It’s too bad Mendes retired after this fight; he still had a lot to give the division, and I’d have loved to see him fight some of the top 5-10 fighters who emerged during his suspension.
Volk is moving at such a breakneck pace. I’m hoping to see him finish his next fight, but he’ll be up against another incredibly durable opponent, and if that fight ends in another decision, these point fighting remarks will only get worse.
Mendes, on the other hand, was still fiercely competitive in this match. It’s a shame he and his foot cream had to quit too soon because he was still a top competitor.
A fifth-ranked fighter accepts a fight against a tenth-ranked opponent… If only we could see anything like this in the lightweight category. What’s to stop you?
I had completely forgotten about this war, and it was fantastic to relive it. Mendes seems to have blown it in the second round by rushing once he had the takedown. I’m curious if he believed he was running out of time.
Given the holloway worship on this sub, I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for saying this, but how can you hate this guy? He’s a truly gifted hardcore warrior.

This fight was fantastic; it was a knockout. Even if his default strategy is to battle technological, Volk has the dawg* in him.

I can’t wait for him to do anything like this to Ortega.
Mendes appeared to be in good form in this battle, particularly in light of Volk’s subsequent achievements.
THE Battle FOR THE Wide BACKS
Volk is a master of takedowns and knockdowns.
I’m happy they wanted to post this video for publicity. Imagine if they pitted him against Max in his final fight. That would be a slap in the face.
With Mendes, I had a great war.
They’re the same height, have the same haircut, and have the same tattoo…. At the start of each round, I kept mixing them up…

My favorite of Volk’s fights. I’m hoping for a repeat performance next weekend, when he and T City can put on a show.
Crazy brawl
I figured Mendes was on his way back into title contention, but Volk has completely melted him with pressure here.
Volk vs. Mendes is basically a Spiderman meme.
