Volk owned this press conference. What a guy lmao
The split screen of volk sleeping while ilia is all serious was the best part
ilia is just joking man, i love the way he leans into the jokes aswell
@@jamaicanloneanimal8224and volk speech after ilia takes his belt 👌🏼👌🏼
He pulled the 8 mile move genius
Merab pulling a mexican flag and saying he Is mexican was funny as well
Ian Garry: Everybody is here to see me
Only asked one question the entire press conference 😂
Already old news 😂
🤣🤣😂
Lol i just actually realised hes on the card🤣🤦♂️
@@Christian-rg6cbrelax he has one of the best fights on the card with Neal fotn in my opinion
@@smd4349 did i hurt your feelings?
"Hound of applause for you guys!" Paulo Costa's Brazilian English is a gem 😂
😂😂😂😂😂hound
The Hound Of Ow Plows.
Aussies are so chill and confident. Both rob and volk oozes nothing but extreme confidence in their craft and being chill about everything else around
😂😂
Old man volk. New mythical fighter.
Alexander The Old!
@@NinjaDildoShowAlexander the old is crazy😂
Alexander the great grandfather volkanovski
This better be a playable character in the next ufc game.
Athritis Volk
New mythical fighter:
Merab Rodríguez.
It’s Miguelito now
Grande topuria 💪🇪🇸
09:11 Volk continuing Izzy’s tradition of hiding the Monster Energy bottle 😂
and then getting KOd
Costa opening his shirt as he walks towards the crowd to flex and shoving Garry away is the most Costa thing to do. "I wanntoh shau my myuscles and make giga chad lauf to yoh wife"
🤣
😂
Costa pushing Ian Garry down the stairs while he’s standing there flipping people off and the music playing is straight outta a movie lol
He was helping his Brazilian friend LOL
Underrated moment bruh 😭💀
You got a timestamp for that I missed it?
28:32
@@mrabhinav006 Perfect time stamp my guy 👍
Volk slowly getting up from his chair was too funny
13:21 the guy tries to talk like Conor, but sounds like romero
“A HOUND OF APLOUZE FO YOU GUYS” -Paulo Costa 😂
You know a press conference crazy when Henry the most chill one there
Henry pushing 40 my guy it makes sense
Maybe I’m crazy but Henry looked to me like he was having a rough weight cut.
He was chewing gum, just like TJ was when he fought Henry. @@Weeks25
LoL like the Henry vs Aljo Press conference
"Merab!!!!! your next!"😂
10:53
The way Volk pretends to struggle to get up was hilarious😭
So good LMAO Volk is the best
Nice to see comedy gold
i laughed hard; that was the best response to ilias "do something".
He made all the serious trash talk by topuria sound ridiculous.
#1 actor and #1 145er😂
Yo, I died
I have to say that was a great press conference, we havent had one like this in a long time
Sterling vs Cejudo?
The crowd got in Topuria's head more than Volk
😂
And now you all suddebly act like fans or are silent🤡 And new.
haha ilia called it "you all gonna be my fans after i knockout volk so shuttup"
Costa pushing Ian garry down the stairs is fucking hilarious 😂
when?
@@poapy 28:32 not that funny tbh
Come on. That was funny as hell on my standards. Given how trigerred Ian is.@@Flukex-ew7yo
He gently tapped him. You haters really be seeing things that aren't there 🤡
@@ChickentorchicI don’t think you know what the difference between a tap and a push is 😭
Paulo pushing Ian out of his way is the funniest thing 😂
When?😂 i didn’t notice that
Where??
@wag1ww985 @28:32
28:32 😂🤣
Costa defending the crowd that’s why
This presser was ALOT better than I expected 😂
Paulo helping Volk in the bit was gold. Costa would be a fun champ!
Lmao did he go over there an wake him up? 💀
Ian getting booed and almost resorting to tears is a thing of beauty 😂😂
He was looking to Geoff Neal for comfort with the hand shake thing and I guess Geoff felt bad for his ass and said “sure bro” 😭
I don't like Ian Garry too but... resorting to tears? You only see reality as you want it to be, not as it is, right? Trump supporter? 🤣
Not really it’s kinda sad why are you all so mean
@mbid12 it's not sad. Ian brought it on himself for being a karen
@@nevamore1984 What's reality to you? You don't know the difference between men and women and you think Biden is a mentally healthy young man. Those that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Ian was just 10 seconds from breaking into tears .
he wasnt allowed to cry yet. wife and husband must be there and ian in the corner
It's so weird how everybody is obsessed with his personal life, just enjoy the fights
Ian’s voice shaking harder than the hotel bed his wife is in while he’s at the press conference

Ayo 💀
26:59 alex is SAVAGE with his quick wit
That shit was perfect on beat, addressed everything he possibly could eloquently and accurately to his situation . Fuckn marvelous
Lol Paulo Costa pushing Ian Garry down the steps 💀💀
Ian v costa would be a fun fight. Costa is one tough dude
W costa
I saw that Costa is a fool🤣🤣🤣
Omg he like touched him 💀💀💀💀💀💀
Other than senior citizen Volk, the Costa push was the highlight.
Topuria trying to bring the heat for some footage for his documentary, now they're forced to use footage bringing the heat against old man Volk who can barely stand up 🤣🤣
😂🤣
Again* lol
It'll comfuse some viewers 😂
what the f, this is genius
Emojis are gay
Old man Volk needs to be an unlockable character in the next UFC game
My favorite moment was probably Costa chanting “secret juice” with fist outstretched exposing his sweaty arm pits after facing of with Whittaker. LOL
8:43 Old man Volk enters

You are well appreciated sir 🤣
Anyone else notice that Ilia got almost the exact same back tattoo as Conor? Weird guy
Lmao
Ufc have some crazy shit lmao
such a casual. just because someones arrogant they think theyre mcgregor ahhahahah
Volk snorring while Ilia was talking killed me 😆😆
If only that were true
How you type that whilst dead 🤓
@@Xplicid I'm just like Jesus! I came back just to prove a point 😆
What a great character, comin out as a senior citizen 😂
Volk snoring after Illia Knocked him out killed me😂😂
Volk's response after Ilia disrespectfully took his belt shows that Volk is really a man of character. 🙌🙌👏👏
Still got flatlined
This fight card has me more hyped than officially the best card UFC 300
Costa waking up volk was hilarious 😭😂😭

Volk is a legend for that outfit.
Shit. This was epic. I wish Volk had done this earlier fights 😊
When he walked out I busted out laughing so hard… I love it!!!
Stipe? Shouldnt it be Jones ducking?
He killed it 😂😅
I know who I'm going ad on Halloween
I can’t believe i lived to see such a moment
Thought Henry was coming out in his Christmas onesie. 😂😂
@@MemeSFX 😂😂😂😂
Garry was 3 boo's away from crying. 😂😂😂
He was on such thin ice with it, I swear😂
If strickland was there he would surely have cried.
He isn't on social media, and the people around him are telling him he's a star and everyone is there to see him. He JUST realised 99% don't like him. Quite sad really
@user-nq9hi3go1q I'm almost confident he knew people dont like him he's a human being getting publicly boo'ed will hurt your feelings
@vegetablackpotato4700 yeah if you're soft LoL what happen to all that arrogance he had , plenty of fighters get booed an embrace it, enjoy it even
“YOU NEVER SEE ME DEAD” - Mexican Merab
😂😂
Ian’s voice shaking harder than the hotel bed his wife is in while he’s at the press conference
The support for merab is crazy😂. Loving it
I don't think Topuria needed to go down this route, his confidence was enough, this just felt weird.
Yeah now i think alex is comfortable in knowing ilia is copying conor..the fact that he was so confident was enough now alex knows its an act
@@ShortnSweets2s bro everyone knew it was an act
Volk has no personality 🥱🥱🥱
@Giorginho no but still ilia having this aura about how he is confident would have created some doubts in alex...about what if he does have an ace ...but it's fake bravado acting like mcgregor vs aldo
Volk has a boring personality. At least now if Topuria knocks out Volk, he will become a star
Oh Costa is epic, he's like a flamboyant coked up host of some expensive restaurant and you go back for him everytime.
Yep😂
HAHAHAHA
Hes always on coke, Nina's interview as well hahaha
perfect way to put him dressews good talks like he's cokde up
Dresses like hes in miami in the 80s 😂@VishJR07
Alexander and Merab are same quality fighter never give up 💪
“You never see me dead” “Ok?” 😆😆😆
"talking about a red panty night, he likes to wear the red panties" 💀
I don't know why that didn't get a big reaction
Volk is hilarious
Cos it was a dumb crowd
Because it was an unintelligent crowd
Wasn’t funny bro
He didn’t say that
I thought it was hilarious. People sleeping on it harder thank volk did illia
Merab pulling out the Mexican flag was legendary 😂 bro is likable asf
For some people, he ain’t
His fighting style isn't.
Legendary don't mean what it used to, I guess. WOW! A FLAG!!!
O WOW!!!!
😂😂I been saying that all week this dude is low-key likable af
Cejudo was born and raised in the US and chose to represent the US like every logical person should do. It's the US that made Cejudo what he is today so it makes sense why he chose to represent the US
Alex's costume was brilliant
28:32 loved seeing Costa push Ian while Ian was flipping off fans
That boo really bothered Ian........his voice was shivering
+@mixtape111
His voice is always like this, thats why they call him "the stuttering prick". He is arrogant and cocky like Conrad, but also awkward und unsecure when talking like Luke Rockhold.
It was palpable. Then he wanted positive approval so went with the awkward “I’ll shake your hand if you shake mine”
He was looking for love from anywhere after being affected by those boos.
It really showed how much that bothered him, but of course he’ll pretend it didn’t in the “future”

Paulo does not give 2 fucks LMAO
lol i didnt see that till you pointed it out, good for Costa

10:54 Volk getting out the chair killed me😂😂😂
You can tell Volk has a bad back from age, Ilia was really rude to put him in pain like that ☹️☹️☹️
@@Driolo95your high if you really think that
@@kjhelms829 not as high as you, I can still detect sarcasm
@@Driolo95Volk messed up his back beatin the piss outa Ilia
It hit harder now that i rewatch 😅😅😅😅
This is where Topuria won the fight 32:44 & this is coming from a huge Volk fan.
So you're saying Ilia got in his head ? Idk Volk fought like he always does he just got caught badly this time
Henry Cejudo's Santa outfit was GREAT!
I don’t think we’ve ever seen Volk look this determined to whoop someone’s ass before
I personally root for Ilia but if he lose i think Ilia needed the loss, maybe it can humble him and it would be great to lose to Volk, big lesson there
@@elmoferrel3942you must be from his country, only reason anyone would be a fan of that guy 😂🤦🏻♂️His attitude and personality suck! Very unlikable dude…sure, great fighter but he’s not as great as he thinks he is….nothung we haven’t seen before. He needs to get humbled soon….
@@DRJTUBECHANNEL no, i'm an Asian, i just like Underdog, also, Ilia is a good prospect that's why i root for him but yeah, he's arrogant and think too highly that's why like i said, if he lose, he needed that, to become humble and bounce back better like Volk said in the Press, i won't be disappointed in him win or lose
@@DRJTUBECHANNELcome back on Saturday
@@elmoferrel3942my filipino friend said the same thing, what is with asians loving the latinos/spanish?
The amount of talent on 1 card is INSANE 😮
The difference between this card and the last is insane. I’m more hyped about this card than chito and O’Malley
Heh, ok noob.
And no WMMA either. A great card

Bro he barely tapped him, shut up
you can say whatever about Ilia, but this divison was dead until he came in
Mexican Merab and Russian speaking Cejudo is hilarious
14:54 He said "я тебя порву", which means "i will tear you appart"
Russian or georgian ?
@@vatossureno Russian
Sounded pretty good actually
@@vatossurenomany Georgians can also speak Russian
Dude is so ignorant he doesn’t even know people here talks Georgian not Russian. He really set himself up even in this fight camp that he is truly the best, the Goat Cringe King
Can’t wait to see ilia on a “when trash talking goes wrong” compilation
You'll be waiting awhile for that then 😂
😂😂😂 keep waiting casual
lmaooooo you volk fans are so mad stay crying
This didn’t age well yall got it , he won’t have it for too long tho
@luiswho gonna beat him ? pedroza4306
So stoked for this card! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I found the lack of Ian Garry slander highly disturbing
He dodged a bullet with this card lol if he were on the same card as Sean or Colby, he would be hearing it
It’s because people are losing interest in Garry plus no one was asking him questions
Love the replays. Great job ufc.
Topuria came, he conquered it and he left as a new champ.
Was at this presser in person, the crowd was absolutely nuts 😂
SAMEE!!!
Is it extra to get into a press conference? How does that work?
Volk's decision to just have a laugh up there on stage took _all_ of the wind out of Ilia's sails 😆 It was legitimately a brilliant strategy. Ilia wanted to be taken very seriously by Volk and the crowd, so it destroyed any momentum he was trying to build when Volk would reciprocate his chest-beating with an old man joke lmfao. I thought I couldn't love this man any more than I did but here we are. AND STILL!!!
Illia trying too hard to get footage for his movie
Glazeeeee
I get what your saying lads but I actually think he handled it well considering the booing he was getting 😂and you know for a fact most of that crowd would be cheering for him in the future if he gets the belt, fans are fickle
@@dranreb1118why is anyone making a movie on this guy
How do you feel now buddy?
'Never. You never see me dead.' - Classic from Merab
4 real!!!
😂😂😂😂
Merab waving a Mexican flag, Henry telling him he'll rip him apart in Russian. Then them yelling at eachother is the funniest thing😂😂😂😂
If Ilia doesn't win, we might see the biggest melt down post a title fight in the history of UFC. It would be really embarassing after how he has behaved in the lead up to the fight 😂
That's what makes this fight so appealing 😂 if he losses idk how he will face the public lol
Everyone on the left of anik is gonna win lol
@user-vi9zm5ss4f Way to speak actual sense, buddy. Ilia will be fine. Clowned on a little perhaps, but I'm sure he'll handle it well. If he loses, he'll have another chance eventually.
He seems like the type to throw a tantrum like KSI did. 😂
@user-vi9zm5ss4f he is not even close to a 50-50 fight. Who has he fought to make it a 50-50 fight? The guy can punch that's it
The way Volk stands up absolutely hilarious 10:54
he does the old man stand prettty well
Exactly how he was standing up after getting KOd by Islam and now Ilia, no wonder he's so good at it
18:21 “ 🧍🏻♂️Same question. Ian Garry- 🔊💥💥🤬👿🎚️📢💣🤬🤬🖕💥👹🗑️🫵”
I am convinced that Geoff Neal and Neil Magny are the same person.
Paulo “The Hound of Applause” Costa
Shout out to Henato Laranja
So good to see Volk getting some love really has earnt it.
I think because ilia is hated more. People want to see Volk humble him so badly
Even though I'm Georgian and I'm with Ilia and Merab in this fight, I have tremendous respect and admiration for Volk. What a personality and what a fighter! It will be hell of a fight guys! Let's go!!!!!
You guys like it or not Topuria is the villain we all needed even coner in his time was mostly hated hell even i hated the dude but its all about how you use that hate and i can tell that T is using this energy if he gets the job done by finish a new start is born
18:28 - You can literally see Ian's heart break and the voice cracking, self comforting follows..... LOL
Yea he was about to cry!!!!
Dude he literally almost started crying lmao
Man it’s 2 AM here and I can’t stop laughing imagining his face
Those boos had ian garry shook!!! He sounded like he was gonna cry
Y'all are exaggerating, dude's voice has always been kinda squeaky, even when he was roasting Magny lol.

Never thought Volk could troll someone so hard at a presser, amazing stuff

Wish Sean Or Colby was there. Garry would literally cry
Topuria should consider narrating Spanish whiskey commercials when he gets schooled
