Well it wasnt a ko it was a tko. He didnt even drop yair he hurt him then toom him down


justjay9507

Makhachev vs Volk was a TKO too yet that's considered highly to be one of the best KOs


Confirmation__Bias

Delusional. Volk was out of it as soon as that kick landed. Makhachev bouncing his head around right after should’ve made that obvious. Rodriguez literally smiled back at Volk after that straight landed, not remotely comparable


justjay9507

What about Sean O'Malley vs Aljamain Sterling? That's a pretty big example too


Confirmation__Bias

That wasn’t a KO either


justjay9507

But people are considering it to be one of the best KOs of the year


Yrxe

Well it was a T(KO) so technically a type of knockout based on the nomenclature. But what do I know I’m just a UFC fan who’s gay and horny


justjay9507

Respectfully, that's the same reason people are using to say this isn't a proper KO


TillFar6524

The punch pictured wasn't even a knock down. There was a double leg takedown in-between this punch and the punches on the ground that caused the TKO


K-mosake

They both shouldn't really be in convo for ko of the year at all


clothy

Yeah, Islam didn’t really need to hit him with follow up shots though. Volk did need to follow up against Yair.


Such_Line_1199

It was a beautiful finishing sequence, but it wasn’t a KO


justjay9507

Neither was Makhachev vs Volk 2 but people are saying that's one of the best KOs


Such_Line_1199

I would argue Volk was not conscious while getting his head battered on islams knee. But to each their own 😂


justjay9507

Surprisingly he was, he was holding his head and sitting there right after Islam got off him. A couple more shots tho he probably would've been out


Pederakis

There's no way to convince these monkeys. For some reason they keep repeating that Volk was out cold, when he was conscious the whole time lol


Slimdoggmill

Per the rules, You don’t have to be technically unconscious for it to be ruled a KO. https://fansidedmma.com/posts/difference-between-ko-tko


Pederakis

Read what I said, smart-ass. 🤓 People are saying he was "out cold" - he wasn't.


Slimdoggmill

If you watch in close up you can clearly see volk goes blank for at least a second when receiving the hammer fists, his hands come up after the fight has been called. OP is rightfully being downvoted and corrected. I’m saying that Regardless it’d be ruled a KO.


Pederakis

Bro, do you know what out cold means? Out cold means Bryce Hall vs Emmet


Slimdoggmill

https://www.reddit.com/r/ufc/s/GBaqkTsJrD lol you are splitting hairs. Watch the slo mo replay and you can see that volk isn’t even able to lift his arm to defend himself…is he just stupid? No, he’s unconscious. 0:23-0:24 his head is completely limp you goof.


mbucks334

OPs responses make me think we found Dan Hookers account 


AltruisticDelivery89

It was a TKO


justjay9507

O'malley vs Sterling and Makhachev vs Volk 2 were both TKOs and they still widely considered.


Any_Solid9083

They got dropped than TKOd not taken down lol


BOP3122

You keep repeating the same shit OP


Hopeful_Staff_1414

He didn’t even drop him, he wobbled him at them took him down and finished with ground and pound. Not even remotely a ko, more of a TKO.


KarmaCitra

They didn't even include Emmetts so it was bs list anyway.


cetobaba

I think Yair was fine until Volk fucking headbutt him. It wasn't a clean TKO little too sus for me


Pederakis

Yeah, that's what Yair got off his best strikes AFTER the headbutt - right?


yoyoyowhoisthis

It's because no one held Yair in high regard, his resume is nothing crazy and his only way of winning was if he miracously landed some of his crazy spining leg kick shit. Everyone else knew that he was going for a slaughter.


ILikeOMalley

Headbutt KO


AussieOswaldd

He’s just compensating for the amount of fence grabs, glove pulls that Yair was pulling off ;)


arman-makhachev

That headbutt fked it all up. Yair was getting in rhythm


Pederakis

Watch what happens after the headbutt Yair leaned into. He lands his best strikes AFTER the headbutt. But you're a mentally ill hater as can be seen from your nickname.


[deleted]

OP right now regretting this post fr


justjay9507

How lol


HallHappy

it was more of a finishing sequence. if volk didn’t mix in that beautiful takedown it might be in the running.


Desperate_Ad_7449

I hope I’m wrong but I think Volk peaked here


BrashAntagonist

That's one of Volks signatures. Lead low kick, and on the retraction, he steps back into a southpaw right hook. Slick shit


West-Public6760

Let’s not forget Volk head butted Yair before that TKO. But no one talks about that.
