When Ariel ask why did you attend the press conference after getting knocked out? "Look, I'm going to be there when I win and I'm going to be there when I lose" That right there tells you how authentic Volk is. The way he carries himself in victory or ( a very rare) defeat is a real champ mindset 👏 Hopefully he remains stable from here till February 👊

Makhachev lost the first match, first of all only the judges gave him some benefits of the doubt cause he is abu dhabi favorite with all the hype he gets and he was the champ, secondly he got knockout years ago by a nobody so he is not perfect either , volkanovski lost that one of course cause of many things, timing and as he said he was a bit delusional he risk too much that he did accept the fight, now we have to wait and see next lightweights, and last of this , you don't tell me what to do and who i do write about on the internet, as you have no power over this , here i respond you like this , irl i fix your attitude in MMA terms, and you like Islam Makhachev VS (ADRIANO MARTINS)

@steveknick1978 5 месяцев назад

Alex's legacy is secure IMO. - 20+ straight wins in MMA. - He beat Max (another featherweight legend) 3x, beat Aldo (previous featherweight legend). - 5 featherweight title defenses (& counting) He took a risk, got a massive payday & it didn't work out. No one should punish him for it. His legacy will only grow if he finds a way to win again at featherweight. I usually like to see a fighter take a full year off after a KO, but we'll see how this Topuria fight goes.

@timchurch2390 5 месяцев назад

Yeah I think its a bad idea to fight again so soon. It wasn't just the head kick, it was getting his head stuck on Islam's knee while Islam was pummeling it from above like a hammer and anvil.

@healthwithmarcus 5 месяцев назад

Sometimes it's like Ariel doesn't understand what the fighter is actually saying. Like when Ariel implies Volk referred to "timing" as not having more time. But that's not exactly what Volk meant. Volk meant timing in regards to the unfortunate mental space he was in which affected his physical as well. Volk wasn't harping on "more time." He was harping on when it HAPPENED to have happened. This may seem insignificant but I don't think it is. And I've seen Ariel do this many times and it's frustrating because the damn fighter is pouring their heart out only to be misunderstood in some fleeting response.

@GLOBAL-INTIFADA 5 месяцев назад

@klawsraught 5 месяцев назад

@lollercoaster4 5 месяцев назад

People are so quick to forget, this is the featherweight GOAT we're talking about. Still in his prime. As long as he doesn't overdo his stay into his 40s when a decline is inevitable, I don't see anyone currently in the division beating him. There will need to be new blood and a world beater to take that belt from the man. Islam has proven he is the monster many thought he was and Volk taking that fight on 10 days notice after admitting to being a little out of shape and in relaxation (drinking) mode was just a bad decision in retrospect. He's not getting beat by lowly Ilia, this is EZ money. Max would destroy Ilia and we know how each and every Max fight went ;)
