Volks team are just using him as a money maker for themselves. As soon as he accepted that short notice rematch it solidified the fact in my head. When he came out saying he feels lack of direction when not in camp his team should have pushed him to get mental health help so he can be happy without fighting but instead they let him get back in the cage way too quickly against a killer like Ilya. Islam didn't wreck his career, he just exposed how awful his team is.
Or maybe they did try to convince Volk to therapy. But volk seems to be too obsessed and stubborn for greatness, but can’t say i blame him for it either.
What they say and what they do are two different things, nobody's going to say yes we pushed him to take that fight after he lost headkick ko in 12 days notice, the reality is that mma is a business and Volk and his team took advantage of the fact that he was at the top of his career in terms of popularity and extracted every drop of profit possible and this despite the obvious contraindications.@@migueljuarez6788
When he couldn't beat dehydrated Makachev on 12 weeks his coaches said yes you can beat fully hydrated Makachev on 12 days bro Better man don't lose a fight 2 times in a row Edit : 🤫shhhh Islam slept him bad calm down
I think Islam won the first fight. but volk gave one hell of a fight. he completely messes up everything up and just gave Islam a free win with the second short notice step up. if he took his time and had less of an ego, could have done better, atleast theoretically. it's not like his skill has digressed. both of his recent losses are him getting chinned, which is different from getting outclassed for 5 rounds. it's a tragedy, now that his chin is gone, he's just a washed up man in the eyes of many people. he did it to himself with his nonsensical decisions.
@@aidenfielding1348 out boxed for all 5 rounds straight except for last 2 mins by dehydrated fighter is winning to u? ok buddy like I said better man don't lose 2times in a row better man wins deal with it.
@@aidenfielding1348ppl like you are the ones who gaslight volk into thinking that he won the first one and can beat him in 12 days. Volk lost the first one 4-1 easily.
Islam also made the mistake of being dehydrated and fighting volk in australia where you get 12 less hours to recover from the weight cut. The difference is Islam fought volk in his home country Austria with Australian judges and he still beat him, 4-1 round for Islam. But when it was time for volk to go to Islam territory he got killed fast in side 2 minutes. Plus I remember in the rematch volk said he accepted the fight because he is always in the gym always training so there is no excuse. Out striked volk, landed the most memorable shots, out grappled him and touka him down in every round aside from the 5th, he also droped volk on one knee and wobbled him a few times.
volk also immediately said after the fight he's been mentally down and not in the best stage of his life. you can't take what they say that much to heart. he obviously was not prepared for the second fight, just let his ego get the best of him and paid the price for it. I hope he gets chinned again and just retire for good. for his own good. he brought this on himself.
Not gonna say volk ruined his career because he can still come back, but Islam didn’t ruin volks career, volk ruined his own career. He let his ego get ahead of him and fought the pfp #1 and possible future goat on a couple weeks notice, then after getting KO’d, didn’t give himself time to recover and went against a phenomenal striker. It’s his own fault let’s be real.
Islam is officially listed as 5'10 but he is actually 5"11 Oliveira is listed as 5"10 but he us actually taller watch his face off with max holloway, tony ferguson geathje who are all 5"11 foot, oliviera is same height if not a lil taller. And Islam was the same height as oliviera in the face off.
And by the way not only did volk never score any take down in that fight but he also actually never really hurt or droped Islam at any point . In the 3rd round Islam back leg hit the cage and he loses balance and shot for a take down and the Australian fans roar as if volk hurt him lol. And in the 5th Islam was gassed and shot a lazy take down and when he was going down for the single leg volk hit him and missed his the take down because of it, Islam was dropped since he was already going down for the take down.
He did drop him in the 5th round, he was landing ground and pound but it wasn't as clean as many people say. Also watch it over again, it was a set up punch from volk that knocked him down. Islam did the same thing earlier in the fight and volk latched on. The first fight is genuinely a battle of wits, they kept outsmarting each other.
volk got a gift from god in that first fight the circumstances all favored him, in the second fight none of the circumstances favored him. timing is everything
It's not his mistake. He's a warrior, he'll take the fight no matter what. But his actual mistake was choosing to fight so close after being knocked out. That, was his mistake instead of taking time to rest.
Bro that shi gotta be the most career changing fight in ufc history shit was literally a bludgeoning closest to legal murder we seen in the octagon then chandler put the nail in coffins
Islam didn't wreck anything, Volk did, he went up there to challenge Islam, and all Islam did was show him ruling one weight class is sometimes better than biting off more than you can chew. If anything, Ilia wrecked Volk's career, because if Volk had won that fight, his stock would've risen back up. Everything comes to an end, Usman had his reign, Mcgregor had his, Izzy had his, only guy that left on his terms is Khabib
I honestly feel Ilia would have beat Volk anyways but just imo. Fair point that he had to have less chin after Islam, but i think Ilia would have still beaten Volk in the matchup
Debatable, Volk def didn’t look himself, he was far more cautious and didn’t commit. Brian, Yair, Max and Islam all said the Volk in that fight didn’t look like the one they fought. Besides, Volk was still looking good in the fight, out striking Ilia, but he got clipped which may not have happened if he was constantly backing up, or his chin was chipped
@@abdelbasset7775 All 3 judges gave the first round to Volk. There was no grappling so obviously he outstruck him. Plus if you look around the state Volk cleanly outstruck him
@@abdelbasset7775yes he did , ilia may look flashy and everyone is loving him cuz he is the conor wannabe , but he is not invincible , he is very good striker , but he didn't meat any good wrestler yet
I RECKON IT'S THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MADE VOLK BELIEVE THAT HE COULD BEAT ISLAM!! ISLAM HAD A LOOONG CAMP FOR OLIVIERA AND PUT ON A GREAT FIGHT, BUT HE HAD TO IMMEDIATELY START THE CAMP FOR VOLK AFTER A FEW WEEKS....HE WAS HONESTLY COMPROMISED GOING INTO THAT FIGHT!! HE WAS DEHYDRATED DUE TO A 24 hr SHORT REHYDRATION TIME WITH A BAD WEIGHT CUT....COMPARED TO A 37 HOUR ONE WHICH HE WAS USED TO!! AND VOLK WAS IN HIS FKIN PRIME DUDE.....DUDE LITERALLY WAS COMING OFF 50-45ING MAX
Who knows ? We can never be sure , of course now that ilia won you have the right to say that , but if the circumstances were different maybe volk would beat the shot out of him , its like adesanaya vs alex 2 , if that fight didn't happen , every mf would be saying that alex will always fucks adesanaya but the reality is different
You know if someone has warrior spirit seeing how the fighter react after a Loss, Win fights are easy but only a true warrior can come back stronger after a loss.
Individuals with narrow perspectives have been swayed to hold negative sentiments towards Islam, influenced by a subtle yet pervasive agenda in modern discourse. Nevertheless, it is essential to uphold our shared humanity. Dagestani fighters demonstrate exceptional discipline and a robust work ethic, as reflected in their impressive fight records. If your still reading this your gay. Setting aside bias, they warrant recognition and respect, serving as exemplary models of discipline and dedication that we should all aspire to emulate.
Volk was playing the money game. As featherweight champion, he could fight Islam 10 times and lose every one of them without losing his share of PPV points. That is why all these A-holes are challenging neighboring champions rather than their own contenders.
How do you know what that expression looks like? 😂😂 Did your mom walk in on you doing that? The only way to know that expression is if someone walks in on you doing that 😂😂
Volkanovski ruined his own career. He should've never took the rematch on a week's notice. There's a reason Nurmagomedov and Jones always turned down short notice fights!
Dan Hooker is the first fighter ive heared verbal tapping They say China heard him screaming. Without Khabib , Islam would've taken Hookers arm & shoulder back to Dagestan
Volk thought he won the last fight , so he had hope , plus Islam called him Out on taking the fight because he volk had nothing to loose and everything to gain . Islam was putting the belt on the line , he didn’t know he was gonna fight volk but still accepted it . Volk was greedy , and Islam knew he had him . And just wanted to shut the whole convo about how he barely beat volk in the last fight , no one can say anything now .
Not true 😮 nugeria was tapping profusely from the pain, that was the most ironic thing that no one seems to notice, they all tap after limbs snap, Silva didn't but thats possible because of all the juice he was on, 😮
Volk and Islam are two of my 3 top fav fighters, so I was super disappointed when Volk took the second fight on such short notice. Dumbest decision in an otherwise flawless career. He’d already felt Islam’s level in the first fight, how the hell did he think he could get off the couch with a barely healed hand and win the fight? Someone should have stopped him
That's exactly why volks a goat, he was not only the best and beat everyone but never turned down fights yet stayed true to the fighting spirit and went short notice? If anything that adds not takes away even if I didnt work out. Fun fight and retire
Islam nor volk destroyed volks career, UFC is to blame for that. Its unfair to offer such big money apportunity for a fighter who is focusing on another plan, so much mental pressure wheather to gamle agree or refuse such money.
I would say it’s more pride than money, Volk has got so many sponsors and collaborations outside of the ufc that he can make plenty of money without ever fighting again. I think he genuinely just loves the sport and wants to fight as much as he can while he can, not for money, but simply because he loves the sport. He’s even mentioned struggling mentally when not fighting because he doesn’t know what to do with himself.
Islam himself said he doesn't go over 183lbs outside of camp and that he's very careful about this and doesn't let himself go. I don't believe he gets up to 190. Perhaps once he finally makes the move to 170 he'll bulk up a bit to the 190-200 range, but for now he doesn't weigh that much imo
Just don’t bullshit for the sake of ur podcast !! If Alex won’t take it then Abu Dhabi card is a disaster. So to take up the fight they paid Alex heavy . But he took the risk to fight Islam who is prepared and he is totally unprepared . We saw when Alex is prepared how he made Islam struggle don’t forget that. And with Topuria , Alex won’t the first round. It’s just that he was caught in that moment and Topuria should be appreciated of his skill. And with belal he ended up bleeeding at the end of fight . So just don’t talk some nonsense for podcast .
Bullshot he's getting old that's why. Everyone has an expiry date volk went for it and damn near beat makachev in the first fight. You even saw makachev stall to get the w Bollocks just bollocks
either volk or his team was too greedy. lost to a dehydrated Islam. every one can see Islam was not the monster we are used to. he did not look big compared to volk. but still volk lost then accepts a short notice fight. gets knocked out by Islam and comes back quickly against topuria. another ko. they should have just kept accepting fights after than. they already ruined his career just keep milking any money they can get now. why rest. imagine volk before Islam. people were talking about him as goat. even oliveira before Islam.
Rogan is one of the biggest casuals I’ve ever seen. Ilia didn’t land a Hail Mary shot that had never put anyone out. He landed his right hook that he set up by backing volk against the fence. We have seen that setup several times and it flatline people. Volk even said before the fight he couldn’t let ilia back him up. Islam didn’t put volk out cold with a head kick, and that shot would’ve KOd volk regardless.
And then you can say that Volk got knocked out by Islam because he fought on short notice. That way, you take all credit from Topuria AND Islam. The excuses are just ripe for the picking, lol

Joe your full of crap
Rogan is one of the biggest casuals I’ve ever seen. Ilia didn’t land a Hail Mary shot that had never put anyone out. He landed his right hook that he set up by backing volk against the fence. We have seen that setup several times and it flatline people. Volk even said before the fight he couldn’t let ilia back him up. Islam didn’t put volk out cold with a head kick, and that shot would’ve KOd volk regardless.
And that, gentlemen, is how you take all credit from Topuria and overate Islam. Wait and see.
Lol
And then you can say that Volk got knocked out by Islam because he fought on short notice. That way, you take all credit from Topuria AND Islam. The excuses are just ripe for the picking, lol
Christianity is P4P GOAT, not Islam.
Nah Islam is the p4p GOAT 💪
