Picks
Predictions: 8 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 505 Points | Tied for 1588th
Islam dec
Khamzat dec
Ikram ko
Mokaev sub
Javid dec
Victoria by murder
Edit: Seen a lot of people spamming that Alex will win this time. This is coming from a big Volk fan who picked/bet him in first fight...He's gonna lose. Islam had way less 5 rnd experience, enemy territory, lower rehydration window, and volk had full camp. He still couldn't pull it off.
This time Islam will win more convincingly and everyone will be upset.

Muhammad Mokaev, SUB, R3
I really think Elliot has more of a chance then most people think and I want to pick him. But I'm being logical here.

BJJ vs. Sambo Drama
Predictions: 8 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 490 Points | Tied for 1951st
But I think that beyond resuming the drama that Khabib started with the shirt at the weigh-in (If Sambo was easy, it would be called Jiu Jitsu) everything that Craig Jones argues simply does not make sense: Sambo is not a myth, it is the training system of the Soviet military and in reality Combat Sambo is the best base to make the transition to MMA because it practically covers all the fundamentals of MMA: Combat Sambo has punches, kicks, takedowns, scrambles, submissions attempts. You can win by KO, Submission or points (Decision).
In addition to criticizing the legitimacy of sambo, Craig Jones says that Islam stinks regarding subs attempts and that is a fallacy: You only need to watch the Islam vs. Sambo fight. Dober or Thiago Moises to realize the good work Islam does in scrambles, transitions and subs attempts: use the body triangle of back control to get the full mount, Armbar Attempts from full mount, knee to the belly in side control, good use of headlocks in addition to defending Thiago Moises' inverted heel hook. The reason why Islam does not chain subs attempts after subs attempts is obvious: if you lose position in MMA your opponent attacks you with ground and pound, which does not happen in BJJ.
Other thing is that Craig Jones in the embedded is presented as Volkanovski's Sambo Instructor (although that may be a matter for UFC Media and not a self-proclamation by Jones). I understand that Khabib's return and the opportunity to cross paths gave Craig the idea of reviving Sambo-BJJ Beef, but Jones was outwrestled by Sean Brady (Really Good Grappler in my opinion) in a Grappling Contest, you can't brag about BJJ Superiority if you were clearly beaten with only wrestling fundamentals.

+ he's just trying to big up Volk while putting down Islam which makes sense since that is what Islam's camp has been doing to Volk.
You really believe Volk weighed more than Islam on fight day in there first fight? Javier Mendez said that.
And on Embedded the Dagestani's were clowning Volk's standup.
It's just healthy competitive **** talk back n forth, don't think either side mean very much by it.

Obviously Islam had a stronger weight cut at UFC 284, but Volk I don't think he was able to rehydrate much more than what he already had when he got on the scales, however it is well known that Islam recovers a lot after the weight cut.
It's true that trash talking is usually common in being competitive. I admit that I took Jones' comments literally.
