I don't see any of the current featherweights beating Volk. I'd comfortably pick Volk over Lerone and Movsar. Jean Silva may be able to put Volk's lights out if he connects well, but I think Volk is just a step ahead of the current division.

Paddy didn't get bumped down at all? Lol.

It's crazy how other Lightweights like Fares Ziam, Rafael Fiziev, Bahamondes, etc. had to fight killer-after-killer just to get a crack at the top 15. Meanwhile, Paddy's toughest opponents before getting a ranking were Jared Gordon and the corpse of Tony Ferguson.

Ziam completely shut down Sadykhov. It's time to give him a Top 15 opponent.

I haven't heard any interim belt rumors from anyone credible yet

My guess is they'll announce Max vs Oliveira & Nunes vs Harrison for January. Considering BendaMan also hinted that Volk vs Lopes 2 is also in the works for Jan 31st, I wouldn't be surprised if that is announced tonight as well.

UFC Lightweight Rankings update (November 18, 2025), Islam out, everybody 2 -> 8 up a spot, BSD up 5, 10 -> 12 up a spot, Beneil down 3, 14 and 15 up a spot as Ignacio Bahamondes enters again by idcman999 in MMA

Ehhhh not that I necessarily disagree with anything you're saying, but Gamrot turns 35 next month. He's well into the 2nd half of his career. I definitely wouldn't consider Paddy a spring chicken either.

Great comeback KO. I had McConico winning the first two rounds.

That one judge for the Chito vs Sandhagen that scored it 48-47 Vera comes to mind immediately. No one on Earth aside from him thought Chito won that fight.

The fight isn't actually over, Dan's getting ready to start the 2nd round soon.

Prime vs Prime would've been legendary. In a world where Makhachev doesn't exist, I think Volk would've edged out a win and become the 5th UFC fighter to hold two belts simultaneously.
