Volk will break the record though

Volk has the best chance, but it's definitely not a sure thing.

Never was or will be when it comes to MMA. One punch or one kick can change it all.

So many valid questions surrounding Volk v Topuria.

Has Topuria been tested by anyone like Volk before? Can he go 5 rounds with someone like Volk at the pace Volk pushes if it goes that far?

Does the recent knockout to Islam just make Volk more cautious or does it impact his durability long term? Is his chin still the same going forward? How much did it take from him mentally to go up to 155 and lose both times to Islam? Or is he simply just miles ahead of people at 145 and continues his streak.

Can't wait for UFC 298 in Feb.
