#UFCSaudiArabia #UFC #AlexanderVolkov - Sport
Probably what happened: The UFC told Volkov Sergei had accepted in an effort to get Volkov to accept the fight. Then they told Sergei that Volkov had accepted in an effort to get Sergei to accept. They hate teammates not fighting each other, so they're willing to pull this type of stuff to get the fight to happen. Did the same thing to Browne/Arlovski back in the day.
This is exactly what happened, ufc like to make bad blood beteen friends it is not new
Horrible tactics what they do
he said (which was not translated) .. ''that if you want the fight not to happen (talking about when Ali asked him not to accept) . then they should put more effort into that and not say i'll fight Volkov if he would accept it , putting me in a bad position where i can not decline the fight'' ... and thats what ended up happening .. if Volkov would decline the fight which the other side from the perspective of the UFC is willing to accept then it will only backlash in Volkovs face and he will be the ''runner and dodger'' and end up getting low or unranked fights in the future
@@Truhandle91 Well said
And before any of that the ufc announced the fight to put pressure on them to accept the fight lol
Volkov looked amazing
Pause
Nice to see some sort of appreciation to him . He's really skilled and technical fighter. And the fact that he got a bonus from Dana is even better. I thought typically Dana is shitting on such fights

Sergei Pavlobitch versus the class act of Alexander Volkov.
Alexander "I will call the cops" Covington 😂😂😂😂
@@trapperoftheyear267 Yeah, then call his 'hairdresser' 😂
Stfu don't be disrespectful
@@crazypato3752 Okay Crazy 🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@@trapperoftheyear267 it was ironic , just like when he said each Sergueï's punch knocked him down in sparring. He is always sarcastic like this .
You're not a 45 yo part time firefighter, Jones ain't gonna fight you sorry
And Aspinall who's the real Champ, already finished him very quickly.
@@donnyrockett7490blaydes finished Thomas very quickly
@PrimeTonysElbows even Blaydes doesn't consider that a win. Blaydes didn't check a kick, didn't kick him, didn't do anything to cause that injury. I'm not diminishing Volkov. He's a fucking beast and he's improved since losing to Blaydes for sure. Does he beat Blaydes? Not sure. I think Volkov is the 3rd or 4th best HW in the world and personally I think Aspinall is the best HW in the World.
@@donnyrockett7490no offence bro volkov would only lose to blaydes cuz of His pillow Hands if volkov gained power He would easily beat blaydes but idk if volkovs wrestlings improved And even with blaydes negative IQ volkovs pillow Hands would Allow Him to get take downs if volkovs improved take down defence I believe He would beat blaydes Aspinal And possible jones but All 3 would just take Him down cuz volkov As seen Against gane is tricky on the feet went to A close fight with gane
@Userddd612 Yeah, but the last time they fought, it was in a smaller cage in the Apex, which really benefited Blaydes as the grappler. In a bigger cage with more room for Volkov to move it could possibly change the fight for Volkov but again, that's why I said I'm really not sure who would win a rematch but I do think Volkov would have a better chance in a bigger cage if it was in front of an audience
''If he tries to attack me, I'll call the cops'' 🤣
Legend 😂
Smart. Only fight for money not charges, unlike many other fighters. A true class act.
Russian Colby😂
Smart.
@@yona1an Nope, the big difference is that Alex does not try to insult anyone or lie, he is not afraid of anyone, plus his moral principles correspond to a russian person, he has a concept of dignity and honor, his jokes are not evil. Just another level.
Добродушный он человек, если коротко.
Volkov is one of the best of guys to never fight for a title
He really is. His problems have been mostly bad luck, rather than pure lack of elite skills. He literally schooled Derrick the entirety of the fight, for example, until that last second, when Derrick pulled that KO out of his hot ass, something Derrick could easily do, when when he's totally "out" of a fight from a skill stand point.. and is being out pointed or taken down at will.... He could swing that black beast fist and that's that for the winning guy...
Quite a few fights that Volkov EASILY dominated, if they hadn't had sudden ending against him like that, or if they hadn't gone to questionable decisions... he could have fought for the title.
@kiabtoomlauj6249 true but who he wasn't unlucky against was Aspinall. Aspinall who is the real Champ right now, took Volkov down and finished him quickly. The Derrick Lewis fight he was winning the entire fight and got dumb the last like 15 seconds. But yeah Volkov is so good.
He was Champ in bellator and m1 i think , people say b leauges but are build like a bag of milk and never fought
@sirbrettvonbrettinger2730 I think what he doesn't get enough credit for is his durability and even at this stage he keeps improving. It's insane that Volkov has fought the number of heavy hitters he has fought and just in the last 8 years in the UFC he has only been caught 1 time in a fight he was dominating against Derrick Lewis but obv had a lapse in concentration and in what 48 fights only been KO'ed 2 times. Pretty crazy and he's fought pretty much everyone.
You wouldnt bust a grape@@sirbrettvonbrettinger2730
not a single comment on this dudes hair. just look at how heavenly combed it is!
Volkov is just a humble, straightforward guy. UFC is likely culpable for the confusion.
Ive wanted to see Volkov vs Jones for the longest time. Stylistic nightmare for Jon.
Idk about that. Aspinal took him down and submitted him 1st round, Gane outclassed him, Blaydes wrestled him for all 5 rounds, etc....
Oh god here we go again , this guy beats jones , that guy beats jones . 😂😂😂
Volkov has no ground game, would unfortunatelly look like aspinal vs Volkov all over again.
@@Johhnypunch887 not true he has ground game, just not on that level
@@MrRobjs83 Blaydes did nothing except hold onto him for that fight. With no clock Blaydes was going to die against Volkov
Since volkov put on some weight hes a monster
Volkov vs Aspinal 2 anyone?
Honestly when Volkov is on, he's something to behold. I will never forget him beating the shit out of Derrick Lewis literally right up until the last second KO.
tom smoked him theres no reason for it unless he wins another fight to get a shot
@@Dan-iy2nr Okay, so who would you give the title shot too after Blaydes then? I'm tryna see somethin
Tom didnt smole him. Tom was getting smoked on the feet like with arlovski till he went to wrestling @Dan-iy2nr
@@Dan-iy2nr I swear to GOD if you say Gane you are such a fucking casual bro LOL 😂😂😂
@@nilesrodriguez4343 Gane certainly doesnt deserve it , but for whatever reason UFC gives Gane some favoritism, probabbly cus he is european, so i think its more likely to happen Gane Vs Tom. Tom already ran through Volkov so they probabbly dont wanna see it again.
Class act. I like him.
Not at all, he not humble in this view
@@GggGgg-ek3dw So what do you think about what Sergei did after their fight?
Damn Volk owned in and outside the octagon.
Sergei's stock has plummeted
Feel sorry for the current heavyweights, stuck in a division where the champion will only fight one guy, and that happens near the end of the year. Which means this whole year is a waste on their careers as far as it concerns being champion
The heavyweights technically have two champions. They all have the opportunities to become interim heavyweight champions.
Thx to johny bonny
well if he didnt get injured it would have all been over by now. People are saying he is ducking Tom, but Tom was like #5 or even lower when Jon got the tittle and even before it he said he would fight Stipe, Tom was never on Jones radar, he has lots of work to do so Jones has reason to fight him.... i think people are far too focused on fcking jon jones, if u dont know by now that he is one of the ufc's favorites fighters.... idk what to tell you, keep ur hopes up people :D anyway i hope Stipe sleeps him
It's sickening
Jones behaves this way because the UFC lets him.
In my opinion, this type of favouritism is one of the three prime factors holding back the whole sport of MMA, given that the UFC is the most prominent MMA organisation.
Congratulations UFC Matchmakers, you just broke a good friendship
Idk man, Pav might not have been such a good bud after all.
The best joke wasnt translated. At the end Volkov said that he gladly would have fight for BMF belt against Lewis and somebody else same night
Russian humor is so subtle 😂
Dude, even half of Russian don't realize where is the truth in his interview 😅
Volkov is so cool.
looks very humble person and he won the fight sergi should accept his defeat
Volkov was on yesterday. My poor Sergei was checked bad. Happy to see Alexander win tho! Class act fighter and animal
Professional.
good win Bro didint see that one coming 🙏🏿🇺🇲
Class act
Aspinall smoked both in the first round, just how fkn good is he
And lost to blaydes which get koed by pav in 1st round aswell so mma math doesnt work
@GggGgg-ek3dw that's a little dishonest, isn't it? He lost to Blaydes as a result of taking the fight with a bad knee, not anything Blaydes did.
@@thosewhodig his knee get bad during fight cause of stepping back moves caused by blaydes counter attack, its not an excuse. When someone breakin his leg by wrong executed calfkick its same kind of mistake
It’s a heavyweight it can always go both ways. You know what was a real ass kicking fight , jones vs cane
He just got lucky. Lol.
Great fight u win 🏆
He is funny 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
Can someone please explain to me why they were combing Alexanders hair in between each round. I have never seen that before. It was a great fight congratulations Alexander.
Probably like paddy started braided his hair in recent fight because thick hair like them getting punched by opponents looks more impactful to the judges
@@Az-ov1ti Honestly I couldn't believe it was happening. They were combing his hair in between each round. I couldn't help but laugh. I wonder if that helped him win ?
@@robkearns4761 yeah kinda funny to me also since thats a first time i ever see one. I don't think it that would help him win. Even without the comb thing volkov easy winning with his striking output
7:23 a bit got lost in translation here. Volkov said that Sergey do not decline fights himself and his manager shouldn't have came to him with the offer
Why they even talk about all this , it's fighting- you fight everyone , it's your job , noo i want this i want that , whata cowards
Theyre pro fighters signed to a fight promotion company. Some people just want heckin wholesome friendship tv show where nobody fights because they’re all besties.
@@dylanwright9927 they're not pro fighters they're pro pickers , all those call-outs and stuff became normal , sick of ufc more and more
Looks like they're positioning Volkov vs Aspinall 2 in a title eliminator.
Did you see that smile of Volkov at the beginning of the fight. Men that one was intimidating. Just go back and look at it lol.
He actually smiles before every fight
USA and Brazil fighters face their compatriots every weekend. First time two russians fight: they do it as mandatory, get into a beef, end their friendship, their media goes over the winner and make him a villain for winning the fight 😅.
Volkov is in top form.
Sergei kinda looked like a bully type brawler. Basic.
He always was, all his 5 ko’s in a row were over slow brawlers with no fight iq, Sergei’s only decent win was blaydes
Volkov seems cool and respectful. Pavlovich seemed like a jerk.
Max Holloway vs Volkov fo4 bmf
Gonna have to call the swat team brother, ain't no cops stopping Sergei Pavlovich 😂
Tbf though if he did get jumped Volkov just gotta go another 15 minutes on his ass 😂😂
They didn't comb his hair for this interview.. For shame!
No straight man would ever notice a thing like that
@@johnorson6907you probably didn’t watch the fight, it was just a joke about the fight
@@nestorjed he def didn’t
Volkov has better hair
Credit to Dana for ruining a friendship and make them fight like a sparring match, at least from Sergei.
Pavlovich got his face destroyed, he looked disfigured at the end of the fight. Not sure how that’s a sparring match, Volkov is just better
@@owens7945 Sergei looked different and doesn't seem to be at the right place when it comes to fighting after his loss against Aspinall. He seemed disturbed after the face off and fought like it was a sparring session unlike Volkov.
How on earth did Sergei not knock out this dude?
Loll UFC instigated a fight 🤣 😂 its crazy how that's their job ....such a slimy business
That win Aspinall holds over Sergei lost some of its flare
How? Aspinall destroyed both of them.
@@Lex_Hoopercasuals dont realise he destroyed volkov aswell 😂
people like you need to watch another sport how special can you be lmao tom killed both of them in the first round with ezzzzzzzz
The point of the comment is that Sergei isnt all that after all and that Tom would probably beat Sergei 10 out of 10 times.
Tom literally finished both. what are you even talking about???
pavlopic seperti malas bermain
Sergei vs Robelis next .
You want Robelis to die?
@@jboi6398robelis after that horrible debut to fight a top contender? No way
@@Fony_turgeson second fight
@@Fony_turgesonI just think they have similar styles . It's def not going the distance . Big KO props
@@jboi6398 🤣🤣🤣🤣 no bro. I just had a matchmaking scene in my head
If sergey fought like that vs black beast he would have been laid out
🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
pav washed, pfl time
Pav washed. Because he fought a fighter because he is typically a stylistic nightmare for anyone, but the Americans try to protect their golden boys. So they did these two dirty.
The man literally finished like 5 fights in a row by first-round KO and completely smoked Curtis Blaydes then lost 2 fights and now MMA fans think he’s terrible. Typical.
