The fact that volkanovski lives a few streets away from me and i see him driving his jaguar blows me out that a normal man that we all knew growing up because of him playing for the warilla gorillas is now the featherweight champion of the world. Just crazy.
🤣 doesn't shock me at all that he drives a Jag. What a gun!
@@ichiganade2071 you so bitter🤣🤣
@@joethomas856 he's an Aussie born n bread mate. 🏉 Rugby
@@masterphotronics.670 yeah I know mate was replying to a guy who was basically calling him a sell out
They complaining about the pay, but they drive Jaguars and expensive jewelry.
This dude gives me so much hope for me as a fighter. I'm 5'7 and I wanna fight in the UFC for my country one day. Papua New Guinea. But imma work my ass off to get there
Keep at it mate, us Aussies have a lot of respect for PNG people.
Get to it mate follow that dream. Best of luck from an Aussie
Stay on the grind brother
Train hard bro…
Boxing, wrestling,jiu jitsu, leg kicks, head kicks…
And remember protect yourself at all times
I shed a tear sometimes knowing I'm too old now to ever try professional fighting. I'm 41 years old now and didn't follow the fathers side of the family. My father was a semi-pro boxer and a prison guard, my uncle owns a kickboxing studio and sparred with Bill Superfoot Wallace. Fighting for a living is that. I just know I would have always came in unpredictable...never underestimate your opponent..and get those reflexes REFLEXES..
That's 20 wins in a row if he beats Ortega, which is pretty crazy.
And 9 wins in a row in UFC
Already made this comment...
But he won't. Ortega will be champ.
@@masterlogray
Lol ur dreaming
Volk is going to crush him
@@masterlogray if ortega remembers he is a grappler
volk is too underrated
He needs a statement making win, Ortega is the perfect opponent to get it. Question is can and will Volk get it? He seems content to go the distance. I'm a fan of his, but he needs some finishes against top competition for the casual fans to stop writing him off as a paper champ who was 'gifted' a win over Max.
@@madgavin7568 in five rounds he'll pressure Ortega into a KO, he won't go to the ground unless Ortega is compromised.
Its mostly just hate from the Max fans
@@wassim9763 We'll have to wait and see.
@@madgavin7568 not long m8
I’m Mexican but I’m cheering for Volk, seems like a genuine guy where Ortega goes back and forth playing tough guy / humble guy
WTF? Support your man, who cares about his personality
@@tk_attack that's a terrible way to look at things. We can't choose where we're from, but we can choose how we carry ourselves and how we treat other people.
@@rorybray7356 You are describing character. I am not talking about character, I am talking about personality. Of course I would agree that good character is an important factor in supporting someone.
What I meant, when saying personality should not matter. I mean't individual differences, like you are an introvert who listens to rihanna, thats why you can't support your fellow countyman who is an extrovert who listens to RnB
@@tk_attack okay yeah fair enough. That makes sense. Guess we agree then
@@tk_attack WTF? Support whoever you like, who cares about their ethnicity
Most underrated champ right now for sure, I'm a fan since the Chad Mendes Fight.
Same
I’m rugby fan , watched his first amateurs right after he quit rugby and haven’t stoppped since
Never seen anyone shut out and neutralize 3 round Aldo before, scary stuff, he made Aldo look like a regular unranked contender
In Brazil too that was a horrible night for Brazilians outside of Andrade sending rose to the shadow realm.
Volkanovski is wild
Super boring fight to watch
Oi good sir
@@ThePriorityBox Sure, if you don't appreciate technique and just want to watch two meatheads slug it out.
Volko is a g, watching TUF was a pleasure
Bum
@@maul8384
Outpacing and outstriking Max doesn’t make you a bum. Volko is one of the best strikers in the ufc
@@INK-MONO wtf are you talking about I just said bum to get you triggered and looks like it worked I could care less about volko or the max guy
@@maul8384 balls
@@AAAHH are they sweaty ? I’ll lick em dry
His fight iq is off the charts he just understands distance and his opponents so well
Volkanovski is a true champion. He was born to be great. Australia is behind you mate!
The fact he's a relative newcomer to the sport and beating guys that've been doing it since they were kids is astonishing
Absolute beast. He will give anyone in his division trouble.
Definitely gonna end up being a goat.
@@kidusgebretensay7228 Depends if holloway wins the trilogy which is obviously gonna come.
Volkanovski is built solid, no physical weaknesses
@@AWCTB Wouldn't matter if Max gets 1 win, Volk has 2 already
@@TroubleOnTheWaters Max will still go down as the great one
Underrated as fuck his run is impressive if hi had few more finishis people be more invested
It’s because of the second Max fight, all the fanboys just immediately hate and disregard him, even tho his record is insane
GSP...?
@@timterrell2554 why gsp?
@@yesmovement5805 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@timterrell2554 no seriously, why you mentioning gsp
He's underrated but Saturday he gets his respect
(Boxing, Martial Arts, UfC is evil)
In the eyes of The Lord Jesus Christ, breaking someone’s nose or jaw (especially for money), is extremely wrong! Such a thing is NOT loving or kind at all.
And even more so, cheering for another human being to be kicked in the face, or given a bloody nose, or a black eye, beaten up, or “knocked out unconscious ”- Is extremely wrong in His eyes as well. When we see two people fighting we should be appalled or displeased at the sight of it, Not be happy or excited….
He feels that it is extremely wrong to take excitement or pleasure in seeing someone’s son or daughter be being injured or beat up. In the eyes of the Lord it’s wrong!
For these reasons, amongst all of the sports, MMA And Boxing are the sports that the HOLY Father despises the most as He considers them as especially evil or wicked. And I am sorry to say it, but He is right.
(Psalm 11:5)- “The Lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.”
@@priestfultonjwingbajr1430 get out of here man the bible is filled with conflict you sod
@@priestfultonjwingbajr1430okay Jesus nutcase then why the wars, the politics and evangelical lobbying fuelling to see the Armageddon why the proxy wars fought rubbing the pissful community in all the wrong regions
@@priestfultonjwingbajr1430 you can be a Christian and still be a fighter
@@leobidon3287 Don't disrespect Jesus ya casual GOOF. Jesus loves knockouts.
An inspiring journey for all Australians like myself! Incredible win-streak and unmatched self-belief - let's go Volk!
He maybe Australian BUT kiwiz teach him to scrap 😊
@@ninjah453 macedonian
@@ninjah453 kiwis have glass jaws
Macedonian beast you put us on the map so proud of you brother 🇲🇰🇲🇰🇦🇺
Macedonians aren't real. Volkanovski is either a Greek, Bulgarian, or Serbian Australian.
@joker shooter Volkanovski, if he has any IQ above average or any interest in history, will agree with my statement. Macedonian land belongs to others and Macedonian people, language, and culture is just a product of other groups and nations around them.
Glad volk cleared it up that he was 482 lbs when he was playing rugby.
Clean your ears
@@zanetruesdale7263 genius
@@karthickkailash1864 dummy
582 lbs actually
@@DUNDOM5 clean your ears too
He’s a good champ. Good example of what a champ is. Nice example for the ufc, he is def an asset to the organization.
I just don't find Ortega beating him because the last fight of volkanovski with Max was a master class down in the first two rounds made beautiful adjustments and snatched the remaining 3 rounds from max . And we all know what max did to ortega.
Oterga seems to be a different fighter after that loss tho. It was very apparent in the korean zombie fight that ortegas striking has improved tremendously
Mma math never adds up, and ortega has changed. Won't know until Saturday.
He didn’t snatch anything from max he lost that fight
Wtf,max won both fights🤨😞
@@ywiz-ym5yq definitely not the 1st one, the 2nd one is very debatable
I will forever love him for beating Max, not once, but twice!
Make that 3 times now
Not gonna lie I wanted Tcity to win but I can’t even be mad the man is a living power house and he doesn’t quit he deserves that belt much respect
One of the most if not the mostwell rounded MMA fighter..imo
Definitely
Currently he's up there definitely, but I think gsp is the most well rounded fighter ever.
@@harvey4385 Jones??
@@kidusgebretensay7228 nah I'd say gsp is more well rounded than jones. Not by a lot but still
@@harvey4385 they’re close forsure what pulls GSP ahead for you ?
Really hope people give this man the respect he deserves before it's too late
Big respect from your fatherland country Macedonia!
0:45 its about drive its about power
In his mind he is still taking on guys a foot taller and 50 kg heavier.thats why he's a powerhouse
Volk is one of the most underrated fighter in MMA, he is an absolute monster.
For causal fans yes. He is underrated. But for mma hard-core fans, he is already a goat
Hyped for this card!! Let’s go!!
*This might be the fight of the night*
I haven't been watching any mma for a good while. *Strictly Boxing*
*I might tune in for this one*
Wasn't just fight of the night, it was fight of the damned year! Time to put some respect on Alexander Volkanovski's name.
Love Volk! Very inspirational competitor! God bless 🙏👍💪
The Macedonian warrior 🇲🇰☝️
Much love from Albuquerque New Mexico
This clip makes me want to go watch some of his fights. Straight beast
I hadn't heard of him until the Mendes fight.
I love this dudes coach
Big respect VOLKANOVSKI ❤️
Thanks for the video
Volk is a technical mastermind, he gets it done vs Ortega easy
I know a certain king of Macedonia that almost conquered the entire world as you're conquering the featherweight division in the ufc. His name ripples across time as Alexander the Great. If you are reading this volk i just wanted to say that we've got only one life to be the greatest we can be....I say you become a triple champ! What do you say 😂!!!
his ground and pound is brutal
He schooled Holloway. The rematch was a bit iffy in the 1st and 2nd, but he kept his composure like a true champ and got 3, 4, and 5.
Funny how people always talk about how you cant take the belt from the champ if you don't finish strong against their favorite fighter, but apparently it's enough to win the 1st and 2nd for Max. 🤦🏻♂️
Facts, people are hypocrites
Exactly. Check out the Weasle's video on the fight. His breakdown makes it clear Volk won.
@Kai Riggs the 1st and 2nd were iffy for volk, looked like max was gonna finish him in the later rounds, but Volk was composed. You’re maybe slow?
@Kai Riggs show me the stats. You’re very emotional
@Kai Riggs so if it's facts back it up with stats. You’re clearly very emotional.
Very inspiring!
Amazing fighter especially after standing next to aldo and he got respect for fighters
The guys sick ! Let's go Volski
Um tremendo lutador ,creio muitos brasileiros estára torcendo por você.
For all the salty Holloway fans 3,4,5 Volkanovski
Facts
@@darraghthebadass4117 is this ur burner guru? 💀
Volk won the 1st, Max won the 2nd. Hope we see a 3rd
1st fight yeah.... 2nd fight I don't know.
that's right
Another one with the new fights please ❤️
Volk won both max fights and that’s a fact
It’s a shame most people don’t realize that. He gets way more hate then he deserves
Gave Max the second one, Volk the first. I think even Dana said Max won the second
First one was very close. Second was the wrong call. But IT IS WHAT IT IS. 14 months later he will fight. Remember he pulled out of UFC 260. Ortega beats him.
@@D_SEAN_5-1 He brought on the hate himself ya casual. He was talking trash about Max and being super disrespectful. Then he cried and played the victim. That's what Eugene "Kiwi Edmond" Baremen coaches his fighters to do.
2nd fights was close tho 😔
Love you man!
Can't wait for Saturday!!
Some people have a boxing, Karate, or BJJ background, Volko has a rugby background
Rugby players are built different man. They gotta run around and smack into eachother for 80 minutes without taking a break. That cardio built into you is gonna help for MMA
he was Greco-Roman wrestling national champ when he was 12
Tai does too. Had an easy life set up for him in rugby league with one of if not the biggest club around and he iced it all for a crack in mma. Pretty cool stuff
He's a champion of a person he is
Magnifique combattant...
He’s undefeated in the UFC
Legend
I hope we see vintage, hungry for blood Volkanovski, i believe he will batter Ortega
Yeah I think he will destroy Ortega's legs with his low kicks
Yeah the boys
He's got some crazy in his eyes. Scary dude.
this guy is the real deal
Man this is going to be the 22nd ppv in a row that i have bought lol 😂🤣 cant wait to see who beats who!
❤
THE GREATEST
Exactly why I started investing into his cards
That’s little big head Boy!!!!we met him here at a gym in Las Vegas,and he was dubbed. Little big head boy
All you casuals, if you didn't know, now you know!
"He's like an honorable Kiwi, WE stole him back from the Aussies"
I didn't know people that constantly go on about being Nigerian are known as Kiwis.
"We"
😆
@ASAP Cudlife insecure response
@ASAP Cudlife Damn son you act like you were insulted personally
@Chimik greetings it is i
Well now you know 😂🧂🧂🧂
Anyone that lives in New Zealand can consider themselves a kiwi lol its not an ethnicity
Hopefully he'll finish Ortega and finally get the respect on his name. He got the title by out-pressuring Mendes, neutralizing the King of Rio in Rio, and outpacing Max Holloway over 5 rounds- twice. Thats a crazy resume however you look at it
He won't finish Ortega. Ortega is gonna smother him.
@@masterlogray Max Holloway couldn't smother Volk and he smothers everyone with his pace and pressure. Ortega's a great finisher but if he wins its not gonna be by outworking Volk
@@nut-xn5ol Ortega dismantled zombie... Unlike anyone before him. T city has evolved his game by light-years. It's gonna be a good match but in the end T city is just gonna be too much for him.
@@masterlogray agree to disagree on this one
Im a fan. Alexander Volkanovski is a straight champion
Great win 😊
Now that his reign is done for now, that many will never understand how special it was
Dude used to be a heavyweight then dropped to 145 is insane
@Eat My Ass Not about how much they walk around at. He used to weigh 215, which is clearly heavyweight territory, hence he used to be a heavyweight.
Could you imagine fighting heavyweight at 5'6 lol, would be insane
After his amazing performance against T-City I imagine this guys stocks are going straight up.
I wonder when they filmed the Australian portion because we’ve been in lockdown for the last 12 weeks!
it's old promo footage before his last fight
🔥🔥🔥
Love volk
most underrated and overhated champion ever.
man its carzy how you can cut a fight up with audio and make it seem so different to what went on. not taking away from the win over max but damn it didnt go that smoothly lol
Underrated champ, Volk is a nice, humble chill guy 🙌
He isn't humble what? Have you ever watched his press conferences its the exact opposite.
Regardless if he lost his last fight to Holloway or not, he’s still tied for being the best in the featherweight division rn
Have to admit his nickname is awesome.
LeGM: Greatest baller🐐
Smoove: Smoove Move
Most underrated champ
anyone know who the guy wearing the council rock south wrestling shirt is at 3:40 is? im from right around there
Get it done Volk..
im usually way ahead on fighters and how great they are. many folks are late. they need marketing to convince them. I know skill. this dude is beyond wonderful. what a beast
6:21 DC: He’s so big 😩😩😩
I fell so sad... Ma career end early cause of serious injury... I must be champ for sure some fighter ang coach in our gym has no doubt I will be champ 1 day they said it's just a matter of time... Volkonovsky peteryan max holloway... And many more who are now superstar ang champ in always look up to me... They always take my advose... Good old days... Joe Rogan once tell me you are the most talented fighter I've ever seen u got the whole package he said... Ooooo i am happy they are success now but i am always an top of them always... Haaaaa
CHAMP!!
20 fight win streak crazy
Like the math of one and zero just, into a card game of poker. It was nine and five on my liffe.
I learned how to properly tackle someone, from Alexander Volkanovski.
ALEXANDER THE GREAT AUSSIE !!!
his coaches sound like they really love him
the pound for pound #2
volk going to ckb was a genius move
Cant wait for 266
Most underrated guy in ufc history ffs

Finally getting his respect after beating Ortega🙏🏾 🇦🇺
