Volk is so scary because he is always supremely confident. The fact that he was playing to the crowd and more active against Islam on the ground is ridiculous. He doesn’t downplay his opponents, he gives credit but always shows that he is prepared and able to contend anywhere.
@@arulkanthansenthilsivakant4827 too right. jones is the GOAT, for now, but P4P is part full record, but more what u done in last 3 yrs. 1 fight shouldnt get u there.
@@mitchgilmore thats more than a reach. sounds like recency bias to me. volk and islam dont have enough title wins to be in that convo. will they end up clearing their division ? Yes of course. but it hasnt happened yet. so calling them goats is premature. a big factor that prevents them 2 from being number 1 is the body of work. once they take out the top tier competition , then we can begin that convo. I get tho volk beat max which is a very big accomplishment, but just cause you beat one top tier guy, that doesnt hold that much weight
Take downs and ground and pound are going to be a huge part of Volkanovski’s game plane. Just watch. Volk will be too careful to get submitted as well and his grappling has only improved since the Ortega submission attempts. Not to mention he’s being training with craig Jones non-stop. Volk will tire Yair out on the ground and then start piecing Yair up on the feet.
Actually a good take. Y’all mfers just hating at that point. Very good take. Volk’s gas tank is top notch being with CKB with their breathing exercises. All the athletes go til the end without breathing heavy
@BEASTFORCE24 Why do I care about these stupid excuses 😒 I watched the fight, and then they raised Islam's hand in Australia, I was waiting to see volk knocking out islam and I was so excited but frankly the crowd who won that night .
@BEASTFORCE24 😆 🤣 No answers 😆 😂 you want me to believe you, not my eyes ?? Or I'm casual ? Don't let the hate affect your life , it's just a game, and they both took a bag of 💰 home, and you're crying on comments
Whittaker has a great chin, actually. And another thing, Yair did not ''refuse to fight Zabit'', he was literally injured; and when he was cut it was cause Dana got pissed off with the ''fake news'' comment, and cause those were actually fake news that Dana announced (he announced 3 fake fights, including GSP vs Nate Diaz lol)
In my opinion p4p means who has done more in their weight class or across multiple weight classes. Then Jon Jones as no.1 makes sense and Volk above Makhachev aswell. But porier above Whittaker in the rankings? Idk bro
i think jj gets GOAT (whole record) but P4P should include whole record but preference last couple of years. id have jones at 3 at best, issy might be ahead.
That Brunson and DDP fight was a horrible watch, both were completely gassed by the end of the first. Brunson gave up and let DDP finish it, Whitaker is going to massacre that poor man.
Likely, though I wonder if Whitaker does the smart thing and gives DDP no chance to touch him in the first or the fun thing, going straight at him? Whitaker will probably just fight, but that gives DDP a chance, however small.
Rob has a solid enough chin to endure what Dricus has to offer. The only man who ko'd him as a MW is Izzy and he survived what Till and Romero had to offer in their fights.
I swear I have subbed to your channel before, like a while ago, weird to see it unsubbed. Always love your vids, keep up the content for us fight fanatics
I think after Volk managed to escape Ortega's sub attempts he would be fine against Yair. Plus like is mentioned in the video about that Frankie fight, i was thinking that wrestling maybe is still Yair's achiless heel and if Volk could avoid his ground game maybe we would expect an another vicious G'N'P like the Ortega fight.
He escaped Ortega’s subs (x2 in perfect position) and Islam only had one sub attempt that was not close. So chances are Yair doesn’t sub Volk. Also Volk wouldn’t have tapped when Emmet did, he would have got out or slept.
Yair is not going to try to take him to the ground. He is a creative striker with lethal kicks. He will still probably lose, but you are underestimating the fastest, longest, most creative fighter in the division
@@ZigliY I never would have guessed. I just looked it up, and Haloway is 5' 11" and 69" reach. Yair is 5'11" and has a 71" reach; and Volk is a freak at 5'6" and a 71" reach.
@@ZigliY thats just arm length from tip to tip. but that changes dramatically when one of the fighters is that much taller than the opp. so yair def has the reach advantage. i still thinks he loses, unless he happens to catch volk with something crazy
The problem with what Sterling says, is Volk's small body an advantage for defending takedowns and escaping from submissions? His neck is so small, legs are small, there is hardly something to hold, so if they were same height would thaf be an advantage for Volk's defensive grappling? Also Volk's weight was equal during the fight as well they cut to 155 and Australia only gives 24 hours to rehydrate not 36 hours, and Volk's arms are long, even has longer reach than Makhachev's
If Yair didn't break his foot I think he had Holloway because those kicks were eating Holloway alive round 1... Deffo worth underdog odds if he's out past 3/1
This and the unfamiliars are two of my favorite tune up pieces of content, great stuff as per. Obligatory note I must add haha but when Bob Fitzsimmons entered “pound for pound” into the lexicon over a century ago he specifically had commented on fighters who make weight for other belts north and south their natural division. If a fighter is able to be sanctioned and qualify for contention at a weight, they no longer need P4P assumptions. For comparisons sake, they are close enough that with training can be genuinely pound for pound with the fighter being compared to. It was explained especially when ppl though Jake LaMotta was better than Ray Robinson by example. Then Ray beat him four times after losing the first one bc he didn’t want ppl saying he was a welterweight who simply lost to a really good tough middleweight, problem solved. Seems logical at first but for some reason ppl still say stuff like “well volk gave him a good fight so he’s still P4P” it’s a convenient falsity applied at the discretion of whoever wants to twist the tradition of what it means for their benefit. The whole “if volk was a true 155er” is literally not real. Throw away line in this video used to make a VERY well done piece of promo. Just never missing a chance to enter that fact into record
Yair is very dangerous off of his back. And its very likely Volk will get the fight there where Yair can work his guard game. Whereas Islam couldn't really utilize his submission grappling skills against Volk because his takedowns generally got thwarted.
The only one thats pretty cut and clear to me is whittaker vs plesis. As whittaker said he takes the love of fighting out of people. Dudes destroys people man.
16:40 Volkanovski is already the featherweight GOAT he beat Mendes, Aldo, Holloway, Ortega,TKZ and arguably should've won the Makhachev fight. As great as Aldo was he did lose in his prime against McGregor, Holloway twice, and Volk since Aldo was only 32 when they fought.
I don’t really understand people calling Yair “the most dangerous” in the division. He’s very good, but Holloway dealt with him 4-1. And let’s not forget Topuria is an absolute brute.
This guy refuses to come out with a bad video, what a goat

it doesn't hurt that he's got freakish athletic abilities either.
@jamiethomas3122 Dudes the perfect build. Short and stocky but has a 72 inch reach. Aswell as amazing fight iq.
Volk is gonna maul Rodriguez once he gets him on the ground, his bjj ain't gonna help him volk has dealt with it all before
They look like they are made out of different material. Volk is made of steel, Yair is wood.
