He almost got subbed by Brian Ortega

Yes, but he didn't.  And Ortega is a Renzo Gracie black belt who is huge and strong for that weight class.  I didn't come away from that thinking that Volk is vulnerable to grapplers; I came away from it thinking that it may be physically impossible for anybody at that weight to choke him out.

That said, Islam is different.  So it's a fasicnating matchup.  Can Islam get the sub?  Can Volk get the TKO?  If neither, who does more to win the decision?  Shit, I have no earthly idea who wins this, or how.

I thought Ortega was part of the Torrance crew, Rorion's two sons.

I agree Islam is different. He was able to sub Oliveira, which is saying something.

I got JJ gassing out by rd 3

I think he gets the legs kicked out from under him. Reyes and Santos probably added tons of mileage to his engine. Hes a fucking sociopath but I do want to see him fight.
