MMA-UFC UFC 284 - Makhachev v Volkanovski

[Topkent]

Lol I think if you're using Nate Diaz as the truth eagle you're missing hard.

Dan Hooker's birthday is February 13.

UFC 284 was Feb 12 (in Australia).

Rumours on r/mma is that Hooker did a stream on IG where he was clearly inebriated.

You do the math

Fighters all over the world drink, they don't go on Twitter making those accusations. Not sure how that's a smoking gun

Some of the stuff Volk was telling Islam is funny

 

[phantom13]

To be honest I'm assuming nearly all guys in the UFC are on something or other, I have no way of knowing either way of course.

Its really part of their jobs to be finding some edge, its on their team and them to make sure its legal but they should all be pushing the envelope.

If Islam did it and gets busted i assume its an NC fight and Volk v Someone for the vacant title?

 

[footyfan1978]

Big question would be does the UFC actually want to know about it

We know that answer already. No...

Will the nurse step forward ?

Would that be breaking some kind of patient confidentiality if she did?

 

[norway blue]

Fair point. More questions than answers. I mean they destroyed Nick. Over what. Pot.

This guy pretty much sums it up.

 

[00Stinger]

I mean, IV drips can be used to hide PED use as well.

Bobby was on to something

 

[RobbyRoy]

It's not exactly worth it for that, he sorta throws it out quick and moves on quick. Doesn't at all suggest anything should be done of it.

Wait ya reckon volks on something?

I don't think he would want too much attention on the goings on when he's in Thailand, put it that way.

Yeah nah

Yeah I figured those Thai training camps had a bit going on, the availability of the stuff over there and I wonder how it works with USADA as well?

 

[Topkent]

Well Zhang weili, Jiri, Izzy and about 200 other fighters who train in Thailand are ****ed aswell then apparently

Going by that logic, we can assume the same for anyone who trains in Mexico then?

 

[Engimal v3]

Volk still listed as #1 in the PFP rankings, despite the UFC marketing this fight as the battle for the #1 spot.

Rightfully so, imo.

 

[manureid]

So is the UFC naming Volk still the Number 1 P4P fighter an admission they think the result was dodgy?

Edit: SNAP ^^

Technically the PFP rankings are supposed to be done by an "independent" media panel, so technically the UFC isn't involved.

(Even though they're clearly manipulated to help the UFC's marketing)

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

I'm not sure you can really beat some "short guy" who usually fights in a lower weight class and expect to be crowned P4P king. I'm sure Islam will get P4P status at some point, but will most likely happen after a successful move to WW.
JJ probably claims it if he beats Cyril.

 

[Topkent]

I'm wondering if the UFC wanted Volk ranked 1 still to try and push for the rematch. Now Islam can't claim he's number 1.

This is pure speculation on my behalf of course, I have no evidence to support this.

Bobby Green said that about Thailand.... just before he got busted for using banned supplements

 

[Engimal v3]

Hope so, none of the top 5 give Islam a fight as tough as Volk did.

 

[RobbyRoy]

You've picked three interesting examples. Jiri is the most tested fighter in the UFC, Izzy has horrendous gyno and Weili is built like a brick shithouse.

I'm in the "they're all on something" group, and to some extent, I don't really care. If absolutely everything was able to be completely stamped out then great, let's do that. But there are so many loopholes and ways to get even the most minor of advantages, and no one wants to fall behind.
