"Because this guy short, we have to kick him a lot" Islam Makhachev 😂

“I choked a lot of people” - Khabib Nurmagomedov “Because this guy short, we have to kick him a lot” - Islam Makachev 💀🤣

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.

It’s incredible how good his English improved over the years

Wow Islam makhachev smart fighter 😎

These guys are the funniest dudes without even trying 💀

No doubt Islam is p4p best as of right now

this time plan worked 100%

If he keeps fighting like this, he's gonna be in the GOAT debate sooner or later.

He put more hardwork in his English! 💯🏆

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

"I have to kick him alot cause he is short" 💀😂

They will have the most amazing stories to tell their grandchildren 😊

Best trash talker in the UFC without even trying, ”Because this guy is short, We have to kick him a lot”💀💀

this is how you prepare for a fight

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

When you're a student of both the science, and the art 👌🏾💪🏾😤

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.

Give islam his flowers

Props to the editor for placing Tom trying to get the Feel 😅😅

I remember Max dropped him with a similar head kick once, damn should’ve keep them comin

Islam never looked soo dangerous and muscular... this guy is here to stay a while

How you can improve after 1 fight. That 5 rounder was such a good experience for him.

that shuush in the end, cold. I like it.

We love Islam!

Khabib sending out the lil homies to takeover

"He short. So we have to kick him alot" sounds like bullying

Very high IQ in fighting

Islam Makhachev has no fliter 😭 "I take his head, this guy short💀

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

Dat tom m gerry scene fits perfect😂

Islam savage ❤💪☝️

Alhamdulillah

That's hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh level IQ

Master strategist

Islam excellent plan executed

Islam looks truthful while saying this,I didn't like that he won but I believe him

They broke down volks weakness and went for the kill.

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

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.”

Beast of a man

This man beat a smart sparring specialist with his own medicine

Ma Sha Allah Alhumdulillah ❤

He is beating the shit out of Charles if they fight again..islam is too smart and too good for charles.

By made a good plan you achieved an incredible result ❤

Islam is hella smart, this is what Max was suppose to do use his kicks for keep him at a distance!!

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

Max could have used this in the 3rd fight but wanted to be the best boxer.

Fighters like islam and volk are giving A LOT to the sport, real champions

🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸☝🏼💯💯🐺

Man the tactic is over rates unbelievable how he analyzing his opponent

Kick like islam makhachev, choked like khabib nurmagomedov .❤❤😅

Sucks we’ll never see a rematch with Alex having a full camp. Unfortunately this chapter is closed..

volkanowski lost 2 times because of the high kick

Damm literally explain the plan and did it bill weekends kicks

Smart wrestling is all about feeling your opponent.

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

Sad but true😔 he is fn good

Mighty Mouse actually called this on his own UKposts 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.

U cant doubt Islam's team has got it all figured out

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.

Master

Congrats to Islam. Can’t wait to see him fight again in 2057!

Bcz this guy short, we have to know kick him a lot 😂😂😂😂 the best I've ever heard in a while. I love this guy

The tom and jerry part killed me 😂

Thanks islam for making ilia the chsmp 😊😘you can always come to Cleveland

His english has improved a lot

Bro's English is getting better. That's not easy

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.

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.

How does he say that with the dead straight face 😂

What i saw right now was like khabib the way he speak. He’s very fast learner of coarse the best P4P. Allahu Akbar

Is no one gonna talk about the random clip of Tom 😂

The guy in the middle with the white shirt during rock paper scissors looks like a dagestani Sean Strickland 😂

This fight when the are on the edge of the ring reminds me of the Fight Kiyotaka vs Karkuma or whatever his name was.

U smashed it bro 😎 Alhamdullilah !!!

Assessing his power was genius 👍

The Tom animation is Goldd

Khabib's technique finally he got that

The dudes a very smart fighter with amazing coaches, that are maybe even the best in the world.

100%professional

Islam is one of my favorite fighters. Volk too. But at 155 Volk can't shine. I want to see Volk smash 145 some more.

And you didn’t even show the kick 😭😭

Islam to Hasbullah : “ bcoz this guy short… very short !… we have to kick him a lot “ 💁🏻‍♀️🤣💯💀

He looks so relaxed which is scary that he has so much over his emotions

Clear fighter,clear headkick,clear face after fight.

Ma sja Allah love it that fighters stick to their plan😊

Bro completely exposing volk

New goat

They’re so good bc unlike other teams their team communication and ethics are off the charts…. Commu…

Islam is already a better fighter than khebab ever was

"If you to make some money in these sport, have to good English" - Islam

As you can see Islam, shoot it for a double leg to make some manipulating with Volks mind, so he can set up some kicks by managing the distance that he is just using for range attacks, and then after all that was a really nasty and nice set up for Islam going out with a vicious head kick was one of the best knockouts of the year, and nobody gonna recover from the shock of what Islam just did to Volkanovski the guy who haven’t been ever knocked out in his life

Bro, I swear, I almost pass out every time I come across that “ he short guy we have to kick him a lot”

You did super good! 🙌🏻

His english is getting better and better, nice to hear champ

These guys don’t just fight to win but they plan to win and then win the fight

BRILLANT GAMEPLAN

islam is the best lw of all time

Smart fighter 😊love him
