Bold prediction of 333: this time Yan will get a finish. Merab’s nose is beyond compromised. I think Yan will break it instantly and Merab won’t be able to breathe out of it at all. Then Yan will punish his body even more than the first fight and by the 4th or 5th round we’ll actually see Merab gas out for the first time. Body shot TKO or volume TKO up against the cage

Dricus’s coach confirms Dricus was offered to be apart of a 4 man LHW Grand Prix featuring Ankalaev, Jiri and Navajo which would’ve been sick. Honestly that’s some of the most devastating news I feel like we’ve got in recent times when was the last time we had anything close to a tournament within the UFC?

ROBBERY or NOT: Part 10 This is the tenth part of this still-going series, where we'll decide whether often claimed robberies are indeed so - or not. As always, if you missed any prior parts to this series - particularly the first, where we set out our criteria, please find them on my profile. This part will cover: Makhachev vs Volkanovski Clear: 1 Makhachev, 5 Volkanovski Swing Rounds: 2, 3, 4 In the second round, Volk managed to drop Makhachev early on with an overhand left, before Islam shot in on a successful single leg takedown with which he failed to progress. He landed two solid knees to the body, a good check hook, and visibly hurt Volkanovski with a counter straight left and a hard left hook, while Volk landed a few solid low kicks and a good left hook of his own. Islam finished the round with a solid right uppercut followed by a knee to the body. The scoring criteria tells us that 'immediate impact' must take precedent to 'cumulative impact', and therefore Volk's knockdown has to graze him the round. In the third round, Islam partially landed on a head kick early on. Volkanovski landed a solid check hook and quite a few hard body punches and low kicks, with one that took Makhachev off balance. Islam landed two solid knees to the body and goes in for a successful takedown on Volk, who lands a nice right hand during the shot and got up to his feet before Makhachev could progress. Islam finished the round with a nice elbow and a counter right hook. This is another close round that edges towards Volkanovski in terms of effective striking. In the fourth round, Islam landed on a perfectly-timed takedown and got to the back of Volk, where he'd remain for the entirety of the round. However, he failed to establish any form of meaningful impact - with no damage, submission attempts, or any form of impact delivered in the position - while Volk landed around fifty unanswered strikes to the face and nose of Makhachev from over his shoulder. Verdict: ROBBERY (2, 3, 4, 5 Volk)
