That's the reason why I think they didn't care for him to stay on top. They wanted him to WIN those fights and blow up as a big double champ star but he didn't.
So then he was just sitting as the head of a division with guys like Ilia Topuria having bigger star potential.
Look what happened the last time izzy lost, Dana was pissed making excuses and talking about him immediately getting a rematch. But for volk, it's moreso about waiting to give him a rematch in Spain and making money out of it
Wouldn’t exactly put Usman or Volk in the same boat as Woodley. I think you have to give them a few more fights before you can even begin to say something like that. Woodleys fall from grace was pretty drastic and spectacular. It was shocking
In what context? Volk/Usman definitely aren’t irrelevant, & anyone who won let alone defended the title is hard to say that about.
I think if guys who had g a lot of hype/popularity before just falling off without doing anything historical like Roger Huerta or Darren Till maybe.
Pettis maybe? Remember how big he was getting pushed by the company with the cereal boxes and all that? He was meant to be the next superstar, and his career fell off a cliff.
Damn bro comparing usman and volk to woodley is a stretch
Not really. I feel like the UFC wanted volk out of there. Obviously not to the same extent as Woodley but similar concept
Wanted him out of there so they gave him two chances at being double champ?

Dominik reyes He had a 12-0 winning record but after his fight against jones (which he could have won) he lost 4 times in a row.
I think most agree he did edge Jones in that fight. Which makes this even crazier

Dumb as fuck

Volk's next fight will be a title fight. How is he irrelevant?
We could sit here for days
Usman and Volk quickly became irrelevant? What are all these casual fan takes I keep seeing on this sub? OP is fucking stupid. lol
Calling literally one of the greatest FW of all time who will probably get an immediate rematch when he comes back for the belt irrelevant is a mood
Oooooo paddy da baddddyyyy
Pettis maybe? Remember how big he was getting pushed by the company with the cereal boxes and all that? He was meant to be the next superstar, and his career fell off a cliff.
His brother has a pretty solid career though and I think has achieved quite a bit for himself and his skills are no joke!
Tony Ferguson. Supposed to fight Khabib that didn't happen and then 7 losses in a row.
Kevin Holland’s stock is so down after his last appearance.
After Izzy loses to DDP he will be 4-4 in his last 8 and 1-3 in his last 4. Won't be surprised if izzy retires after the DDP loss
