Alexander Volkanovski is the greatest featherweight of all time. Regardless of what happens in the Islam fight, I think he can come back down and rattle off 3/4 more title defenses. And here’s the part that no one ever talks about: he might be one of the best strikers we’ve ever seen. He doesn’t look like it, but in terms of effective striking, he beat Max Holloway in 13/15 rounds...standing right in front of him. He absolutely mauled Ortega and Zombie on the feet, to the point it was nearly hard to watch. Ladies and gentlemen, that’s one of the best strikers the game as ever seen, like it or not
If Volk can just threaten Islam from barging in and dance and box in the Octagon, Volks is going to be the GOAT. And that’s what he’s working on at this fckin moment. Legendary.
It's hard to argue that Volk isn't the 145 goat , he's beat both of the best besides him in Aldo , and Max (3 times) I don't like his chances against Islam , he hasn't fought a grappler like him and Islam is gonna have a massive size advantage and Islam's striking is very underrated, he's got a very good jab and left kick to the body and he's very good defensively, I do think Volk will make it competitive and not get ran though easily
@@SBAssociation volk has done well against fighters that bring heavy pressure (ortega,max,KZ) but Islam is a different kind of pressure and is gonna be twice his size after rehydration, volk really needs to stay on the outside and attack him with angles , I'm just worried about Volk kicking too much Islam could single leg him real quick
I think people thought hollway won because they couldn't believe someone tactically broke down max with the leg kicks. So they were just in complete denial. Volk won this pretty convincingly. Max maybe won 2 rounds max but imo 1
@@RxllieVsDaWrld was such a close fight always change my mind on it atm I think max won but there’s a good argument for both. But fr thou probably one of the most entertaining and technical trilogys we’ve ever seen respect to both
Damn y’all fr God zero faith in my man Max he might not be able to beat Alexander but I think if Alexander gets dethroned by Islam Max could definitely get a title shot
I like Max alot but Volk exposed serious holes in his game that have been there for years Max doesn't do well against people with great footwork and faints like Volk , and Max doesn't move his head enough and doesn't check leg kicks , the leg kicks were key in the first 2 fights
Very close but I still can't believe how many people had max winning this fight, although I would say he definitely won the 2nd fight and the 3rd was the least competitive Volk really leveled up
8:39 it'd looks like it'd be competitive between a flyweight and volk size wise, how he'll beat a big lightweight in Islam is gonna be interesting, because volk is so tough, but i feel like islam is way too big for him, especially with his dominant smothering wrestling style. i cant wait
Max had a good switch up for that 2nd fight and scored three knockdowns I feel like with most fans the narrative in the 3rd fight was that max was the uncrowned champ especially after battering kattar.
I wonder what could happening to volkanovski if he didnt got the spilt decision!! Holloway is the best champ 145,volkanovski lives way over his head(humble 😂 fanboys)
FOOKIN JUST NOW LEARNT THAT VOLK WAS PLAYING RUGBY LEAGUE. LOST ALL MY RESPECT IN AN INSTANT. MY DUMB ASS PRAISIN HIM LEFT AND RIGHT THINKIN IT WAS THE REAL RUGBY
