Alexander Volkanovski In Studio: Henry Cejudo Needs to Prove Himself - MMA Fighting 

Volkanovski spent like 15 minutes trying to hype up the rest of his division to earn a title shot. What a legend

What a guy! As much as he is starting to get his due, Volk is criminally underrated! The UFC needs to do more to market their "good guys" rather than just focus on their sociopaths.

Volk beat Holloway twice, beat Aldo, beat Ortega, beat Zombie. He is on his way to become the FW GOAT. Give this man the respect he deserves.

AS a huge fan of the UFC since it even started, I couldn't be prouder of this man that represents Australia... As an Aussie myself, it is refreshing to see Aussies making a strong presence in UFC... Alex is what we Aussies are about, strong, proud, determined and hard working... above all this man has respect for others and has no need for trash talking like such fools such as Colby and Masvidal ... The world is drawn to the show ponies with mouths that utter childish immaturity.. Bless this man and his family, he represents what is good in this sport, a true warrior with nothing but pure presence of a true champion...

Alex is the man .! I’m so proud to see him represent Australia and talk about the meaning of his town in the aboriginal meaning! ! Keep that belt brother.. and keep them good manners you have …😀

Volk is just a regular dude who's really really good at fighting. it's weird how thats refreshing when it should be the norm.

Idgaf what anyone says, Alex is entertaining inside and outside of the cage. The world is sleeping on a future GOAT.

Guy doesn’t get the recognition he deserves, he’s the complete package, so technical, great heart and puts on entertaining fights, speaks well and sets a great example for up and coming fighters. Really cool guy and one of the most technical and cerebral fighters that I’ve ever seen in the octagon. The real hardcores can see it 👍🏼

Volk is a beast, I would love to see him fight Ngannou.

It's so refreshing to see two grown adult men talk like it. Hate when a fighter comes in as a fighter. The ego. The talk. It's getting old. Just two good dad's talking here. Champions outside the ring.

In studio interviews are always special. This was great, Volk is the man!

I always been a fan but the way Volk handled himself and the respect he showed to zombie was awesome. I've watched ufc since the beginning. Those are the qualities I look for in a fighter and make me a fan. I really wish more fighters would follow your lead. Volk your a good man and a true champion. Congratulations to you and your family.

Hopefully people start to put some respect on this mans’ name!

He is seriously a cut above his entire division. So technical and so precise. He needs to fight at least four times a year.

I really like Alex. Great Fighter, great mindset and overall good man

People should re-watch his fight with Ortega and see that a Gracie black belt couldn't submit him with two clean chokes. Volk's mental toughness is underrated. You just can't break him mentally while he checks all other boxes like technique, game plan. He will be a threat to many top guys in 155. He can be champion at 155.

😂 the look of disgust on Volks face when Ariel said he likes his steak cooked well done.

When does Volk ever not bring the fight. Absolute warrior and role model. Excited to see more of his growth.

No disrespect to Cejudo he can't even beat Volk. The guy is on another level

Ya have to love this dude..humble.. respectful..great fighter

Both Zombie and Ortega were broken at the end of round 3.

In his post interview he said some interesting things. I like how he called out the other guys in the division. It was not cocky but confident. As the champ has has earned the right to fight any and everybody. They have to earn it. He is basically telling them to climb the ladder like he did. Do it, get to number one, and you get your shot. He is talking about getting better and he is the champ. That will take him far. Ariel mentioned boxing throws in the towel. I've only seen it once, but it was while the ref was calling the fight. That was when Josh Thompson beat Nate Diaz. Nate's corner threw in the towel as Josh was finishing Nate. There is no shame in that. The Diaz are still widely respected. "Kill or be killed" I like Volk's concern for the Zombie. When they were talking about it, just after Ariel mentioned boxing, I thought about George Forman vs Joe Frazier. Now the zombie was done and not at death's door so it's not the same, but it sounds like it George turned to the ref after several knock downs. You can hear people in the audience yelling to stop the fight.

Ariel I just wanted to say that ur style of interviewing is really spectacular. You always have a question ready and the conversation is always so free flowing. Great job

What an awesome show of respect for Volk and a cool twist to an already awesome show.

I love that story about how he almost gave up on chasing his Dream! Love this guy, to me he's the #2 Pound for Pound Best!

Put some respect on this man’s name

That was absolutely riveting TV! No sarcasm at all loved it especially Ariel struggling with the heat lol

He looks like he's on another level rn Need to see him at 155 eventually

If you don't like this man then you have to at least respect him. He's constantly getting better and never satisfied even as the champ on a 20 fight winning streak!

Big fan of Volk and this cooking segment is amazing. Truly enjoyed this. Thanks for all the content.

Such a humble and determined guy.. love watching his fights..

An absolute legend .. much love from ky volk. Props to the mma hour

Alex has given us some exciting fights lately, good man. Should for sure move up to lightweight, which would be interesting.

12:57 is when they talk about Cejudo

Ive been a pretty big critic of this guy but its hard to not like this dude. Good for him. Keep it up Volk.

What a great interview, love the ckb boys from the Anzac’s

You could hear crickets when this guy was fighting. He deserves so much more. What a beast.

I'd much rather see Volk move up to lightweight and give the top 5 some problems. I feel like he has the power and speed to take over that division as well

A true warrior and perfect champion. Down to Earth, great family man and insanely driven to win.

Loving the new confidence. Suits a skilful champ like Volk well

Its captivating to watch greatness What a great champ in talking and fighting 👏🏻

Most underrated fighter on the roster, and he's a champ.

kudos to you Ariel for somehow seeing our newspaper articles from down under 🤝🇦🇺 you’re a different breed in this game.

Very fun very real, great chats

Been a fan ever since he Out Chaded Mendez. Glad he’s doing so well in his career

Have to say im a huge max fan...but volk deserves all the respect! He is a true champ...he is truely levels above everyone!

Great interview Ariel Alex is a great guy and a wise one I always enjoy listening

Volk is such a savage man and at the same time an absolute stand up guy. True definition of a warrior.

Awesome interview. I’m a fan of Volkswagen after this. Knew he was a great fighter but he’s also very likeable so I’m a fan now

That was the best volk this past Saturday so Far. He was the fastest landing clean powerful-shots. He beat the zombie from bell to bell and it was clear he was levels above him

so much respect to this man. Definitely one of the top pound for pound fighters in the world.

alex a legend in the making appreciate him now while hes doing his best work🤙

Alex is a 220lb FW and it's about the best way to describe what you're facing when you fight him.

Alexander the GREAT! HES A SPECIAL PERSON ALL AROUND. ESPECIALLY IN THE CAGE THO!!!

Alexander Volkanovski!!! What a beast this guy is. Don't think anyone will beat him anytime soon!! I have a lot of respect for this man. I think he's a former rugby player, if I'm not mistaken, which makes him very durable and downright tough.

Great fighter and hell of a guest. Guy's such a natural in front of a camera. Get him a tv spot or show.

He’s so classy he should fight who he wants and when

Volk has grown on me - he earned a life long fan

Proper bloke. Respect to you sir, humble af,hard af

This was the best segment in a long time imo

He looked unbeatable in that octagon on Saturday night. Laser focused, in flow state, pinpoint speed. I don't think he should go up to 155; he's 5'6. Him and Cejudo need to fight and some of the 135ers need to try moving up too. Cejudo and Volk have a good few years of fighting left (Cejudo sitting out and wasting his prime years was dumb but at least he's coming back) but the named 135ers like TJ or Cruz are getting old now. Maybe they'll move up soon too. The UFC also need to seriously consider resigning DJ. There's a lot of things I would like to see happen if I'm honest.

This man is the most grossly underrated fighter of our generation, and maybe of all time.

Volk is just real & geniuine respectful person. Got to love him.

I've always liked Alex since he showed up on the scene but he's really won me over his last handful of fights. As soon as I see him compete against Max he's proven just how very good he is. Great dude, great Champion, great ambassador to the sport of MMA

Korean Zombie was a tough dude, mad respect to him. This guy right here, man on another level. And a Great champion, show mercy when he didn't have too.

Volk is quickly becoming a legend. The Blue Collar Champ

Hard work equals Alex...big fan!!

Great conversation.

Good to see an Aussie ex rugby player doing so well in MMA... a great backstory.

Honestly after the Ortega fight he shouldn't have anything but pure respect from mma fans. Gained a fan in me from that one. Actually a real cool guy, humble and everything. Like him alot

What a great WARRIOR/FIGHTER 👍 respect 🙌 💪

He has climbed that mountain , I was impressed with hand speed and counter shots ..

I’d love to see him go up and fight for the LW belt. Volkanovski vs Oliveira intrigues me

The best MMA fighter in the world right now.

Volkanovski is on another level such an amazing fighter/ athlete. He is perfect for all training brands (Nike adidas and Colombia northface). Messi in ufc

Great interview! Alexander the great volcano!

Volk is a beast man, one of the best no doubt. Soo soo dominant, reminds me of the Aldo of the WEC

I am a Zombie fan, but Volkanovski beat him by a long mile and with class. There are clips of Volkanovski asking the question and then shaking his head as if to say "alright, it's on you." His concern and the ref's concern were warranted. Zombie would have popped up and would have kept putting his head in front of Volkanovski's punches. With punches to the head, it's the damage you don't feel that harms you the most. Memories of Ray Boom Boom Mancini's match with the Korean boxer back in the day.

Love this guy 👏 long love the great 👑

Would love to see Volk vs Poirier when he moves upto lightweight. True test for volk and an amazing fight right there.

His only mistake is to defeat Max two times by inches, thats why all fans have bitter sweet taste about him. That on side, dude is amazing fighter, fight iq, adaptation true fight .. phenomenal!

Can't wait to see him move up and put a hurtin on some bigger guys.

Much respect and love to Volk. A great champ!!

Legit, Ariel is respected by UFC fighters, man of integrity 👏 👌 🙌 👍 💯 🙏

Emmett deserves a big fight too man. Let's not forget about him. I want to see Allen vs Emmett and Kattar vs Zabit 2. I also want Zombie to rest up good and come back to fight Shane Burgos. The boxing in that fight would be great to see in MMA.

he's gonnna be champ for a long time i think

Volk has been one of my favorites since the Mendes fight. He just has a cool style.

Legend!

Henry "I deserve a title shot without earning it" Cejudo

I thought zombie had a chance because of his crafty style. Volk is unbelievable

Alex is a great fighter getting better every fight

Best Champ/person ever! Love that man!

Volkanovski finally being taken seriously as P4P top 5

GOAT

Was a life fan after seeing his first fight. Now I'm a fan even in death after seeing him leave the octagon last, during away in respect as Zombie cried on the floor and having his corner not celebrate more than needed after the win. Respect for life.

As a huge Max and T-City fan, it’s been hard to look at this guy objectively, But I can’t deny he’s a rightful champion. He’s a great fighter and seems like such a good guy. I really hope he goes to 155 becomes double champ.

Volks in the house.yeah boi.

He is on another level, yet still wanna see that Max vs Volka 3¡💯💪

So good to have Ariel back at MMAFighting. I'll be honest, I never really watched his show on ESPN. Don't know why exactly but, I didn't.

No matter who u support got to love this man 💚
