    Damn, this crowd is hostile. Does Makhachev care?

    Great first round. Volk was doing good on the feet but he got careless and got caught. He did well to defend on the ground though.

    1-0 Islam

    Makhachev got the takedown, but Volk wasn't at risk.

    A very close round just before the takedown.

    1-0 Makhachev.

    Someone said Volka was not the superior striker. I wonder who that was?

    Big left hand rocked Volk. Makhachev has very sneaking striking and he's a strong puncher. Makhachev won the round on the takedown and that big punch.

    2-0 Makhachev.

    I always feel with these wrestlers
    You gotta bait them into a fist fight
    Let them tag you just for the opportunity to strike back

    Islam looked a bit rattled for a moment there he had to run away a bit
