    Drives me crazy how Volk deals with combinations by backing up n leaning back with his chin exposed. Its a KO waiting to happen.

    Glad Volk won this though. Impressive given the context, imo.

    Ya disappointing he didnt go for broke against the smaller, aged and a bit shopworn fighter. Seemed content to follow Volk around.

    Absolutely.

    Volk ain’t what he used to be but he just won’t be denied.

    Volk was the underdog here wasnt he?

    Impressive to have an upset win at his age.

    Aussies are the toughest nationality in the world.

    Backs up in a straight line too often as well.

    Yeah, his defence is horrid, no way he will make it in the UFC let alone win anything if he does get in there.

    It´s a KO that already happened, and it almost happened again. At his age, and with the KO losses, he needs to fix that mistake.
    It´s kinda shocking that such an intelligent fighter hasn´t figured this out.

    Chandler was too small, he couldn`t deal with Paddy`s reach and leg kicks at all.

    He got picked off all-round then just lay on top of Paddy doing nothing.
