This interview ended up with DC challenging Islam at 155 😂
@@ab.gv1 that's a pretty tough chicken fillet cut.
@@ab.gv1that man was never under 180 bruh🤣🤣 155 would be a scary looking Cormier
Dc needs to cut both of his legs. There, now he weights 155 pounds and now they can wrestle
@@vggaming6920hed turn into a black hole if he ever got a pound under 160
DC making 155 they would have to hold the weigh in at a department store so he would have enough towels to grab
Respect to DC interviewing Islam while travelling. :)
It's a greenscreen
Bruh he's just gone to get a buffet
@@jimmythekidd01 Cant you see hes on a train??!!
Ur easily impressed
Why? It’s unnecessary and made the interview worse.
He said stop ur train 😂😂😂 I’m dead
😂😂😂😂
Hahaha 😂 imagine DC breaking out from window and start double leg the train
timestamp ?
@@bangozee4641:15
🤣
You can see the love and respect these two fighters have for each other
sounds like the most stereotypical commentating shit ive ever read in my life xD they're friends
DC chose to do this call during a mobile golf visit? bruhhh c'mon man get some internet before video call with champion
Dude he was meat riding him the whole time. Place Joe Rogan in there and you'll see how much friendly they're gonna be when he'll question his victory over Alex.
@@bubbag3332right? Like so the Fuck What? 😂 bruuuh
@@goodrat7What to ask?
Islam even won first 4 minutes of last round. Volk had the best shots, but only for one minute.
Islam 49.5-45.5 Volk at best
I always tune in to DC interviewing the Dagestanis fighters, It's always ends up a hilarious interview😂
Yeah he has a good relationship and it shows. I love em
Cringe, he doesn’t know every dagestani, just AKA guys. Casuals smh
@jesusiskingofkings4428
AKA is THE gym that Dagestanis go to. Zabit is the lone exception, choosing Mark Henry for political reasons.
The one where Islam buried BJJ black belts is an all timer.
NPC ahh comment
The interview went from asking Islam about the change to DC vs Islam so fast. Hilarious. Love the brotherhood.
There were 7 medalists and 1 champion from Dagestan across the 10 freestyle weight classes. There were 10 medalist and 3 champions from the US. We still win by that metric but for a population of just 3 million their success in the sport is crazy
Yeah but 300 to 400 mill population to 3 million is huge diffrence.
Not how ut works lmao. They have less than half the population and infrastructure
On top of that some Dagestanis participate for other countries and the sport is more financed in the US than in Dagestan
who cares they're cavemen
Americans have really turned it up over the last 5 years or so but prior to this Russia had a significant edge forever.
Ufc need to pay DC more. Not because he is particularly good at his job, but because man's working on the train
I love DC's repertoire with these guys, when the world is at odds it's important that our role models show us there are no borders when it comes to friendship and humanity.
I think you mean 'rapport'. Totally agree.
Well said
raport
3rd for Rapport 😂
"These guys" .. these aliens ... yeah theyre cool cuz DC says they are, not cuz theyre fellow humans who are actually pretty great people with families lol ...
The first fight is one of my favourite fights of all time and this one is going to be a Banger.
Their relationship provides one of the most entertaining clips in MMA. It never fails, they can’t help themselves.
Respect to both Islam and Volk for stepping up on short notice, May the best man win 💯🫡
Islam had full camp not for volk but anyways what u talkin bout ???
Wish all the fans could appreciate these awesome fights we’re getting with these great fighters instead of just two weird fanbase attacking each other. Excited
Lame fight come on. Islam will smoke him. I just hope khamzat fight still on coz I’ve heard it’s off by a reliable source
@@TransitionedToASharkit's off, usman stepping up to fight chimaev
@@ozzyprod9332 yeah. Card is falling apart!
@@TransitionedToAShark Islam would smoke Charles way harder, card just keeps getting better
Goes to show that the majority of people are basically monkeys
DC and Islam always making great content together 😂
I respect both champs for taking this fight in such short amount of time. Especially volk, Win or lose that guy is a champ.
😂😂😂
Everything is planned in such a way, bro, this is a big company.
@ryantiarno4294 😂😂 the is always one 😢
@@Bernadette-mz6ni pardon me sir, the present countinuous tense.
Well he's fighting for Islams belt at LW so of course he'll still be FW champ if he loses
Islam is taking all the risk not Volk
I love their relationship, you can tell they're bros foreal! 💯 & I absolutely love their interview they did before the Charles Oliveira fight! I was rollin! Lol.
Charles is afraid of Makachew,
Costa afraid of Khamzat
these are grown men who fight people for a living.. i dont think anyones scared of anyone.
@@smookyonthebeattell that to colby bumington ducking everyone in his div
Bad luck happen. They grow up to fight who the fk he’ll scare. Grown up
@@Like-23 You think Volk would let a cut eyebrow keep him from fighting? Charles was looking for a way out and he got it.
@@GotMyDickInYaMouthwtf are you talking about? the guy is scheduled to fight the champ, quite literally the top guy in the division… yaa mfs will make up anything in your heads to say these guys are scared of each other, it’s hilarious.
Love it, the brotherhood between these guys is awesome
Straight up Alex ain't gonna make excuses. We all know how important this is for both of them and how motivated they both must be after going to the edge together.
Two super impressive fighters, can't wait. I don't think either guy hesitated a second to accept the challenge. The attitude of both guys is awesome. Interesting to see how the lack of home ground "advantage" affects Volk. Maybe it is better, less distractions. Who knows? I am glad Olivera pulled out. This is a much more interesting fight.
To make it simple: Don't take the test without preparing, if you want to blame the examiner later.
right
Indeed. Volk has to read this suggestion 😂
It's a bit of a stretch to equate a double-championship fight where you make 6 figures for just showing up, with a test.
Either way Volk wins. It's a gamble with little downside. Either he wins and now he's in the convo as one of the goats, or he loses and it's like yeah he took the fight on a 10 day notice and he gets the respect of fans for stepping in like that
@@MrFredsttThen what’s the point of Islam taking the fight if he doesn’t gain anything ?
i love how every DC and Islam interview includes them saying they would beat the other💀
If Volk makes this go his way he enters the GOAT debate no doubt
In your dreams🤦🏻♂️
@@real_madrid.number1Stop munching on dagestani meat 🍖
If he loses, what does he lose? Nothing..lol dumb put him in goat over win win fight
If Alex lose dont give excuses.... 😂
@@real_madrid.number1dagestani meat muncher lmaoooo
Tbf Volk and Charles are both pressure fighters with strong grappling. Islam isn’t at as much of a disadvantage as Volk who is out of camp and was looking to fight Tuporia who is more boxing based. But a great man once said “the best takedown is a left hook” who also won the title to someone he lost to in a little over a week notice
talking from spain here, dont let Tupuria's good hands fool you, his real base is not the boxing, is the wrestling, and he is a black belt at bjj, if he underestimate his opponent's grappling he will lose, because of the hight level Ilia has.
it always goes as planned, You think the UFC is an amateur company
2:27 Islam never said "Small" !! He said short, which is true, but Volk is anything but small, he is a big guy for his weight class and at 155 he is even bigger and thicker.
The way he picked up Yair Rodriguez in the last fight just shows how Volk is build like a bull. His upper body is large and strong.
legend of the UFC Islam Maxachev Allahu Akbar ☝️🤝🇺🇿
My brother let's go
I love everytime these two have an interview.
Okay last comment I really enjoyed this interview with Islam maybe he was more relaxed because he knows d.c.😮 whatever I still want volkanovski to win and I want to see videos of DC and khabib together again two of my favourite friendships❤❤❤❤
I think Islam loves DC so much every interview he enjoys winding DC up 😂😂 and DC struggles to keep a straight face when Islam speaks it’s hilarious 😄
Definition of a Elite Champion vs Champion match up Can not wait for this Insanely Crazy, Fire REMATCH LET'S GOOOOOO WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I know right.. Volk is such an Elite Champion. Champ Champ
@@imakimmy2 Volk fans still crying after 7 months. sht is crazy
"I have to stop him and finish him", and finish him he did. That was brutal. Respect to Volk, hope he doesnt take it too bad
A TRUE CHAMPION! *AND STILL, INSHA ALLAH!!! ☝️*
Jesus is THE way, THE truth, and THE life
@@jesusiskingofkings4428Jesus as. is the prophet, the messenger and slave of god as muhammed saw.
@@jesusiskingofkings4428that’s polytheism
DC should be the U.S. Ambassador to Dagestan! Seriously no one is more qualified! 😂😂😂
Imagine him pulling up being all serious in his fake Dagestan accent 😂😂😂
the only problem is Dagestan is not a sovereign country, so maybe a consulate general
Only uploaded few hours ago and the views for this interview is rocking up. Islam is a star!
All ways love these two interviews 😂
Kinda pissed me off that he wasn't last time. It bothers me that islam was always in his corner and khabib dipped on his brothers biggest fight.
Maybe he didn't want to take Islam's shine. Idk
loved to see when they debated each other 😂
*mad respect to makachev Post-fight excuses already prepared! I really hate short notice especially for this superfight _*
A Reason is considered a fair and logical justification for failure in something. An Excuse is widely considered a below par reason that can undoubtedly be overcome.
The irony is Islam would never take a short notice fight.
@joeschmidt4991 how is that ironic in this case? You make no sense😂
by your definition being injured for a fight is a good reason as to why you lose, and yet i see no one accepting that explanation from fighters, the reason being they shouldn't have taken the fight then and that its their fault for doing so. @@theo4014
Didn't Islam take Bobby Green or Dan Hooker on short notice?
It doesn't matter who wins both are great fighters with character
D.C & ISLAM 👍🏻👍🏻
5:45 DC suddenly realizing he's doing this for UFC not his channel 😂 changed his words mid sentence
goodluck champ and stay strong always
Man my top two favourite fighters are Islam and Volk. Feel like they shouldn’t fight as I don’t want anyone to lose but the best part is still they are at the highest level and this fight will be epic
I wouldn't be surprised if Volk was walking around at around 155 anyway, I don't think weight will be an issue for him. If anything he can really eat whatever he wants leading up to this fight without a weight cut. It's a really short notice fight, but he does have some time to get his weight right and be comfortable. I would write most other lightweights off (let alone a featherweight) taking a fight against Islam with such short notice, but Volk is probably the only one I know who will be in top form coming into it.
He definitely was bigger than 155 before getting the call. These aren't little dudes.
He walks around 180+ easy
Volk is probably dealing with some injuries here and there, he fought recently after all, he won't be as fresh as Makhachev is. But Volk is a monster so we'll see.
Bro volk walks at 165 easy
@@royalalxejaso4999he's way above 165, he comes into his featherweight fights 170, he's strong and big
Wishing Volk speedy recovery.
wdym bro
hes injured
Olivera?
You mean for after the fight? 😂 That’s cold man..
I smell an EXCUSE right here 🤣🤣
Now i’m wishing Volk a speedy recovery.. both physically and mentally. It was quicker than i had hoped.. but thank you all the same to Volk.
“Everyone but… THIS GUYY”😂😂😂
Islam and DC interviews are the best
These guys need a podcast
I hate when people talk about bias with Dc, they’re friends and train together. I’d have a bias for my friends
I agree, i wasn’t surprised oliveira pulled out. How does your sparring partner give you a cut a few days before a title fight??
I want to think positive
But Charles got eyebrow cut, and he not going to abu dhabi earlier to acclimate, but about a week or two from the fight, too close
It really irks and now I am think Charles deliberately do these stuff... so he...
If charles is scared then imagine what khabib is considering his kidneys completely shut off because of extreme weight cutting and dude still decided not to go to his natural weigjt class
@@imma5761oh be quiet, Charles tried making it hard for Machachev to have to belt fight until dana forced him the first time, 2nd time he had no excitement nor energy for fight, none of it looks good
Dc is very kind good man... like big brother... make sure dc come to abu dhabi.😊
Do not understand how anyone can actually hate Islam. Or Khabib for that matter. I’d also be scared sh1tless of how calm he always seem regardless of opponent or event. Unsettling.
Go Islam! And Still👊
LETS GO CHAMP🔥💚

These 2 AMAZING TOGETHER!!!!! ❤️ 👊
It's sad that Charles is out, for me it would have been a more interesting fight in the sense that regardless of the outcome, you know someone would be finished. Most likely Charles? Sure, but there's always a chance, even if it's small. Much respect for Volk, but I don't think he finishes Islam and I don't think Islam finishes Volk so my prediction is it will be another decision. Interesting fight? For sure, but still a decision.
its also annoying when makachev was like hes a quitter and dc says just like yeah
@@anshumankrishnan2085it is fucking shameful, the warrior that charles is showing to be in all of these past years, the BMFKRS that he destroyed… the whole top 5… and now people want to call him a quitter again? The dude literally had a serious injury that took his gold chance to win the title back, and can loose the opportunity if Volka wins, so what is the logic of being called a quieter by people who never step foot in the cage, no one is as sad as Charles because of what happened.
Islam is being disrespectful towards Charles again, just like last fight. Charles is always a good spirit, he never offends his opponents or try to do this disrespectful bullshit talk.
He always delivers amazing fights and moves towards danger like a berserker ! And Islam is calling him a quitter, just remember : karma is a bitch.
Charles will be back, and as always he will shut up everybody again who is calling him a quitter, and he will get his belt back. I definitely believe this.
Its honestly not too bad of a situation. Charles got a cut and not some ligament injury. So he should get the winner! Pretty interesting!
For me, Islam vs Volk is way better matchup than Do Bronx 🤷
Win or lose only one thing is certain… That unibrow will always remain undefeated 🐐🐐
DC’s smile when he speaks to a Dagestani fighter
I love how brothet DC show the love and respect shows for the sport and brotherhood he earned with Dagistani fighters..
I am glad listening Islam the talk
Everyone runs away from confronting Hamza lol 😆😂
I hope Islam will not underestimate Alex this time and will show his reel champs level…
He didn't underestimate volk it's just volk is surprisingly that damn good however that still was not enough to beat islam
Islam had a rought weightcut too.. Im sure Islam will be even more dangerous this time@@nextmessi4249
He didn't show last time? They are both so good.
Thanks for the video, UFC
Always love to see DC and Islam talks 😂
Islam is an amazing fighter underrated stand up, he dropped charles not many can do that man
HE LITERALLY GET DROPPED EVERY FIGHT...
Everyone drops charles
He meant to say that makhachev dropped volk
Charles even gets dropped by his random sparring partner. Tf you talking bro.
Not many can drop Charles shut up 😭 love Oliveira but let’s not act like he doesn’t get tagged in his fights
Islam bouta make it look easy😂
love the way these guys talk smack at each other during interview
4:34 DCs smile is priceless when Islam said Charles remembers what happened last time 🤣
“I cannot say this about Oliveira, he always give up” 💀💀🥶 geeeez paying respect to Volk obviously but savage toward Charles lmaoooo
It is true tho
@@WhiteBeard640 It's not true at all, though. Besides the fight with Islam, Charles last loss was 5 years ago, and since then he was hurt many times before going on to finish his opponent. The guy's from the favelas, and as a kid was told he couldn't play sports and may never walk again due to medical conditions. In his modern incarnation he's one of the mentally strongest guys in the sport. I'd love to see him take on Volk.
Charles has the better championship reign so far
@@fgc1850 idk man🤷♂️, Charles Olivera & Alex Volkanovski are better wins then Chandler, Justin and Dustin
@@WhiteBeard640 most people think he lost to volk, so nope
Islam is a G for not picking his opponent and accepting fight at 11 days notice
The real G is volk fighting a guy bigger then him after not being able to bulk up on 11 days ..
@@lookherelooklisten3078 Stop with the bulk up garbage, Volk cuts weight just like everyone else, it's just he doesn't have to cut so much to make 155.
@@markshaw1540terrible take. Big difference between cutting less weight and bulking up.
@@lookherelooklisten3078man what’s the difference between 145-155? 10 pounds… Alex walks anyways over 180 and actually weighted more than Islam in their last fight.
Islam ill be win insha allah ✨
if you well rounded fighter doesnt matter which oppent you fight
Love both of you brothers ❤
☝️☝️ I had been waiting eagerly for Islam vs Charles fight since its announcement . But islam vs Volkonski will be great fight too just like their first fight. Lets better fighter win. 👍
Nahhh I won’t be even close. Volk just took the cast out of him arm. He’s not training he’s not gonna be the same
Cringe username
Let's go Volk!
Bro I can not wait.
I like Charles but I just don't see him winning could land a shot or catch him in a submission so it's possible but I definitely would rather see the rematch woth volk cause that's the first time we've seen one of these guys not dominate since tibau and I wouldn't consider khamzat apart of this group he's from the different area but burns is also a bad dude
No excuses if Makhachev win .. Sean won against Izzy.
Except it's out of his weight class and the other refuses to drop weight. One chases legacy the other makes excuses.
@@anthonyduncan8352 you challenge someone in his weight division for his belt. You want it not him.
@justsomeguywithafewmoregut4600 first thing islam thought was don't make an excuse. What excuse? He's fighting out of weight class on 11 day notice. Islam like Khabib will never be goat. They never wanted the challenge.

It's official, Dagestan is the capital of MMA
Usman nurmagomadeouv is a force to be wreck-end with. If Islam loses this fight I reckon usman will come and dethrone volk if BellatorMMA let him go

gangster
And after a surgery
Usman just stepped In to fight khamzat at 185.. that must be respected
Who cares
@@dontzu8886 hardcore fan obviously ur new to all this being a casual 🥴....peace✊
Nah volk is not taking any risks is a win-win situation for him
Even more Excited
Charles had said many times he didnt want to fight Islam in Abu Dhabi. Seems a lil sus but who cares most of us would rather see this fight. Now Paulo is out also. Going to be interesting to see at what weight come fight night regardless what they say until then.
Islam Makhachev will win UFC 294
Islam was "GASSED" in the first fight - he had nothing left & he is the bigger man that was supposed to run through Volk by taking him to the ground and then "it would be over" Volk may knock him out this time. He deserves some credit for going up a weight class to challenge for that belt as he has dominated his own division. Interested to see if Islam tries to go up a class
How was machachev gassed when he was winning the 5th rnd up until thr last 60 secs? If ur gassed, there's no way ur beating volk for majority of the final rnd.
On 2 weeks notice, in a higher weight class, beast.
The relationship between DC and these guys🔥🔥🤌🏻
The real P4P king
Иншоалох ислом чемпиён
That cut above Charles' eyebrow is nasty, I'm always rooting for Charles but Volkanovski is a different hype for this match. I think he'll do it properly this time, stronger and smarter Volkanovski.
Islam 👑
Islam Makhachev will beat him and take the spot as the second greatest lw
This is nuts. Volk has my respect win or loose!
InsyaAllah islam makhachev win
LMAO SHORT GUY SMASHED UR BOI WHILE GOING UP A WEIGHT CLASS. “People say im biased” I wonder why.
It is going to be great fight, i can say for sure.
I see the post 4days ago but it never pop up even during ufc 294 search
Would've loved to see Bobby Green step in and get his revenge against Islam. He just knocked out a crazy hyped prospect in 30 seconds and proved he is a legit contender for that strap. He fought Islam on a day's notice, didn't train for crotch sniffing, and had a bad weight cut. Next time the result will be different I can promise that.
He mentioned he injured his hand in his post fight
Idk if ur joking or not bro🤣
grant dawson is NOT a crazy hyped prospect
@@certifiedjefe5151did you see how Bobby just knocked out an elite contender with a JAB!
Bobby getting the title shot after beating Grant Dawson would be one the clownish things to happen in UFC lol. But anyway, even if Bobby was given a rematch against Islam, I think Bobby still gets balls put on his forehead, nothing changes.
You know what’s hilarious, this entire time Islam haters have acted like volk got robbed, but as soon as the fight is about to happen they start making excuses.
Don't worry about keyboard warriors.
Volk is a Champ as Islam is.
However people will definitely bring this after.
Volk won
Relax.. Trolls r everywhere saying anything to anyone everytime. .
