into it, but as the fight was beginning and seeing the size difference between them, I was going to predict a 1st rd KO by head kick for Sandhagen... but I was still typing a post about Guida which I will post shortly

 

[I am not exposed]

Sandhagen going to get the winner of Yan vs. Sterling (I know Sterling beat him recently, but still).

 

[Muston Atthews]

sandhagen is shook at that knock out

 

[Chaels Arms]

That was like the touch of death. Edgar's head slammed the mat on the way down.

 

[Moncherry]

Shades of Masvidal v. Askren.

It was better than Masvidal's.

 

[CDJ]

Well uh holy shit

 

[bov]

Well, shit

 

[Chaels Arms]

Sandhagen really is shook from the destruction he caused.

 

[m9]

Frankie has had some bad KOs recently and is closing in on 40.

Will Guida be inducted into the Hall of Fame?

I'm inclined to think he will... and it's a little surprising he isn't more of a fan favorite the way Cerrone is

Yeah, he had that fight with Maynard where he ran around, but his list opponents fought is one of the most impressive in MMA history

Josh Thomson
Gilbert Melendez
Tyson Griffin
Roger Huerta
Mac Danzig
Nate Diaz
Diego Sanchez
Kenny Florian
Rafael dos Anjos
Takanori Gomi
Anthony Pettis
Benson Henderson
Gray Maynard
Chad Mendes
Dennis Bermudez
Brian Ortega
Joe Lauzon
Charles Oliveira
BJ Penn
Jim Miller
Michael Johnson

Wins in bold

Yeah, he had that fight with Maynard where he ran around, but his list opponents fought could probably rival any fighter in history

He's had 1 finish in 17 fights over the last 10 years. Hasn't beaten anyone relevant in the UFC over that time. Lots of ugly fights, too.

Hard to gain a ton of fans that way.

I’ve never been a Guida guy. He has had a few fun fights with the Sanchez one standing out the most but a lot of forgettable ones as well. He’s moving nonstop but swinging at air or holding onto someone’s legs quite often. I do give him credit for longevity and toughness.

 

[Avs_19]

10-9 Volkov

That was a very Overeem round. Looks good, lands big shots, gets dropped, and loses the round.

 

[m9]

Volkov looked f***ing great. Overeem looked slow/heavy and couldn't handle Volkov's power.

 

[Chaels Arms]

Great stoppage by Herzog.

 

[Perennial]

I think Overeem made a mistake earlier in his career by bulking up...

He's so slow... if he had stayed lean and light, his striking would've been so much more effective

 

[CDJ]

That was the most aggressive Volkov has ever been and look what he has to show for it! Great win, great stoppage

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Volkov looked good

 

[Avs_19]

That was a beat down. A lot of patience early on and perfect timing from Volkov.

Overeem couldn’t afford to stay on the outside and cover up and that’s exactly what he did whenever Volkov pushed forward.

 

[Perennial]

Great stoppage by Herzog.

Overeem had essentially tapped without actually tapping

 

[I am not exposed]

Cruz forget Ngannou is in the division?

 

[CDJ]

Ngannou sleeps volkov in 35 seconds. 2021 prediction-he beats Stipe + Volkov + Blaydes in under a round combined
