Lot of money and nothing to lose, i would also take the fight , i also have huge respect for him,don't get me wrong,but he can get ppv money and still be the champ at his weight division
The amount of respect the 2 fighters has shown to each other is truly the pinnacle of what this sport is and should be. In comparison with the (crossover boxing) scene.
They both know they are the peak. Everyone else is looking at them. They are the most dangerous at their own weight. Islam is more dominant at his weight than volk could be at 155 imo But volk has the style and body type to beat Islam
I'm a huge Makhachev fan, so I'll be rooting for him in this fight. But, regardless of the outcome in the ring, I genuinely hope and pray for Volkanovski's success in health, finances, family, mental well-being, and happiness. My support for Makhachev in the fight doesn't diminish the respect I have for Volkanovski as a person. He's a terrific role model for how to conduct oneself in life.
TNT formerly BT Sports have the best UFC coverage and easily the best promos for fights than anyone else. They have been must see when it comes to any UFC content.
@@ethancleaver1464wasnt he Volk in Perth when they fought the last time? When he couldn't do it in his home town with everything from the timing and crowd in his favour he certainly wont be doing anything this time either.
This man deserves huge respect taking the fight on 2 weeks notice against a man who controversially beat him, Volk got it all the striking the grappling the mma he could and probably will beat Islam.
@@kanehennessey4340He should never sniff a fight with Islam again if he loses this fight considering how disgraceful he and his team acted in the first fight
@@CiaraDupont he won’t say that after he loses this fight 😉 He is a humble guy and it’s more the Islam haters who repeat that the last fight was a robbery.
much respect for alex, most likely the GOAT featherweight, but he couldn't finish him with full camp and i think he made a mistake by taking this fight on short notice. Islam via submission is 4th or 5th. And still
Forget Islam and all these other fighters, Volk is built different he is the anatomy of a fighter. Always shows up no excuses, can do it all and always fighting.
It would be nuts to see Volk win the belt then later in Jan defend his own belt and after that in 2024 defend the Lightweight belt. That would be one hell of a life script for the ages.
Only difference is Volk still has his Championship belt with him (and defended it too) while pursuing lightweight glory. Guy really does live up to his nickname.
Volk is by far my most fav fighter right now! But I am not feeling confident about this one. Short notice fight against a monster like Makhachev! Doesn’t feel alright!
This man travelled almost halfway across the world, is gonna make weight and have a rematch with the UFC lightweight champ amd he's taking this fight on just 10 days notice! Alexander Volkanovski is a gangster that deserves respect. That being said, I think the champion will beat him again.
Watching it live in Perth at the event I thought Islam won. I absolutely love Volk but Islam won. That being said it would be absolutely amazing if Volk gets the win on the weekend. Let’s go Volk.
Watching the whole fight back with zero sound just shows me that Volk did won. Landed more strikes, did more facial damage, dropped him once and that’s that. Islam held onto Volk for dear life and even so, Volk was landing more punches and doing more damage. Take those minutes away from islam where he just stalled the fight doing nothing then what did he do in the fight? Nothing. He dropped Volk to a knee that’s it.
Allah has a plan for Volk. Because Volk is also Muslim, volk by decision or tko insjallah. Mackachev and Khabib are fake Muslims, look it up.there is a lot of proof. Volk is a real Muslim and Allah has plan for him this weekend. Just watch
Alex defended his Featherweight title 4 times, twice against Max before becoming the number 1 P4P. Islam won a vacant title and immediately became number 2 P4P? Jones wins his first fight in 3 years and instantly becomes the number 1 P4P? Alex repeatedly smashed Islam's face while he was in body triangles. Now he knows the judge's don't like that position so he'll break the triangles so hard that those ankles no longer work when upright. I'm looking forward to this. 😀
@@franciscobela-ong4957 I think the number of title defences is important for P4P. In their first fight, they won one round each with 3 close rounds. I thought Islam won 48-47 and that the 49-46 card was a bit harsh. Alex looked good in his last fight but Islam is well rested. It should be a great fight. I have Alex to finish the fight in any manner at 5.3-1.
If Volk gets in this fight with the mindset that he is fighting same Islam dehydrated in Australia with 12 hours recovery of weightcut and fighting early in the morning,he ll be in for big surprise! Islam will be totally different beast this time around, he is fighting for WW belt after this fight and he ll be p4p in the world, I truly believe this
Volk made a good point that I’ve been thinking of. The line to Makhachev was 2 fights deep and with how long Islam takes between fights, volks age, it could’ve all been factors in him not getting the rematch he deserved.
Amazing, we've got 1 of, if not the best squads in international football. I'm still not convinced about Southgate. Any decent manager would've won summat with this team already. If he doesn't deliver at the next tournament, then I think that he's got 2 go!

Betting: Islam (-300) vs Oliveira, and Islam (-265) vs Alex suggests Alex is the more dangerous opponent.
This man comes across as a honourable warrior.
Finally a reporter didn’t say “how’s the band” and then Volk have to correct them and tell them it was the elbow.. Way to prepare good Sir!
I think Alex wins this one seems like the hungrier fighter, may the best man win!
As an Islam fan, I still love the confidence of Volk. Impossible to dislike him
May the best man win

I dont sense any fear from volk towards islam even with 12 days notice and khabib in islam's camp. This guy is just loves this particular matchup.
The reign of the great, my favorite era in the ufc so far.
Really hope volk can win this time, he performed great last time out, and i thought he did enough to win.
I thought Volk won the first fight. Hope he gets it done in the second 👊
LOL your bias thinks he won.
I suggest u rewatch the first fight , at first i thought it was very close but when i rewatched it i could see the difference
Don’t do drugs. Islam dominated Volk 4-1 in the first fight
Dagestani guys are lucky..they get less powerful opponents..they always win decisions
@@mmahighlights5867 Bias? What?
Love u volk but islam is on a league of his own.

Very hard for him to beat a ballooned up heavier 200 pound Islam, but big respect to Volk.
I would love to see Volk get the win on Saturday
It would be nuts to see Volk win the belt then later in Jan defend his own belt and after that in 2024 defend the Lightweight belt. That would be one hell of a life script for the ages.
I really want Volk to do this it will be one of the biggest stories in ufc history man COME ON VOLK!
Hopefully volk will win 💪
Adam Catteral is one of the best interviewers out there
Great interview! Pass on the thumbnail tho.
Hopefully after Islam defeats him again in this rematch...he and his teammates doesn't comes out with any excuses and reasons.
(They’re making excuses already…)
Volk is something else a great champion a credit to our sport 👏
My prediction win or lose Alex won't be hurt by Islam and will walk out of there with a smile on his face.
Yeah...no

Every time both either belt was on the line he was either in the fight or made weight for the fight. That’s insane
Volk is by far my most fav fighter right now! But I am not feeling confident about this one. Short notice fight against a monster like Makhachev! Doesn’t feel alright!
It will not be the same MAkachev..trust me
Nice father son interview
Good luck to him hes a great fighter, im supporting islam but as long as its a great fight i dont think anyone will be too unhappy.

Volk speaking facts keeping both divisions busy without being champ 🤯
I'm still worried that Volks still has that left arm strapped up, with only a week till fight day.
I really hope he's fully fit this weekend!!
Somehow I’m not nervous for Islam as I was for him in the first fight.. I think this short guy will learn the hard way this time around
Nah Islam got exposed the first time, volk has some of the best adjustments
After the misfits nonsense, I am so ready for this fight. I think Volk will win by points. Don't see a knockout personally, but it will be a war.
Volk knows he ain't getting a decision in this fight if it's as close as everyone thinks.
Ok

"Islam.won a vacant title" way to downplay absolutely streaming through Charles who people were saying was the lightweight goat
How many times can Volk tell the exact same stories the exact same way?
I wanted to watch this, but islam already bulldozed volki, so I guess it's obsolete 😅
elite. but not as good as islam
If volks win, he should fight colby or leon to became triple champ, the reason is because colby and leon looks beatable by islam and volks
People overhype volk so much and he let it get to his head. He's in for a rude awakening
He’s a dominant champ in his devision and made the first fight with Islam extremely competitive. He deserves the hype he gets
The goat
It’s just not worth it in my opinion, he won the first fight. Now he doesn’t even get a full camp before the rematch.
