He didn't shoot with 100% intensity he simply used it to plant a seed in Volks mind. Conditioned Volk to believe the wrestling would be a consistent threat early on. Hence, when Islam says Volk was using too much strength in the clinch that's a successful sign that Volk was stressing. He entirely shifted Volk's focus. Dropped his hands with the body and leg kicks and then knocked him out. Islam's lowkey a mastermind.
dude is not even close to the goat debate wtf. needs more wins against contenders his legacy/resume still weak af compared to others..only 2 notable opponents lmao
😂😂 he has 2 fucking defenses you casual fools throw the Word GOAT around way too much... Islam already popped for roids and is on PEDS like all Dagestanis including Khabob
Volkanovski is my favourite fighter, but i have to give massive props to islam for that amazing performance. People really need to stop sleeping on his standup game
Both warriors , as a Aussie I take my hat off to Islam he definitely shut up all the people that say he lost the first fight , that’s a straight 2-0 for Islam vs Volk
@@nme_mma He def did. Cleanly won rounds 4 and 5. Round 2 was close but on stars Volk won and he was controlling most of the round. Even round 3 was close. Only clean round win for Islam was 1, and even that wasn’t clean of a w as rounds 4 and 5 for Volk
I was once in AKA for their tour for aspiring athletes, some instructor said fighting is like a chess match you set traps and plan all the way to the end.. I didn’t know about that but this is so real now.
@@violetrose6014That’s cause of his background, father’s training, Khabib’s superior grip strength n just overall strength not to mention Super hard chin.
it hurt like hell like i actually felt like my family member died when volk went down, but oh my god was Islam’s technique just GORGEOUS. I trained in taekwondo and the placement on volk’s head was just MAGNIFICENT, still sucked ass tho
Khabib and islam should’ve had alot of title defense if they were given privileges. Literally, had islam been given privilege to fight top fighters early, oliveira would probably be not champion. This is similar to khabib, when RDA became champion. They really made champions and former champions look like amateurs
honestly after Khabib fought RDA we can't really blame UFC because khabib got surgey and off for 2 years. but in his comeback UFC definetely UFC's fault
@kareemabdallah You're right, both were cool each other at first, even Connor has a lot of respect to Khabib so do Khabib. but all of that went down because UFC give him fake contract. and to make things worse there's a Artem talking shit on khabib on national TV in russia. and all hell just broken lose
it’s amazing how ALMOST every Russian fighter in the UFC has basically mastered English but the Brazilians can’t be bothered. Not only do the Russians beat the Brazilians in fighting IQ , but their social IQ is much more heightened as well. They know it’s important to be multilingual in a sport rooted in the English language.
Kinesthesia is wild. As fighters we gather a lot of information of this stuff. Sometimes you get in their head but what’s more important is learning in the moment. That way you can stack efforts accordingly to exceed in competition. I know wrestlers like to feel the leg “lemme feel the leg” boxers skip all the time to check speed. If you’re an mma fighter you have all this built in understanding of how things should be, and when you feel it, articulating is hard cause you have to literally feel the other dudes brain sending connections to his arm or feet or his body and register in your head “he’s not using his legs to grapple or he’s using is arms to grapple he’s using power he shouldn’t I will catch him in striking.”
Wtestlers do this all the time they clinch before trying to get a TD just to feel the strength of their opponent so they can adjust the amount of energy they should spend to get one
I just appreciate that the edit didnt include the KO itself. It was ugly, and the way Volk was fighting to stay conscious and get up despite everything was
I think what Islam was saying is Volk is using too much strength but wasn’t using it right & Islam could use it against Volk. I remember in the clinch telling my self Volk is strong enough to keep Islam there but isn’t smart enough to get him down & maybe when he tries, Islam will get him down or reverse the position. I remember before the fight commenting that Islam could improve by using that rear leg Teep or kick to the body & head since Volk is vulnerable there, has been exposed by Islam, Yair & Max before but no one fully capsulised on it until Islam did now. Another thing I’ve realised in Volk vs Islam 1 & Max vs Volks 2, Volk did have a tendency to duck or lean to his inside when close or in the clinch. Islam did hit him with a knee & Max constantly used uppercuts, while Islam used knees but Islam didn’t do it enough & Max wasn’t powerful enough to completely stop Max. Islam in their second fight did use a lot more knees on the clinch the second time around. I think Islam getting a 24h rehydration period does help that he’s much stronger than their first encounter & did look like they studied Volk a ton.
You think it was the 24hr dehydration? I think it was the fact he was fighting a recently injured 145er on 11 days notice but I guess I'm just a casual.
@@USFCpresident I felt like Islam would win, maybe be late KO or by a more dominant decision but that round 1 KO surprised me. Don’t think any months, week or days notice would’ve changed anything because Volk has a tendency that he’s been doing for ages, he was open for that kick & Islam exposed it.
@@USFCpresident Volk couldnt find answer to Islam's bodykicks in their first fight. He said his team analysed the fight and always ready for a rematch anytime before he got tko by the same kick that tko him years ago, so ready or not he still have the same weakness as he did before and islam did his homework well.
@@USAAMERICAFUCKYEAH77 many people will say this. do you really think volk only train 11 days? go look at his own social media. Volk trains everytime and regularly. to me this is a stupid answer if he is not trained why did he accept the offer from DANA WHITE? bro this is a real fight this is MMA not WWE, won't he want to embarrass himself if he doesn't train and just goes to fight? So bored to this answer anywhere😂
His English is getting better and better, just like his skills lol. Can't wait for the Gaethje fight, he'll have to be relentless with his takedowns like Khabib was, that's the way you beat Gaethje. Islam's striking is really good but standing with Gaethje and tanking his leg kicks is not recommended unless you want to be a paraplegic by 50.
Mighty Mouse actually called this on his own TH-cam channel before the fight. He was breaking down their first fight and he was like “all Islam has to do is kick Volk, because it’s exactly what Adriano did to me.” And it makes sense, he also said “that body kick will be there all day for Islam because Volk is the shorter fighter, he will have to either create more distance or step up every time a kick lands to the body.” And Islam set him up perfectly.
He did what he said ....he's good . Imagine him im feeling how string he is.....also were the weaknesses are of Volk .100/00 Well planned ...Alhamdulillaah...
