Definitely pumped for this. It seems impossible to predict the outcome of a Khamzat Usman fight. Usman's aura of invincibility is gone but he remains an absolute beast as is of course Khamzat. Although I see that Khamzat is a -290 favorite. Wow. I guess everyone thinks they can predict the outcome.
As for Islam Volk I am picking Volk. Last fight he was too cautious early on and it cost him. Now that he knows what to expect defensively I see him going hard and hurting Islam and ultimately taking him out. Here I'm also in the minority though as I now see that Islam is the -250 favorite. Oh well.
The only one I definitely want to see win though is Volk. I like his combination of swagger, aggressiveness, smarts and calmness. I was going to say humility, but he isn't really humble, he just doesn't distract himself with hype, which is a welcome change from some other guys at the top.

Usman apparently popped something in his knee while doing some light work Justin G.
That doesn’t sound good

Want to see Magomedov debut.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Re: UFC 294: Volk vs Islam, Usman vs Hazmat
I'm going with Chimaev here. But I really want a long fight where we see a bunch of different positions. Can Usman stop the furious takedowns in the first three minutes? After that, can Usman control the action in the clinch in the middle of the Octagon and of course against the fence? Corralling Chimaev's energy in clinch situations sounds impossible, but if anybody at 170/185 can do it, it's Usman.
Volk vs. Islam ends in a finish. No way this goes to a decision with the way Volk is going to open up. He really was tentative in the first rounds of the first fight. I don't know who gets the finish. I'll say (and hope) Volk gets it.

Pay no mind to the battles you've won
It'll take a lot more than rage and muscle
Open your heart and hands, my son
Or you'll never make it over the river

And the 3rd fight goes pear shaped as the doctor stops the fight due to unintentional foul & it's a no contest. Jokes.

Why on God's green Earth is this only a 3 round fight?
Whose error was this? Disgusting.
Huge 3rd round coming up for Usman!

Don't think it was close due to all the takedowns. 2nd round was the only close round.

Re: UFC 294: Volk vs Islam, Usman vs Hazmat
Well it was a majority the 1 judge had it scored even? Weird.
Now Chimaev vs Strickland. Should be a good one.
Ok now the main event. Very exciting lets see if Volk is in shape. I am hoping for quick finish either way.
I have other things/stuff/adulting I have to do. Heh.
