he'd be hard to twist, he's a solid nugget and can't be folded many more times. you saw him escape ortega with his neck.

also don't discount his previous NRL career, he was a front rower and nearly 100kg, so he was consistently running into brick walls of all the islanders we have over here playing footy. i'd still back him at lightweight, his skills are solid, he's got mad cardio, and he's a tenacious little fucker. he's also a fellow aussie so fuck you.

Oliviera would have his hands full with Volk.

Has Volk ever been ko'd?

24 and 1 - 1 TKO. and he is roshambo champion so balls of steel

got to hand it to him, can create 100s of headlines with just 2 words

He seems pretty smart business wise in how to keep himself relevent and getting massive payouts but then I see he has rocks for brains outside the ring..

props to the the announcer for calling the sub the second it began to unfold, why its good to have a grappler in the booth.

Pretty sure that was Kenny Florian. He's been a BJJ black belt for 12+ years.

just sad, 7 losses in a row, 4 ko, 2 tko

looks like a chuck liddell situation with the auto KO on any type of contact. not a good sign. prob looking at a Goodridge retirement.

“I’m not going to lie: I was surprised,” Lawler told MMA Junkie on Friday. “I’m like, ‘OK, whatever.’ I get to get out of there earlier, which is nice. I wish they just put me first. Start the show and then get out. Maybe fly home.”

sherdog moved up Riddell/Turner to the main card, with Robbie/Barberena headlining prelims, which still leaves Cowboy/Miller the 2nd fight of the prelims. when was last time Cowboy was on prelims? decade ago?

don't think it is official, guess they could make Tate/Jessica Eye, might be Jessica last fight, she lost 3 in a row and 5-9-1 in ufc. if not could end up with only 2 chick fights on the early prelims

Levan is just way way way too strong. 6-0 was the least surprising outcome given just how fucking big Levan is. I didnt think Larratt was going to get a pin but I did think he was going to have at least some resistance. That was one sided to the point of absurdity. Its gonna kill any Levan match up hype though, there is no point in anyone pulling him currently.
