It would be a dirty ass move if Alex doesn’t get his rematch, when so many others had theirs. Max Holloway, Israel Adesanya, Daniel Cormier, and more.

I still don’t understand why people are suddenly acting like Volk isn’t the fucking truth, he did everything he said, went up a weight class, and most of you that are hating on him were saying he beat Islam the first time.
It's the fickle nature of MMA fans unfortunately mate. You have one loss, ans they jump ship, also plenty of people are just waiting to hate on popular fighters. The fucked up thing is that most fighters wouldn't have even taken those two matches. The second Islam fight was 11 days notice after he had surgery a few months beforehand while in a camp to fight someone completely different, and the Ilia fight wasn't even 6 months after that Islam fight. Volk also didn't seem to give Ilia the necessary respect and didn't come in with a solid gameplan like he normally does. He tried to fight Ilia at his own game for much of that match, and by the time he actually went to try and control his opponent, the game was already done. If Volkanovski goes in as he normally does I'd bet on him in the rematch, he just needs to take some time, fully recover, and actually prepare properly this time. Ilia is good, but Volkanovski has far more experience and has done well against a far more dangerous opponent. Like, I can't see Ilia going up to Lightweight and arguably winning against the current champion. People just assume that fighters on a streak are done after one loss, they did the same thing with Oliveira. Meanwhile they forget that GSP, one of the greatest to ever do it, lost twice to fighters he rematched and later destroyed.
@@almongdjdkdkskssnd no. You couldnt be more wrong. Peak testosterone is at around 20. At around 30 it begins to decline. 35 is considered old for athletes in most sports, let alone combat sports.
rematching someone regardless of their accomplishments after flatlining them is a dumb move, just because ilia was an underdog who pulled the upset doesn’t mean every upset deserves the rematch
Volk was great cham but simply doesn't deserve immediate rematch he has been slept badly he needs at least one win to build confidence back,even when fight started Topuria was bullying him,2nd fight proly would be the same
I have concerns with Topuria as champ. He has everything you want skill wise, but he already wants to turn down top contenders and pretend Volk doesn’t deserve the rematch. He’s also said he’s going to retire at like 30, and he’s already wanton to jump weightclasses. He will either be a dominant champion or a guy who sits on the belt and ducks certain opponents.
Volk don’t deserve it anyone who gets kod don’t deserve it and volk got kod 2 times in a row he needs a warm up fight then fight someone for the right to fight for a belt he wanted to move up then let em move up
@@LeafararrabiDos09 Volk getting slept on short notice at 155 has no impact on his status at 145 so idk why that first KO matters. At 145 Volk has destroyed everyone until he fought Topuria. I think Topuria should fight Ortega to stay active then fight Volk who is deserving of the immediate title shot. Who else is Volk going to fight at 145? He’s beat all the top guys already meanwhile Topuria has yet to clean out the top 5.
@@magicmike97mdoesn’t make him Conor. Conor popularized the sport. Not saying MMA wasn’t big already but Conor made it BIG. Non fighting fans all know about Conor. Who tf knows ilia beside us who actually watches mma
In a way he does deserve it but this is 2nd ko in a row so now people are only worried. Least he has some time off right now to train but I do think he deserves it for all the work he’s put in
he’s lost a single time at 145 in his entire career, he has 3 losses total and 2 are at light weight. There’s 1 pro loss he has at a different organization but that doesn’t count.
Dude he wants to fight max first and so Alex can heal completely in meantime... Are you crazy u want Alex to fight on another short notice or only 3-4month break?
He was beating him in the first round... a fully recovered Volk (from being knocked out) might pose a problem. Additionally he was a dominant champ and deserves a rematch. I don't think anyone agrees with Toporia that he should fight lower ranked guys...
Not giving volk the rematch is a big fuck you to him. He was champ for a long time and is one of the greatest fw ever. Why have all these other champs gotten an automatic rematch but he can’t????????????? It’s insane. He beat max three times bro!!!!!!!! Why would max get the shot before him.!!
everyone talking about ilia being scared of max as if max doesnt have dogshit wrestling while ilia wrestles like a damn dagestani on top of his boxing being insane. that'll be a great fight but nothing about that matchup makes me think max will win.
Volk just got knocked out cold in back to back fights . Let Volk get some time off to heal even though he probably thinks he doesnt need it and let Topuria fight Max . Either outcome will fight Volk
Personally I'd like to see Volk take a decent amount of time off. Two KOs in a row isn't a good thing for the brain. Even if he has to win one other fight like an Arnold Allen he'll be back in the title picture in no time.
I’m seeing ilia as a dodger . Every fighter has a bad night at some point , kabib quit before he could ever really get challenged by a prime fighter too, who Dustin ? He was never even champ. these guys are terrified of that L. Max don’t dice a fuck , that’s why we love him .
Look forget about mackachev...different beast....alex looked great the hole fight...not to take away from ilia....volk deserves the fight....lets see how he does against hollaway first !!!!
Lol, Ilia said he wouldn't have his rematch in Australia, he never said he wouldn't defend his title. Stop crying, now that he's the champion there's absolutely no logical reason for him to go to Volk's home to defend his title. It's the same with Holloway, he wants to challenge the champion but doesn't want to put his BMF title on the line (Dana himself said he wanted to give it more activity, the argument that it's only for special occasions is no longer valid). If Volk wants the title, he should go to Spain and earn it.
It may be close and for debate but ultimately volk still closely deserves the rematch no questions asked. If he loses and izzy loses theyre finished their reign and have to do whatever ufc tells them to climb again. They may not immediately rematch because of logistics but it will happen
If Volk can be number one contender again of course he deserves a rematch that's how the sport works. Or is supposed to work, number one contender deserves a title shot no matter who it is.
Ilia doesn’t want a 2 times knocked out Volk who comes back too early. He wants a well rested and best condition Volk. Volks team is really bad in just letting him fight Ilia after being BRUTALLY KOed by Islam.
There should always be a rematch when it comes to title fights UNLESS it is total domination which it wasn’t, Volk should get that rematch no matter if topuria thinks he shouldn’t… someone who is confident that they would win the rematch wouldn’t hesitate to accept the rematch which tells me he’s isn’t very confident about beating Volk again.
Its a tricky one, as much as i like Volk, Topuria has somewhat of a point. But all things considered, including my bias for Volk, he should get a rematch. But perhaps after a different opponent for Topuria.
Would favor Iila but kinda stupid on his part to say no. Two wins over Volk looks good on the resume and it’s not like he’s in a position to call the shots so ultimately what her says about Volk or Max is irrelevant. It’s funny because as a non divisional champ Max is higher up on the pecking order of calling shots. If he says he wants Iila next and Volk ain’t ready he gets it regardless of what Iila thinks.
I want to see a well rested and fully recovered volk fight him. It'll be a really fun fight and topuria knows that alex is the toughest fight in the division.
Still waiting for to be said in hopes of a rematch I think ilia don’t want the rematch bc he kno volk will be different and he knows he could loose his belt after first defense
Volk deserves a rematch for sure but not right away. I still think if volk had said fuck that to the islam rematch and just fought ilia coming off the yair win not being knocked out, it wouldve been a much better fight.
He's scared he might have a short reign as champion. Lmao Real Champs fight anyone point blank no matter with or with out a belt that's a real champ. Winning the belt and then decide who you'll fight and who you won't sounds like this champ just wants the fame and money more then a legacy. A more of a Lack of tough fighter's mentality tbh

He did say just that you clown. Go watch it yourself on tnt sports channel
Even I don’t like volk but dude deserves a god damn rematch. Volk is so good at adjusting that I believe he can win the rematch 100%
Creo que Topuria, ahora lo noqueará, en el primer round
Lol, Ilia said he wouldn't have his rematch in Australia, he never said he wouldn't defend his title. Stop crying, now that he's the champion there's absolutely no logical reason for him to go to Volk's home to defend his title. It's the same with Holloway, he wants to challenge the champion but doesn't want to put his BMF title on the line (Dana himself said he wanted to give it more activity, the argument that it's only for special occasions is no longer valid).
If Volk wants the title, he should go to Spain and earn it.
Please don’t want to see Volk slept again, Holloway next!
Max gets the dub and then we get the rematch when volk has a full camp so we can see a good fight against toporia
Keep that same energy when Max flatlines you... and don't worry, the rematch will happen. As the #1 contender fight... whether Ilia wants it or not...
Volk is right: He deserves that damn rematch
0-3 in his last 3 and wants an immediate rematch
Ilia is in the list of one of the top irritating champs 🏆
Immediate rematch? No. But, if Volk's getting win over Aljo, he deserves that rematch.
If anyone is deserving of a rematch it's Volk. If you're a champ you can't just pick and choose who you wanna fight.
Let Ilia fight Holloway and we'll automatically see Ilia be interested in fighting Volk again after that match.
Ilia did not say he wouldn’t give him a rematch. He said it’s his right to have one but that there’s no point and that Volk should rest a bit.
It may be close and for debate but ultimately volk still closely deserves the rematch no questions asked. If he loses and izzy loses theyre finished their reign and have to do whatever ufc tells them to climb again.
They may not immediately rematch because of logistics but it will happen
Ilia is going to be a champ for a couple years guys ☝️🔥
If Volk can be number one contender again of course he deserves a rematch that's how the sport works. Or is supposed to work, number one contender deserves a title shot no matter who it is.
Topuria doesn’t act like a champ or a BMF. I don’t even know what it is about him, but he’s really hate-able
Nah bud your giving my boy his belt back and it better be one day soon
Tbh he said volk is a good guy ı give him a rematch ı dont know what the fuck is this
Ilia doesn’t want a 2 times knocked out Volk who comes back too early. He wants a well rested and best condition Volk. Volks team is really bad in just letting him fight Ilia after being BRUTALLY KOed by Islam.
Exactly Islam said same thing... Alex fans are also crazy hating on ilia for no reason
There should always be a rematch when it comes to title fights UNLESS it is total domination which it wasn’t, Volk should get that rematch no matter if topuria thinks he shouldn’t… someone who is confident that they would win the rematch wouldn’t hesitate to accept the rematch which tells me he’s isn’t very confident about beating Volk again.
Volk need to first relax, enjoy life then work his ass off he wants to make a comeback.... He first win some matches to get back the confidence
Sleepy Volkanovski needs to retire before Illia Topuria puts Volkanovski in the Nursing home for old people. 😊
Illia thinks it's up to him, that's hilarious
Now he doesn’t want to fight at all🤣🤣
Its a tricky one, as much as i like Volk, Topuria has somewhat of a point. But all things considered, including my bias for Volk, he should get a rematch. But perhaps after a different opponent for Topuria.
That I'd exactly why ilia wants to fight max first and Alex fans crying for no reason
He’s scared of losing Volk knows his secret volk is very smart
Volk let Illia skip Max but Illia won't let Volk get his rematch after being a dominant champ
Would favor Iila but kinda stupid on his part to say no. Two wins over Volk looks good on the resume and it’s not like he’s in a position to call the shots so ultimately what her says about Volk or Max is irrelevant. It’s funny because as a non divisional champ Max is higher up on the pecking order of calling shots. If he says he wants Iila next and Volk ain’t ready he gets it regardless of what Iila thinks.
Fighter with insane stamina "go to the body"
ilia won one championship fight and think he conor mcgregor 💀
Mfs such a dork😂😂 can’t wait til next year when Stricklands back on top and tells Izzy to forget about his rematch
What
I want to see a well rested and fully recovered volk fight him.
It'll be a really fun fight and topuria knows that alex is the toughest fight in the division.
And that's why ilia let Alex wait and heal for now... Casual fans giving unnecessary hate to ilia
He's scared of Volk with a full camp😂😂
Foo won’t take a rematch but thinks he’s worthy of bmf? Cmon
Still waiting for to be said in hopes of a rematch I think ilia don’t want the rematch bc he kno volk will be different and he knows he could loose his belt after first defense
Doesnt even have a title defense and thinks he can call the shots😂
Believe you me, you won't need to rematch Alex, Max will after Ufc 308😅
Of course he don't want a rematch. This guy act like a total ignorant DH! Fu got lucky.
Volk deserves a rematch for sure but not right away. I still think if volk had said fuck that to the islam rematch and just fought ilia coming off the yair win not being knocked out, it wouldve been a much better fight.
Its so hard to like Illia at this point
I mean he knocked him out cold in like 6-7 minutes. That’s pretty much ended it lol.
He's scared he might have a short reign as champion. Lmao Real Champs fight anyone point blank no matter with or with out a belt that's a real champ. Winning the belt and then decide who you'll fight and who you won't sounds like this champ just wants the fame and money more then a legacy. A more of a Lack of tough fighter's mentality tbh
The disrespect man, one of the longest running champs and u don’t give him a immediate rematch thats bullshit
Immediate mtch is what can be downfall of Alex.. He needs a proper heal time of around 8months boy chill out he and hv some time off
@@BestaticbeastDl that wasn’t an immediate rematch, he stepped into a short notice fight, that was the issue.
Volk can go slept again in a 4th weight division welterweight by Bilal next like he wants
Whether illia fights max or volk next he will lose.
He got lucky that volk didn’t take him seriously it won’t be the same next fight
