That was a technical master class.

Diego gets another moral victory by hanging with one of the best, but he'll probably lose sleep over not going all out with his second shot at the belt.

Wow. If anything Diego did less damage than the first fight.

It's like instead of realizing that he did the best in moments of chaos, he tried to out-technical Volk.

He's a lot of fun to watch. He'll own that division for a long time from the #2 spot.

I would be shocked if he did tonight, but soon... Soon. He's getting old and Father Time tends to hate fighters

On the one hand, he's 37. But on the other hand, he's 37.

I know Evloev or Murphy are up next for Volk, but Jean Silva would be the only fight I'd be halfway excited to see.

Terrible fight and terrible effort by Lopez. Pure joke of a fight plan by Lopez. Was hoping he would go for it but it was never going to happen.

Laron Murphy step up

Strickland vs. Fluffy should be fun.

I don't want to see Lopes in a tutor fight on 1 win fight streaks again for a long long time.

This should have been Laron Murphy's spot but I guess UFC did the favor for Volk in Sydney and have him a guy he'd dominate.

Murphy is next.

And man, Strickland vs Fluffy is going to be fun.

I agree. They gave Lopez a favor by letting him fight for the title again. He fricked that up by not fighting.

Murphy should have been the fighter but hopefully they do the right thing and give it to him. He has earned it.

I'd fear Lopes moreso than Murphy. Volk is going to wipe the floor with Murphy in a snoozer of a matchup.

I’m all for Jean Silva also. That would be an awesome fight. He will bring it for sure

Y'all are acting like Lopes wanted to not fight. Volk is just that good that he eliminated any threat that Lopes was gonna try. Volk just put on a masterclass in how to out scheme your opponent and not let them do anything they want to do.

Finished in time to catch the whole Teofimo Lopez vs Shakur Stevenson fight.

The GOAT Michael Buffer still at it.

No no …. You just don’t understand, Lopes is a joke you see. Don’t you get it? Lopes just isn’t good.

Lopez has always came straight forward and mixed it up. He did very little of that tonight That’s not even debatable. Did volk do what he needed? Yes. But each of the guys that have beaten him have put the pressure on him and got him out of there. That’s also a truth. Lopez didn’t do enough. Especially for a second try
