Lopes vs Volk may be a stupid choice
If Lopes wins against Volk, it might be a allright choice. Might. He will have beaten a former champ in Volk and even though it is a vacant belt at the moment, it will be a legit win over a former champ in Volk, so having him as a champion is somewhat legit (when you for a moment forget there is also a guy named Evloev in the same division). If Volk wins, the belt will be worthless, because Ilia beat the shit out of Volk. Volk will not be seen as a legit champ for anyone with at least 2 brain cells. Especially when you consider that the guy has 2 straights losses as his last fights, getting finished in both. Against champs, but still. Fighting for the title is illogical. The right choice for the UFC should have been Lopes vs Evloev. No further explanation needed. submitted by /u/RubbleIsland [link] [comments]
