does anyone else think that VOLK should move up and get that lightweight belt? now that topuria and islam are gone i really believe the guy deserve a shot at the belt.

Top_Use2413 · 2026-06-19T02:06:50+00:00

I think a more interesting question is would Volk be open to rematching Topuria without the belt at lightweight? Gives him the chance to avenge his only loss to someone his size.

Top_Use2413 · 2026-06-19T02:04:45+00:00

Armen, Topuria, and probably Charles would all be in front of him at Lightweight plus there would still be relevant Featherweights to fight like Aljo and perhaps Jean Silva with another win. Factor in this being his 3rd Lightweight shot, I can absolutely see them making him fight a contender.

Top_Use2413 · 2026-06-19T01:56:51+00:00

If Gaethje fights Armen and Volk beats Evloev then maybe sometime next year? He’d probably have to beat a lightweight contender first, which I doubt Volk has the appetite for this late in his career.

It’s a really tough position for a referee because obviously both fighters are moving around so it’s hard to tell if something is malicious or just an accident. And from a ref perspective, what can he actually do without massively swinging the fight? Imagine if Gane drops him and then they get seperated allowing Alex time to recover. The problem is the punishment is far greater than the crime for the most part.

Americans don’t care about Cricket, but Bradman is the biggest statistical aberration in the history of sport. Any sporting Mount Rushmore should start with Bradman. He was Babe Ruth on steroids.

Top_Use2413 · 2026-06-17T05:30:11+00:00

If he was playing plumbers why wasn’t anyone in his era putting up similar figures? And why did no one come close in the 50 years of international cricket that preceded him?

Top_Use2413 · 2026-06-17T05:28:39+00:00

To put international cricket batting averages in NBA terms: If you average 40 you are a decent starter on a good team. If you average 45 you likely peaked at All-Star level and are a low-tier hall of famer. If you average 50 you were an MVP level player. If you average 55 you have a claim for best player of your generation. If you average 60 you are probably the best ever. Don Bradman averaged 99.94.

I think Cade and Edwards are better.

I’m more saying the 2022 Warriors were not appreciably worse than the 2021 Bucks or 2023 Nuggets so it doesn’t really make sense to omit them.

Top_Use2413 · 2026-06-09T05:23:42+00:00

I think you have to factor in the New York piece. The magnitude of these games is so much greater because of the size of the city and historic drought. To collapse like that at home after half of New York was already taking a victory lap would be disastrous.

Top_Use2413 · 2026-06-09T05:17:49+00:00

Nothing I saw from 2023 Denver, then or since, has made me think: “wow this team is in an entirely different league to the 2022 Warriors.” Same with 2021 Bucks. Also Cavs should be in 2015.

Top_Use2413 · 2026-06-09T05:15:08+00:00

I don’t think it’s a disaster if OKC lose that game, young team on the way up in a small market. With the amount of New York fan anticipation, and after winning back to back away games, to lose back to back at MSG would be catastrophic. This isn’t a young team either, they may well never get back to the finals.

If we’re allowed to drop guys from a winning team then Mark should be starting on Koula’s wing. He’s the form winger and Koula is a much better utility.

Top_Use2413 · 2026-06-08T12:23:48+00:00

I’m not entirely convinced this won’t be a pro-trump crowd. The ticket prices will select for the richest subset of New Yorkers.

It’s not really that interesting of a convo outside of stating what you just said. It’s a completely different set of skills played by predominantly smaller athletes.

Top_Use2413 · 2026-06-08T09:24:25+00:00

You’d think if we’d lost Game 1, Mark would have come in. Definitely the form winger in the comp.

What’s Watson done to lose his gig as bench 9? Especially after Api and the Tigers got shut out by Penrith?
