Nice to have fights coffee and bud in the morning. Sad to see one of my all time favs retire on a knockout loss. But what a career for Chang Sung Jung. Thank you so much for all you gave to us fans!
I'm so bad at predictions that I feel like I curse every fighter I pick so I don't wanna say anythin 😭😭😭
To be entirely honest though, I don't think Alexander has faced anyone like Islam, I don't think he's ready for the weight Islam can put on top. Alexander also goes into this fight with only 3 pro-fight submissions; Islam has 11. On the other hand, Volk does have 12 (T)KO wins, and 9 UDs, I can't deny his stand-up power at all.
Goin off his last six fights, these are my thoughts on how Volk may hold up against Islam, and why I think Islam will snub him out:
Volk did alright against Jose Aldo in their 2019 fight, he put the pressure, he controlled the clinch, and he was attackin the hell out of Jose's lead leg. But he never got a takedown. No matter how hard he tried with trips, he couldn't get Jose down to the matt. Islam certainly won't let Volk trip him if Arman Tsarukyan, a Sambo league s-70 two-time champion, couldn't trip him. And Islam knows to check kicks from the get-go, we've seen it. (Plus, Aldo was on a bit of a decline since his own fights w/ Holloway so I don't know how good Alexander really did against Jose.)
All three of the Holloway vs. Volk fights seem a little useless in relation to this fight in my opinion, Max is a huge boxer, he's not a ground guy the way Islam is, their only similarity is height and we know height doesn't mean shit to our little-bitty-munchkin Aussie. If anythin it just shows how easily a taller fighter can pop right back up after Volk takes them down bc Max was right back to his feet 2/3 takedowns. Islam fought Arman Tsarukyan back in 2019, Arman got the first official takedown of Islam, if Volk (by the grace of whatever higher power you like) gets a takedown, I can assure you Islam will pop right back to his feet.
The Ortega fight was great, Alexander showed his submission defense and reversal ability very well even though his ground and pound looks a little sloppy to me. Not to mention how often Ortega landed massive head strikes and Volk seemed to just shake them off after bein a little dazed. We know Islam has KO power, he doesn't use it often and sometimes he looks a little unsure on his feet, but he has the power and I wouldn't be surprised if he used it next month. Also, (sorry buddy) Ortega just does not have the ability to put down the amount of weight in his hips that Islam can when he's on top and in the clinch. Volk reversin a BJJ-guy isn't applicable to tryin to reverse a Sambo-guy.
And then of course his fight with Chan Sung Jung. I didn't really know how to react to that one, Zombie looked so off his game that Volk did just dominate by default. I don't want to take anythin away from Alexander, he's a spectacular fighter and for sure the best Featherweight in the UFC currently, but that one just wasn't great. I really have no comparison between this fight and the upcomin fight, sorry.
THAT BEIN SAID- I hope this doesn't jinx Islam, the fight is a day before my birthday and I rlly want P4P Champ Islam as a gift 😭😭

I don't know if this fandom is still alive but if it does, I might post a few chapters here as well. And maybe have a few changes because I can.
HEYYY Guys! I haven't posted in to long! So many things to do! But thank you, all of you, who reacted and followed me. It means the world to me! SOOO, here is, FINALLY, Part 2 of "Desperate".
It hurts. That's the first thing you thing when you wake up. You slowly open your eyes, rubbing the strange sleep and drowning sensation that something is horribly wrong, and that staying asleep might chase it all a way. You open your eyes anyway, though, and stare right into On-Jo's eyes. "Yah!", you yell, heart pace quickening, then slowly returning to normal upon recognizing your best friend. You suddenly laugh, remembering how horrified you were, just what felt like mere moments ago. "You would not believe the dream I had today! I was walking down the hall, and was attacked and...", you trail off, eyes taking in the room around you. On-Jo, Ji-Min, Na-Yeon, Su-Hyeok, I-Sak, Dae-Su, Gyeong-Su, Nam-Ra, and Cheong-San, the latter sporting a nastly-looking gash, and all not looking good. "What.. no, no no no no no nonononono".
There was no way, that that anything you experienced in the last hour was real. No way. There couldn't be.. things, ravaging your school, killing people, EATING, people. But you were smart. Smart enough not to deny it. And even smarter enough, to believe it. "When?", you croak, throat tired, the drowsiness becoming a luxury that you wish you could return to. But you were wide awake now. You stand up, dusting your skirt, in a way that makes you recall the last hour. Slowly, your hands find their way back to your sides. "Not to long ago", replies On-Jo, handing you a cheap, crinkly plastic cup of water. "Well, honestly, we don't know exactly when, but we know that it was some time before lunch", Su-Hyeok jumps in, popping his back of the wall, and coming over to help you to your feet. You feel your heart shatter as you stand. What would your Mother and father think? How much they would worry, and what if.."This isn't just in the school? I mean, what if? If it's happening here, then how can we assume it isn't happening elsewhere, too? like back home?", I-Sak speaks your thoughts. You look around you again, as the room falls into a knowing silence.
"Gyeong-Su, close the door more tightly you big oaf!", you hear Na-yeon's high pitched and nasally voice yell. You all turn from you designated spots in the classroom, looking over at the young boy. You seem to notice this kind of stuff at times like these. How young everyone is. How no one is yet deserving to die. "I am! And don't think you have a place to talk, you snobby, spoiled girl!", Gyeong-Su snaps back. "What did you just call me!?", "Alright everyone, enough yelling. There are people going crazy, there is no time for bickering", Cheong-San interjects, but the two adolescents ignore him, opting for their bickering, instead. "Well, at least I'm not a poor rat!" "EXCUSE ME!?", you sigh, sharing a look with the girls, while the rest of the people in the room try to break the two apart. "I HATE YOU!" "And i don't? the feelings MUTUAL, honey!". You roll your eyes, but in the process you notice something. And open latch. A broken window, a gap, where there shouldn't be. You dash up, running to close it, catching everyone's eyes, and stopping the bickering in the process. But before you can, the door is slammed open, knocking the wind out of you. You fall back, already knowing that the person behind this door, they, were going to be trouble.
YASSSS! Finally got around to posting this! I sincerely hope you guys like it! I want to be able to get back to posting! Please interact, and FOLLOW! It helps the motivation! Oh, and requesting does too, 🤭.

Soon after previously normal people begin viciously attacking other citizens in Seoul’s wealthy Gangnam district, the zombie population grows exponentially and spreads throughout the region. Now, long after injuries forced him to quit the national taekwondo team, an elite former athlete is given one more opportunity to use his talent on behalf of his country as he takes on one final match—this time, against terrifying hordes of the undead.
Korean Zombie officially called it a career. Much respect to Cham Sung Jung. One of the great action fighters MMA has ever had. One of the best featherweights MMA has seen. And easily the inspiration for best t-shirts the sport has ever seen.
When the man left, the only way he was going to go out was swinging and he did just that. Nothing but love and respect. Happy he got to get one more title shot and leave on his own terms.
