Best most skilled trilogy in MMA.

Respect to Volk he wiped every one.

@@davidpineda9160 Agreed. Featherweight has had some crazy good fighters at the top of the pile. Aldo, Volk, and Max all looked unstoppable at their peak.

Well put, sir

@@Chopper51138 If Conor had decided to stay at that weight he would have been actually truly unstoppable

beat him to the punch every time

Most definitely true, buuut you can't deny max is a really good fighter, one of the best strikers in his class in my opinion 💯

@UKpostsAccount 3-0 means a lot brother!!!

@@RamanSingh-vx2rp cm punk solo’s

Alex will be schooled by someone thinking he’s all this stuff in lightweight

Yes him and izzy recently talked about how defense is what got them that far

The way he talks about his training, he seems very meticulous in everything he does. I think it was his most recent fight with Yair that he said he hurt his arm in training and couldn’t block the high kicks in training like he was used to and that he realised it got him in a worse defensive position based on that muscle memory alone in the fight. He seems to really respect the fundamentals.

He did it against topuria

@@nozone4109 So you just go around after the fact to say this?

@@nozone4109this shows that you don’t even understand what you are talking about. Volkanovski didn’t lose to Topuria because he dropped his guard. That would be an insult to Topurias skill. The reality is Topuria cut off the cage so that Volkanovski had no where to circle off to and then he landed an overhand which is the kryptonite to Volk’s defense of leaning his head back. Normally fighters would not be able to execute this weakness because they don’t have the boxing to trade with Volk or they don’t have the wrestling to stop Volk from taking them down. That’s why Topuria beat Volk. Not cause Volk dropped his guard.

Absolutely agree with you. Watch his yair Rodriguez fight again. He looked horrible that fight. He looked like that against a guy who hasn’t fought in 2 years. I knew max was gonna lose the second the announced this fight

@@Lucas-uf2yk he wasn't shit Yair is that good bro...Volk is untouchable

@@Lucas-uf2yk stop hating on max and give him the respect he deserves. Still got bodied but he deserves respect

@@joelcook117 he got bodied

@@joelcook117 he is still respected but he was destroyed by Volk. No other way around it

Especially for someone as stocky as he is

Volk's gotten so much better since their second meeting and he's figured Holloway's style out to a T. No question who the better fighter is anymore, Volk might well be the guy to catch up to Aldo.

@@madgavin7568 he realized that he couldn't let Holloway gain momentum and had to cut him off immediately with a combo which meant he had to have crazy stamina to throw combos everytime he would come in. Unbelievable pace set by volk.

want alex vs islam and porier and chandler

And now volks era is over in the face of gods soldier inshallah and still ☝🏼 ☝🏼☝🏼Islam take him to deep ocean and finish him🦅

Hopefully this trilogy doesn't take from his longevity

Exactly. Alex is 10 years ahead of the game at this point.

Max has been fighting since he was like 16 and has absorbed a lot of damage, he's on the natural downslope of his career that all fighters will go through.

@@davidpineda9160 Yeah he has a terrible CTE or something, he’s pretty much done for.

@@tastyfresh9676 Now that's stupid lol

@@davidpineda9160 You’re telling me you think he’s right in the head? Go watch his latest interview

0:51 bodyshot by alex

@The Hard Stuff Then you are either new to the Internet or haven't spent that much time on it. You'll literally see that everywhere, MMA geappling guys belittling boxing.

@The Hard Stuff Bruh you literally have the internet in the palm of your hand, we don't even need to have this discussion. Look it up

Most people don't understand Boxing. Wrestling is easier for the eye to see so it gets praised more

Yes and a fantastic striking defense

Super iron chin!

Yes especially with his straight right where Alex was walking to his left to smother or force it and couner off of it

Oath man.

same with the yan fans

Max was fine, it was his annoying-ass fans that were the problem. Poor Volk couldn't catch a break on social media, almost every single post he made particularly on Instagram was swarmed with Max fans saying he lost the second fight and they were all the most upvoted comments. Volk putting this rivalry to bed in definitive fashion was a great way to shut them up.

Couldn't agree more, his fans were the most annoying fans I have ever witnessed, so happy this happened, I have nothing against max though he's a good guy its just the fans

@@flipf615 those fans got legitimacy. Across the majority of mma. Aljo on a magic carpet ride which his bitch attitude and judges on this side. Tf down kid😂 max fans got no excuses period end of story.

Mee

Islam the Coward the weight bully

Me

Saya

I'm currently watching his career great run. Which fighter beat the two p4p all time of his division

No jokes he's really moving like Mayweather in the fight Vs Corrales

😂😂😂

Lmao your joking right he has the record for absorbing most strikes in ufc

@@Charles-yf5bk I don't know of earlier fights but on the basis of clinic Vs KZ and Holloway I can think of no one better across the divisions

Volk's the best boxer in the UFC if anything.

Hahah literally every fight

Felt this too. This reminded me of Tony vs Gaethje

excuse

True. He outboxed the guy who claimed he's the best boxer in the UFC.

I can foresee this loss being the catalyst for a downturn in Max's career, he's never been beaten this badly. Its got to do a number on your confidence as well as your brain.

Great fight two p4p guys

Damn I’ve never even seen someone pull that off lmao thanks for pointing that out

Nah, Max was a champion and a winner. Nate is just a glorified punching bag

Won't hurt you? So you're saying Max didn't hurt Ortega? You can be hurt by volume, my friend. Did you see what Pacquiao did to Margarito over a 12 rd fight? He didn't knock him out, but he turned his face into a swollen, purple mess.

Lol not even close, look at Max record vs Nate, who has been champion? Max or Nate?

R3tard moment

Max is an easy 3rd best featherweight ever and probably top 30 greatest ever. Nate was just a pretty good LW at his best.

tbh it's hard to name a fighter who's less exciting than Adesanya

@UKpostsAccount Well at least he grapples and strikes, he fights like a mixed martial artist. Adesanya just goes leg kicking at range for 25 minutes straight

People always gotta get that one nudge in on adesanya he can’t be that boring if he’s always talked about😂 lord knows I don’t talk bout boring people famous or not.

@UKpostsAccount 😴😴😴😴

@UKpostsAccount good thinking

The **

@@benpietrzykowski9216 aldo still owns that title, his resume is second to none in that class.

If volk beats 2 more contenders then I would put him at the FW goat. Longevity is what makes goats, not just quality of opposition

@@thenedsmmachannel8970 good for ur opinion. if any more contenders gon try I’m sure they going to get stumped by Max. Yair, Kattar all battled with Max and it’s crazy rn it’s not even a question to debate who the FW Goat is. FWs ain’t messing with him. Max is my guy but I gotta respect Volk. He doesn’t need to prove anything.

@@HasbiksRightHand na he still needs to, to cemet himself as GOAT. Add Emmett, Yair, and Allen to his resume? Goat status

Volk aint beating Islam, Islam too big.

@@murataydin2170 I agree. He’s going there because he’s smaller and he can toss him around. I want to see him against Khamzat

@@murataydin2170 you may get surprised on that one. If Volk works on his takedown defends and clinch counters he could win on points or catch Makhachev. Volk is in exceptional form and is getting better with every fight; he is the Islam of boxing. Volk could wear Islam down by beating his face around. Holloway 3, Ortega, and Zombie were his last three fights and all of them came out looking like they were in a severe motor vehicle accident. Two of the best at their styles with hearts and spirits equally big. It should be an inter-division trilogy match up for the ages.

Islam would literally takedown Volk against his will, this awfully reminds me of Porier vs Khabib where they said that he will face a whole different level of a striker who is a black belt bjj and that Khabib would get pieced up, not only didn't Porier lose his striking was ineffective, same will happen to Volk.

@@moonvenerable7897 poirer is a garbage striker compared to Volk, and Islam won’t keep Volk down as much as he’d like to do his work.

Volk was awful against topuria

The Jab is highly Underrated in MMA

Yes people forget the hype around Max's boxing before this

I believe he figured him out from the first fight.

You get hit in the chin hard enough it doesn't matter who you are your strength goes out the window.

He’s washed up

That’s why it’s important to always remain humble. If you humiliate others, you will be humiliated. If you honor and respect others, you will be honored and respected. If you taunt you will be taunted. That’s the rule of this round world, every thing that goes around literally comes right back around.

@@yenaponte4281 he is not. He was just outclassed. Volk made a huge jump of level, where max could not ever go.

@@yenaponte4281 He’s probably not washed up. He’s just the same old Max. Cardio cardio cardio and pillow punching pressure with a strong chin if you get countered. The one thing in common Dustin and Alex had to offer Max was they could max his cardio but had legit striking power to fire back. Max needs to rework his training partners or gyms or something. The sport learns to quickly to stay stale.

I'm a Volk fan but you guys sleep on Max. He's eaten more shots than anyone else in the UFC by almost double and had never been knocked out or down. I'm not making this up either, he is statistically pound for pound the toughest dude in the UFC.

Max isn’t a weight bully. It’s extremely hard for him to cut weight because of how lean his muscles are. A muscular guy like Michael Chandler, who weighs 185, can cut to 155 because he’s cutting water weight from bigger muscles. GSP had the same problem as Max, he was about 185 and had trouble cutting to 170 due to how lean his muscle was. This is entirely a guess, but I think Max walks into the cage at about 160. And we know for a fact that he weighs about 178 out of the cage.

Just Volk

He was just that dominant. It got hard to watch.

lol manny would obliterate volk

lol I'd like to see that 😁

@@cceproductions8435 lol manny will kill him it wont even be close boxers are more better than strikers

I give him maybe the second and third fight but Holloway won the first one.

Clown?

Man if you watch Volk easily getting up from under Mendes and others makes it interesting

But u have to be extremely talented.. otherwise it does matter

Yeah he is in his mid 30s so we have to enjoy while we got him. Islam fight is tough as hell though

He never got robbed he lost all three fights. His fans voices are loud

Best jab used in any mma fight was gsp kos 2.

Volk reach is more

Yeah his fight with kattar was crazy, I couldn't believe that he was getting outboxed by Volkonovski when I first watched it.

Your wish is granted!

Most important punch in fighting

Learn how to box better respect for maxi and me is Aussie, dropped the knees break the ribs

I got scared bro

Showed a different level of striking in that division

It's cause no one IS that yet

@@Hexocrypha huh? Haha
