This dude has consistently shown me why it’s important to remember where you come from. You can be athletically gifted and all that, but having that heart is what makes you a champion. All the hard work paying off, all the sacrifices and dedication to the craft. Whether win or lose this dude will forever be a champion. May the best man win fight night!
Funny how you can pull such random wisdom directly out of your blown out Bootie Hole...
Volk is ABSOLUTELY GOING TO GET ROAD LIKE A 6 INCH HOG AND ISLAM IS PARIS HILTON
Volk will spark Islam end of 1st start 2nd in a way Adriano did it
Wollongong.
LMAOOOOOO VOLK IS GETTING KNOCKED OUT AND I WANT YOU ALL TP REMEMBER I SAID IT
@@zumizm1 keep dreaming. He never sparks anyone out and you think he will now? Islam will ragdoll him in the ground a choke him out.
Honorable man. More mma guys should follow his lead
@Mr. E are ALL white people worthy of your love??
@IAS reported
@IAS Yawn zzzz
LMAOOOOOO VOLK IS GETTING KNOCKED OUT AND I WANT YOU ALL TP REMEMBER I SAID IT
@@awex7 Why are you shouting?
Alex is EXACTLY what a fighter should be ! He doesn't just wanna win.. he wants to win only against the absolute best opponents he can get & leave no doubt about who's the best P4P !!
You could say he's got all that type of stuff that makes a true champion
I like him but hope he gets tapped out. He fights for a country that is one of worst in the world, there Covid restrictions and imposing on freedoms is downright scary af. Backwards country
LMAOOOOOO VOLK IS GETTING KNOCKED OUT AND I WANT YOU ALL TP REMEMBER I SAID IT
Volk just doesn't have the size to beat Islam. I mean, Islam is already the biggest lightweight in the division and he rag dolls every light weight he gets ahold of. Look how close Ortega was to submitting Volk, now imagine ISLAM having Volk in the same position. Volks not getting out of that one.
@@johnnguyen6469
He opposes neoliberal/labor politics.
Volks mindset and confidence is next level🇦🇺
THIS MIDGET WILL GET SUBMITTED QUICK
Not far long after he's done conquered...
@@mazarrazzaq1967 Volk is fighting up its not as impressive if Islam wins
@@kingt0295 that's not doing Volk any justice. He'll give Islam a harder time than Charles did and realistically speaking has a better chance in beating Islam than most of the other guys in LW do.
@@kingt0295 not impressive? You fight volk and put him away like Islam might
"All that type stuff " "you know what I mean" Alexander Volskanovski the legend
@hatsapp2607tell JIM to smd :)
Volk embodies what a UFC champ should be 👌
You mean Max Holloway.
@Mr. E Valentina and Weili can kick the butts of a lot of guys. Sport is sport. Skill is skill. Open your mind.
@Mr. E hahaha. you weirdo
@Mr. E who tf asked u
@Mr. E in general yes, I agree.. Men should be fighting, not women... BUT, the women do their thing ! Can't be mad at any of them.. Nunez would likely beat my ass 🤣
Volk is the homie, dude is the real deal and I hope he wins, he doesn’t cry about shot and got his acclaim through hard work and performances.
Volk's pure class & respect
So is Islam sooooooo....anyways I like both guys but if I had to bet money, Islam will finish Volk, you'll all see Saturday.
@@michealortiz3350 lol islam is supposed to win, it’s way more impressive for volk to pull off a win here than islam.
He’s really grown on me his past 3-4 fights, I really hope he gets it done!
I'm a fan since the first Holloway fight. His style of fighting is so impressive to watch, he made Holloway and Korean Zombie look like kids.
Same way I feel.
Win or lose, Volk is more present than ever. It's going to be a good show for sure 🔥
Volk has a chip on his shoulder. Everyone is doubting him and I think that is motivating him to whoop some ass this Saturday. Not sure if he’ll win, but I think it will become very competitive if he does win the whole MMA scene is going to go crazy
If he does he enters GOAT contention imo. Islam seems unbeatable, Volk I think is the only one who has a shot. Very excited for this fight
@@malcolmlaprairie5115 i think Dariush has a good chance of beating Islam.
I love volk but islam in khabib's corner is just another level. which would probably be his most challenging fight yet.
@@dornishred6033 slim but anything could happen in the ufc. look at usman vs edwards.
@ias7987HES GONNA GET SPANKED FAST ,HES A MIDGET COME ON
All the Volk haters better come back to this video after he wins Saturday 💪 Sooo many people doubting him
what if i like both lol
Islam is gonna choke him to sleep in the first round
@@calvincalvin3132 ikr same
I like his fighting style,but as it was proven by a lot of guys in the past years,a great bjj or wrestling fighter will always win
NO ONE HATES VOLK, ITS JUST CONOR MCGREGOR PARASITE FANS JUMPING INTO HIS BANDWAGON
I want Volk to win this fight more than almost any other fight outcome ever. It would be such an awesome moment
round 2 or 3 choke sowwyyyyyyy if islam loses khabib should exile islam from dagestan
Im with you. I hope Volk wins. But I fear Islam
Why do you want him to win? To prove that the Dagestani's can be beaten??
@@TheDomLouis because he's one of my favourite fighters and I'd love to see him achieve double champ.
More than conor vs khabib ?
At 65 try and chill in todays world. Back in the day, this is man I would be grateful to know. Volkman perhaps will surprise a lot of people. Stay safe fight well mate.
Shurrup old man
@@endofdayzfitnessu.k2126 Now son, that is not nice.....lol.
Volk grew on me over the years. He’s a stud and I hope he wins and becomes double champ.
LMAOOOOOO VOLK IS GETTING KNOCKED OUT AND I WANT YOU ALL TP REMEMBER I SAID IT
True, in the beginning i didnt really like him, but he doesnt take the short route at all, fights anybody. Like against Holloway, he beat him twice it was clear who is the better and the third time he left no questions behind, he dominated.
@awex7 If he loses it will be decision or submission lol. I want YOU to remember I said it lmaoooooo
@@awex7 u cringe
@@awex7 Probably but Islam is only capable of winning vs glorified featherweights like his mate Khabib. Hope Volk wins regardless.
How can anyone not root for this guy.
Don't think I've ever wanted a fighter to win as much 👏👊
oh yeah!
It depends who he is fighting with, both him and Islam are true gentlemen. So hard to choose who you would like to win.
You probably said the same thing about Charles in his fight against Islam 😂
@@washifwazeer1619 Probably
Go Volk we all know you can pull this off love and respect from all Aussies
Same here in US ....Islam can't handle that mans speed or power..
this guy is the real deal man. Regardless of the outcome on saturday, We need more champions like him in the UFC
I honestly don’t care who wins .. they’re both amazing fighters. I just can’t wait to see how it goes down
Crazy how undersold this card is, this’ll be one for the real fans who know what’s at stake. Alex is such a humble guy, hope he gets the double belts in front of his home crowd 🙏🏼
Bang on should be everywhere. is it because of being in Australia… 6am here in england if u like octogenarians then this is one to watch,p4p champ vs champ what isn’t to like cmon vod
If Volk goes up and double champs over mini-khabib he's instantly in the goat talk for me.
Trouncing Holloway in that 3rd fight already puts him at goat status of one division.
Good shout this
People keep forgetting Volks special trick if they didn't notice it before at all. This guy is literally the best "In the box" Striker the UFC has seen. He knows when your going to be in his range and as soon as you enter his zone he hits you hard and fast. Just watch his fights. Him being short and small arms is actually an advantage to him. Watching max round 2 he showcases this alot you'll see what I'm talking about. He's definitely gonna mess up Islam's face for sure.
Agreed , but hes got a longer reach than Islam apparently. I've watched him maul bigger guys in rugby different game tough call but I recon Volk can do it.
He has a one inch reach advantage over Islam
If he can keep it standing he’s gonna ruin islams face but I hate to say if it goes to the ground then it’s gonna be the other way around or a quick submission. Them Dagestan boys ain’t no joke. Best of luck to Volkanovski though. Hope he proves me wrong and wins.
Unfortunately this fight will go to the ground,
And nobody, not even Volk have any answers to that relentless holding down and mauling, that these sambo wrestling specialists exercise.
The Aussie and New Zealand fighters really do seem to have the old school attitudes of taking on the hardest challenges. Between Volk, Izzy, Bobby knuckles etc they're always taking the hardest fights! Really hoping this guy gets the W this weekend!
That list needs a Mark Hunt.
Volk is a true warrior!Moving up in weight to fight a beast!
Proper champ. The way he handles himself, speak, remains humble while being confident. Hats off Champ ! Much respect to you
The most typed comment no matter what figgter is being interviewed.
Why does it matter if they are humble or not , they fight in a cage for a living , fk being humble , they deserve to talk shit and be arrogant, they knock mfs out for pay tf
Loved his shoutout to Whittaker, respect
So pumped for this fight! TEAM VOLK ALL DAY
Alex ‘The all that type of stuff’ Volk 😅
Proud of you man
And just go win it all 👊
Regurgitating something u heard. Yawn
"And new"
Let's go Volk! 🦍🎯🇦🇺🔥
I feel like Volk knows something we don’t. I’m rooting for Volk and hope he comes away with the W. I just don’t see many ways he can win. If he does pull it off I see it being an absolute war till the very end.
If he can keep his hips down and stuff Islam, Islam is going to get embarrassed standing up. If not, it’s an uphill battle. Greet fight tbh
Volk staring into the abyss of eternal greatness. He will get there. Alexander the bloody great.
He shall fail against the man of god Islam makhachev
Shurrup ya wet wipe .
@@endofdayzfitnessu.k2126 aka poop
Let’s go Alex , can’t wait for this one . 💯👊
Him shouting out rob for setting the table for him. Shows what a stand up man volk is.
Volk is class, win lose or draw he is a legend already

Man I've come to Love Volk during this build up. Just a solid dude, class act, respectful, seems to love what he does, and just an absolute beast of an martial artist. Just brilliant! Deserves all the admiration and praise he gets. Just an outstanding champion. Didnt complain about the judges nothing just a class act in the build up and aftermath. Gained a lifelong fan here
For all Conor fans, Alex answers about Mcgregor on 4:32
Thanks man
thanks bro
19:15 --- that final segment will be like something out of movie,Volk going be massive after victory Sunday. I'm inspired by this man's confidence,go Champ go.
Man, this guy is such a gentleman. Saturday is gonna be so bittersweet lol almost wish this fight was canceled. But at the same time that's the sport we love, right? So let the best man win!
Wishing both of these absolute units good luck both seem like stand up guys
Maybe it’s just volks confidence and mindset that convinces me he can do this but the way he wants to prove it to everyone who needs to be lifted up and believe in themselves…I think he really can shock everyone and fingers crossed! Either way, he dared to try and that’s epic. Money on him.
My 🧠 says Islam but my ❤️ says Volk. My mum always say follow your heart. And thats what I'm doing. LETS GO VOLK.
i think makachev will win but anything can happen hes been caught before..
@@dillianwhyte443e to
He has to sell you on the idea that he can win to promote the fight. And the only mma fight he's lost was at 170lbs, so it's not surprising that he's so confident. Unfortunately that has no bearing on how the fight will unfold, because his confidence doesn't truly take into account what Islam brings to the table---how could it when he's never experienced Islam's abilities first hand?
I see so many comments basing Volk's likelihood of winning on how confident he is. I just think Islam's game is not only harder to deal with but harder to prepare for, and because of that I think he's rightfully the betting favorite. But I am rooting for Volk.
@@seanmatthewking agree
COME BACK TO THIS WHEN VOLK WINS! CHAMP CHAMP!
Would you put money on it? Lol
@@paulwilliam8176 yes
@@himathyjenkins Same here it's the bet to make regardless.
Hoping he gets it done hes such a genuine guy
What a solid guy. He is a great champion. Soon to be champ champ.
not very soon.,maybe after makhachev leave LW devision
Same thing they said about charles
Can't wait for the fight. I actually believe he will go for a double leg straight away and gat a take down at some point just to shock the world. I think volks got a good chance. He's underrated in this fight by too many people
The respects he has fir mcgregor is wholesome
He respects the paycheck, not the person.
"In case I win, I should say it wouldn't be crazy for Conor to be given a title shot"
@@davidwilliamson8502 every fighter on the roster. all the greats respect mcgregor. khabib respects him. any true mma fan respects him
changed the sport forever gotta give some praise
@@squill40 he's lost a lot of respect since he changed his priorities and became a loud mouth, money chasing drunk. That said, he's accomplished a lot in the sport in his early days so yeah he'll get respect for that
being a nepali i love volk and i am cheering for him u can do it man kick dagistani ass n prove the world y u are no 1 pvp no 1 fighter of the world
Volk is an absolute legend. Going to shock the world today.
He certainly is. I was shocked at how his performance, I really wasn't expecting him to put up much of a fight. I guess Khabib was right when he said that Alex would be the toughest challenge for Islam.
Love watching this guy, great athlete. If he wins this, hopefully he gets the financial respect he deserves!
I’m such a big fan of Volk man. Such a genuine guy. Idc what the outcome is. I’ll forever be a fan of this man
I would like to see him win dude but idk honestly 😐
Volks confidence makes me want to go drop another 500 on him at 4-1 odds . Let’s get this bread champ 💪🏻
save your money. majority of his ufc wins are decisions.
Bob, pal, fella, drop me 500 and feel happy you've helped a poor bastard out eh 🙏
@@teleskopossomnium even if he does win by decision I’ll still be collecting 💰
@@PREPARETODIE I too am poor bro just confident he wins
Volk is the type of guy that you actually genuinely want as a friend.
Honest
Sincere
Loyal
And best of all.......
Real!
You are indeed a good role model, man.
I truly hope both the belts are around this mans waist come Sunday.
short stud got my vote .. that 1% of short guys out there that hold there own he's apart of that club . Dont think he has any chance but would be a blessing to see him do the job
During the Max series I couldn't stand Volk, but I have really grown to respect this man. He is one he'll of a fighter, and seems to be a good man. Much respect to you volkanovski
I hope Volk wins it, fights Connor and gets the biggest pay day of his entire life and beats that cash cow. He’s one of the most humble guys out there.
to call mcgregor just a cash cow is as anti an mma fan as you could be

My man, Alex Bulkanovski 💪👊
Volk is a solid dude, rooting for him🎉
I'm rooting for him too, but the only chance he's got is a first round knockout. If he doesn't get a KO in the first round the fight is already over, unfortunately
@@Benjy86 Cant argue with that, the longer the fight goes the more dangerous Islam becomes.
The humility of both fighters and respect for one another is is exactly how it always should be......yes there is always a little trash talk,but not on the disrespect side.
Rooting for you Volk! Hope you will show everyone they shouldn't ever underestimate you!
Amazing message from Volk from minute 19:00 till the end mic drop. Champ-champ mindset 👊
I agree 💯
Gayyyyyy
God damn! What a finish! VOLK! SHOCK THE WORLD!!!
I'm looking forward to seeing Volk on the way to the octagon with that great song . I'm gonna have goosebumps
Hell yeah lol
Love both Islam and volk man one
Of those fights where I don’t want either to lose lol such a good fight for the sport though so much respect to both of them can’t wait to watch
I'd almost bet on his confidence alone
Glad you said confidence and not arrogance. Big difference between the two
Putting Conor name in the title for views is crazy😂
this channel is owned by conor 💀
I viewed it because😅
Conor = views
Bro whatever it takes to get eyes on VOLK
When the reporter asked,
“Cejudo?”
Volk should’ve replied,
“Say Who Doe…? Who dafuq is that..?”
Lmao
GSP/Serra 1 comes to mind… anything can happen…
Man i love how volk isn't underestimating Islam but hes still confident
Volk’s a little meatball I don’t underestimate his strength to deal with larger opponents
That’s a weird statement. Frankie Edgar. Chad mendes. Being small doesn’t mean you’re not strong. And no I don’t have little man syndrome I’m 5’11 but don’t doubt shorter dudes lol. I just don’t like the shorter dudes who feel like they have something to prove all the time
@@urrealdadlolololol4204 5'11 is little man syndrome
@@urrealdadlolololol4204 you read the comment incorrectly.
@@darfish2769 5’11 is literally a inch off 6 feet. What are you talking about lol I’m the same height as most welterweights lmao
@@urrealdadlolololol4204 the original comment says they DON’T underestimate his strength. Your response was as if he said otherwise
To get double champ and beat machchev in the process could put him RIGHT there next to Jon Jones. Let’s go Volk. Get this shit done. We want another double champ
This is massive recency bias in my personal opinion. Jones won his title so young and has a huge amount of defences. Of course his controversies have tainted his legacy but his resumé cannot be disregarded.
Jones has the opportunity to do the same thing with Gane. Hes far off Jon.
Next to GSP Jon popped for roids like 5 times lol
@@kingt0295 Once lmao.
Love Volk and respect for sure for challenging himself. Unfortunately he’s probably going to come up short (pun intended) on this one.
Begging I’m wrong…. PLEASE prove me wrong Alex.
I was a huge Max Holloway fan so it took a bit for me accept that Volk is the man at 145. Styles make fights, i think Volks striking and short tanky stature could present problems for Islam. We will see, very hype for this fight. Islam is very good at what he does.
Mic drop at the end was brilliant
Alexander “All that typa stuff” Volkanovski
😄🤣
If Volk wins and than Conor wins than somehow face each other would be wild!
Volk is getting finished
Conor ain’t ever getting a title shot because Volk ain’t winning cos Islam will smoke him
I’d rather see Conor vs Islam with the khabib build up . And I think that’s exactly what they’re planning this fight with Conor is 170 pounds which is severely in Conor advantage and if Conor wanted a name at 170 masvidal would’ve been the way it’s clear this is for a 155 ranking the fight with volk vs Islam is severely under promoted they are going to market it as Conor giving Islam a chance at the spotlight and it will do just as much if not more than khabib vs Conor
Nah he need to defend the title with the winner of yair and emmet. UFC can’t keep vacant champ for too long.
*THEN.
Frightening how often people can't spell simple 4 letter words.
Man he might actually be the guy to beat one of these Dagestani wrestlers
plenty have?
Calculated "risk". The gentleman Alex is politely saying "stand up". Good luck to both of them. Best fight in a long time
Volk has power and not the kind you use to enforce. His words hold strength, don't ever give up on yourself, you know who you are.
I like this comment. describes volks energy exactly very insightful
Can’t wait for Saturday, It’s been awhile since I’ve been this stoked for a fight!
It'll be a fast submission or best fight you've ever seen.
All that type of stuff is back, Volk Volk Volk

Volk is a humble dude and great speaker....
I'm rooting for you Volk....

I've doubted Alex before, I won't make that mistake again. Idk if he gets the win but I wouldn't be surprised. Nothing but respect, good luck with becoming champ champ, champ.
I'm short guy and I can understand where Volk is coming from I train with bigger men almost everyday and it makes no difference
He's a legend, take that belt home man
Let's go volk! New Zealand has your back too!
Tommorow is the press conference people.
I'm sure, these two guys will have some heat btw them.
like last time in press conf. against Olivera.
I hope to see an intense staredown rather than friendly one
Volks always said he tries to generate some internal hate for his opponent, even if it's based on bullshit he tells himself to amp up.
this guy could lowkey be the best fighter of all time .
Lol huh?
he could easily clown the rest of featherweight though. he hasn't really cleared the division
@@wuhlfzebayne he beat max 3 times aldo ortega he has beaten the best of 145
Fvgc fuck u mean huh? This dude is fucking great beat champions. I tell u what his resumay is a lot better then Khabibs… say something
Stop talking absolute nonsense.
Volk is a great fighter with a real chance to win , his will to win and technique is incredible, both great fighters , great guys
Man tough task for Volk but man I can’t pick against him , LFG Volko 👊🏼
Why is this fight not being promoted at all? This is gonna be CRAZY.
Because it’s going to be a one-sided fight. Islam is going to dominate Volk on his feet and on the ground.
Because it's not in Abu Dhabi
No slimy sheiks bankrolling it or Dana White's hypebeasts, no promotion
dont need it...its the biggest fight ever.
Very false this ppv won’t do many buys
Let’s go Volk!!! 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 with you
Nahhh my guy 🇺🇸 with Islam all day.
Good lucky my boy you need it
I've seen Alex fight here in Guam, before he went to the UFC, he hasn't lost since. I have a feeling he's gonna take this belt
Massive respect for any grinder, who will stay active and take chances moving up and down weight
Shooting doubles from the get go🤣🤣 My guy!!
The King 👑
Volk is a great guy and even better champ
Mutual respect between fighters is unequivocal. Class shows when you give props to the other guy.
Its 3 to 1 for a reason. Lets go Volk! ALEX THE GREAT! Show em what this south pacific got brother!
that's a man's man. going up as a underdog , fighting the challenge and not starving himself to fight smaller men and then retiring prematurely.
You nailed it brother respect ✊🤙🏴
@@peterbalac1915 I think he's a top fighter man, Kebab, just don't think he's the GOAT,,,that's all....
