    Love him or hate him, Alex is exactly the champion we want to see. Doesn't just get the belt and fight once a year if lucky. He's still hungry. 3 or 4 times a year he wants to fight, that's a mentality I can respect. I love Holloway and my heart broke the other night, but this guy has paid his dues and proven himself inside and outside of the cage. He's earned another fan.

    I wonder if Volkanovski’s reach disadvantage would be just too much against Oliveira, cause damn, he definitely wouldn’t have a power disadvantage. Defensively against Holloway, he put on an absolutely master class. His head and foot movement and ability to avoid much damage at all from an accurate volume puncher, and then reply with much more accuracy and power, was really telling.

    With all due respect to Charles his recent performances are nothing short of legendary, but he needs to realise although he is the peoples champ, he isn’t on paper. Which is unfortunate but reality. Meaning, if he wants to chase the Conor fight, I believe Volk should have the opportunity to fight for the vacant 155 title then, be it makhachev or whoever else. So Charles, it’s either chase the Conor fight or fight for the vacant. You can’t do both because it just doesn’t make sense. Our champion Volk wants another belt and he’s waiting.

      Charles said recently that he wants the Connor fight for the money. Anyone from 145 to 170 would happily fight Connor right now, they are just farming him for the paychecks. Makhachev is a much tougher challenge and would probably be less lucrative. As a fan, I would prefer to see the more challenging fight (Makhachev), but I would probably have the same priority in Charles's place. At least he's straightforward about it, no bullshit.

      Why don't Yall ever talk about Islam not fighting too fighters? He only calls for belt but doesn't fight anyone to get there. Y'all just bash Charles for not fighting him right away it's crazy.
