Vol don't need but one leg in an ass kicking contest.
Been watching him since he first got to the big show in MMA. Not sure about who he's training w/ but he's probably top 5, now.
Desperately needs to move camps, hes got the power, chin, and cardio. If he could polish his striking a little and work on takedown defense he could easily be top 3.
I hope so too.. He did overcome hurting his ankle in the first round to come back and win the fight and I hope like he'll he can beat Jon Jones. But Jones is one of if not the best pound for pound fighter in the UFC and if OSP isn't conditioned it will be a short fight. OSP and Conor McGregor are my 2 favorite fighters and OSP has improved and become a legitimate UFC fighter but Jones will by far be the best fighter he has ever faced. But he has worked his way up to #6 and deserves this shot to see what he can do and prove he is one of the better light heavyweight fighters. Will be pulling hard for him April 23rd.
Exactly what I thought, unfortunately. Would love for him to pull off the massive upset, but I'm pretty sure the only chance of that happening is OSP landing a one-punch KO with the left, or a high kick, both of which are highly unlikely against Bones. Not only is JBJ bigger, stronger, and faster than OSP, he is the more technical (not to mention dynamic) fighter in every aspect of the game. Significant advantage everywhere, plus Jones has a chin, making the KO that much more unlikely for OSP. Again though, I'd love it if OSP pulled off the upset. Either way, serious props to step up on short notice and fight someone who is, in my opinion, the best fighter in the world. Really a no-lose situation for OSP as no one expects him to win. No shame in losing if he does, JBJ has made some of the best fighters in the world look like scrubs. Go out and do your best, and maybe something great happens for you.
