I forgot volk is on a 22 fight win streak

That’s what I been saying to everyone

Less strikes than khamzat? I'm guessing that Gilbert landed alot 🤷‍♂️ Looking forward to this fight.

u forgot the weight and strength difference - quick fight

@Hassy Kay hes very flawed.Let him strike for a while and they come out

I agree

Only time will tell but Beating Islam will cement his legacy in all time greatest P4P

It will never happen.

@@cordogg1132 putin drafted islams daddy, it over for you

@@user-jg7ic9ft1z Not only beating Islam but going up from 145 to beat someone who easily beat the most feared BJJ practitioner in all of the UFC who also has very elite Muay Thai himself --- and is below average in height and among some of the naturally (for the frame) smaller guys at 145, too --- THAT would get Alex cemented as the best pound for pound forever. Islam, btw, is NOT 5'10" as the record keeps saying. Khabib is 5'10". Islam and Charles are clearly over 5'11". Look at some of the still pictures of Islam standing next to, or standing with arms around, Usman who is always listed as 6'0": Islam is just a hair shy of Usman's well established 6'0" height. Neither Islam nor Charles is small, for 155 or for 170. (Islam, on videos, looked a bit shorter than Charles ONLY because as a wrestler, his tendency is to stay a bit low, ready to wrestle any time the opponent givers him a chance.) But both Charles and Islam are BIG for 15, going by their built and their height; plus the specialty they both have, they'd run over many at 170, too.

I agree with you, he is fast and indeed has high IQ-Fight but don't underestimate Islam, he is a beast, once Volk on the ground he is done, Islam only need one streak to put him down and that is it. I can't wait to see this fight. I support my hero Islam.💪

@@ALIMOHAMMED-wd1em Volk has the tools to beat Islam, that's why this match is so anticipated. We know how Islam can win, but peope want to see the underdog go against the guy who should win on paper.

​@@Mark-bd5ci I thought the same when he fought Olivera, but Islam surprised me. I just saw a video for Henry Cejudo, he said Volk took not a really wise decision and he put his career and legacy in stake in this fight. I really want to support Volk, but oh man I cannot..

FACTS!

That's why if he does beat Islam(why seems almost impossible), he deserves the GOAT status at least as much as JBJ, if not more. Even if JBJ beats Gane to become double champ himself. I mean Gane is great, but nowhere near Islam.

LFC are not great 😅

What if islam finishes volk in one round tho

@@vaellanshanmuru6405 It's still the best fight . Last time I was this excited was for Khabib Vs Conor

@Onyen Bew I don't understand how anyone is excited for this. Volk needs a fucking miracle to win.

I think it goes to round 3 at least

@@vaellanshanmuru6405 it's going 3 rounds

He represents well

Definitely the best athlete ever to come out of aussie

this guy makes me proud to be earthling

Lol ...

Don't get over exited he originally it's from Macedonia and his mother is from Greece

I see it. He’s one of those guys who never let me down, and i’ve doubted him many times before. Not sure i’d put money on this one tho

2nd this, i hate it when two fighters fight are the real deal, i very much prefer Makhachev pummeling and ragdolling the likes of Chandler

@@hudsonlopez3754 you see it but you’re not gonna bet. So you don’t see it.

Thats what im afraid of, cos hes gonna lose this fight and people will never give him the credit he deserves

@My opinion is better than yours I'm just really hoping he does win bcoz even though I'm a NZ,der he is my favorite ufc fighter of all time because he is hard work great determination and just moves straight forward and he feeds off the doubters

Inshallah

Ohhh scary... 🤪

Inshallah

Yeah no sh!t 😂

He is macedonian.

@@dain9001 he was born in Wollongong NSW Australia...

Puts himself across like a gentleman. Top notch bloke.

@@jayemaguire5168 if you are born in space then that doesnt make you an alien.

@@dain9001 People like you are so cringe lmao. What, 90% of Australia are British people?

Dariush has a good chance too

@@a_m4608 he’s good, but definitely not Volk level great. I still think Islam beats Dariush.

I must go with Islam he is cut from a different cloth. Not like the ones Volk has fought.

Alex V Makhachev should be a banger,Alex will give him a very hard time,it'll be miles better than fight against Oliveira!!

Islam will probably go up to WW so that Usman can come over from Bellator and take the LW crown.

Hated watching my 2 favourite fighters Volk and Max fight!! it will be nice to see Volk fight someone that i'm not too fond of!!

How did you even get tickets...

@@theaussiefinder4440 ikr!

Champ chimp

@@bboybreezi2417 bro i had 3 nates including me up all night and morning, they sold out straight away

@@theaussiefinder4440 yeah its crazy man i live 30mins away from the fight the prices were Saudi money lol

Most of us are not hating on Volk at all. Thats def not what I've seen online myself

@@seanskywalka5172 that's fair but I see it everywhere and especially living in a strong arab/Muslim area in Australia, no hate towards Muslims just calm down a bit lol

@@jossiecrowie3133 We're definitely proud of Islam, Khabib and Abdulmanap's kids and school. I think the minority hating comments you see are prob from the Casuals chiming in who dont know anything about MMA lol

@@seanskywalka5172 I agree on that

Yeah he’s not winning this fight lol

Hope volk can standup for 5 round. I want to see a cut on this dagentani boys face. I never see islam or khabib get bloody figth. But its will be hard to break dagestani mentallity. They are born to be figther.

He is from Macedonia originally

@@salvitiello2738 did I say any different? Also he is from Australia born and raised. His dad is from Macedonia and his mum from Greece They came to Australia for a better life, look on volks passport and it’ll say “Australian” look at the flag he represents that’s also Australian

His blood is not Australian but neither is any of ours. We are European white fellas from UK Poland Greece lots of places but represent Australia

@@salvitiello2738 lol

He's not putting everything on the line. All he'll lose is the #1 P4P rank, not his title.

If he wins he will be the Goat

That's it man! I've seen countless arguments made on why Islam will dominate Volk and a lot of what these people are saying is hard to argue about, Islam is very good....... But when it comes to Volk its different!! A lot of the arguments they are making would hold up very strong against most fighters but like Volk said he ain't most fighters. As bold as it sounds I've never seen an athlete, regardless of the sport that has as much of an elite level mindset that Volkanovski has! Trust me that statement will sound a lot less bold Feb 12th! Khabib said that 5/6 months will be nowhere near enough time for him to prepare for Islams wrestling and once again if he was talking about any other fighter he'd be completely right but Volk's just another breed!! People forget that Volk entered the UFC as a wrestler/grappler but because he's mainly had to prepare for strikers at FW he now finds himself as one of the best strikers in the sport!! Volk is a Dawg in the cage but also in the gym so you need to translate those 5/6 months preparing for Islam into Volk years😆

"Khabib never move to welterweight" this is a bullsh*t accusation that gets thrown around all the time - why do you expect every champion to move up? And Khabib and Usman weren't going to fight anyway as Usman said - Khabib is like brother to him and he doesn't want to fight him.

@@italia189 if they are to be considered a great, then yes. GSP, DC, McGregor, DJ and soon Jon Jones and Volkanovski moved up and enhanced their legacy because of it.

​@@italia189 because u can't yourself if u don't challenge yourself. Every goat. Gsp, silva DJ all moved up and fought the bigger guys. Soon jones will too. It's pretty much a prerequisite nowadays to be called goat.

@@bettybunbun9664 GSP was a goat before ever moving up a weight class against 1 eyed journeyman bisping. Jon jones too, Jose Aldo in FW too. Stop moving the goal post of greatness, as Khabib is undoubtedly the LW GOAT. (so far)

Honestly man.... I've only grown up on football/soccer and have only been watching mma for the last 3 years but because of Volk I pretty much only watch mma now and without question this is by far the most pumped I've ever been for a sporting event in my life!!

Bradman second lol

hes not losing

@@mrcrankypants72 He will lose in second or third round, mark my words brother😉

@@ProVibeGaming dont talk to me if you think islam will win🙂

Kid go away your pic and fake name says everything I need to no about you child.how old are you 10 smh grow up stop hiding

@@jerryjuliangutierrez7536 Could you rewrite your comment in English, as I don't speak child. Cheers boy.

It's not weak for an Aussie card, its got most of the up and coming guys from aus.

@Jonathan it was never a fight, Costa was saying that from beggining

@@erkziltonz yeah I was thinking that, it helps that the crowd can be invested in every fight!! I'm Irish but love all the aussie fighters so i'm still pumped for the card!!

Lol we know, we know

not me, i wanna see yair vs another person.

@@vobzyy I think it's more that Yair isn't ready for the champ. He wasn't ready for Max, yet Max isn't able to handle Volk.

@@hurfdurfy8167 yea that’s fair enough

@@vobzyy nah, just object any comment and piss people off. thats my m.o. you?

Im all with volk but he has a 1/10 chance Bro.. islam has been smashing ground n pounding since childhood with Khabib...

@@stephenr80 Smart man

50/50 is a stretch lol. Then again Volk has nothing to lose besides the #1p4p slot. He keeps his belt win or loss. Islam wins nothing but the #1p4p status but if he loses that belt is gone.

Come on man , Islam it's too good in the ground and stand up. He made look easy again Charles olivaira one of the best BJJ

The world will be shocked when Volk gets it done but I expect nothing less! This video has changed your outlook for a reason, is there any other fighter in the UFC that speaks with that much intent and conviction? As good as Islam is, he won't force Volk to second guess himself like he has done with other fighters. People might argue the best striker, best wrestler, best grappler in the sport but I have no doubt in my mind who has the best mindset and that's not something to ignore going into this fight!!

lol wtf are you talking about

McGregor had bravado, not confident against Khabib. Alex has true confidence, and will be much harder to break.
