  • In this video I discuss why Alexander Volkanovski should avoid a rematch with Ilia Topuria following his KO loss at UFC 298. Although Volk deserves it, taking a rematch will ruin his legacy and I think he should retire, or opt for only easy fights. What do you think? Let me know in the comments.

They did the same with Edwards when he knocked out Usman in Salt Lake City back in 2022, which enabled the UFC to go to England and sell out the O2 arena. It's all about the money. Now with Topuiria, who is way more marketable than Volk, they will get to go to Spain and do the same thing.

    Respectfully, Aldo is still the GOAT of the FW. 9 straight tittle defenses to five isn't comparable. Using Aldo lost to Conor, Max and Volk, isnt an argument when Conor was the only one who beat him in his actual prime. People act like Prime is universal, Aldo is perfect example of a fighter peaking early. He was a world champion at 23, fighting elite opponents at the age of 21. When Aldo was World Champion, Volk had yet even been training MMA. Aldo loss to Merab was his first loss to a fighter not #1 contender or Champion in 17 years. By the looks of it, Merab could end of being a champion at BW.
    Im sorry, Volk may be the better fighter simply of the basis on sport evolution, but he certainly wasn't more dominant not a greater champion than Aldo was. Facts are the facts.

    I predicted that round 1 Ilia was going to struggle a bit as he tries to get used to Volk and get his timing down, but by the second round he'd figure him out, back him up against the fence and knock him out just like in the Jai Herbert fight. Both fights were extremely similar and Ilia honestly reminds me a lot of Anderson Silva with the way he downloads opponents weaknesses early and then exploits them. Volk's biggest shot was this first fight between them, but the element of surprise is gone and in the rematch Ilia won't need a round to figure him out. It's mma and anything could happen but if they fight again there is a huge chance Ilia will finish him in the first round.
    The people calling for the rematch right away remind me of the people who lose at something and immediately say, "again!"

      volks style had completely switched for that fight and it cost him dearly
      he had "islam headkick ptsd"
      one of volks signature movements was him moving off the centre line and catching people out by showing them a area of striking they had never experienced before
      volk was circling out vs islam and he got caught with no space against the cage and got headkick k0'd
      now he was so scared to circle out the same way so he opted for the option of just backing up in a straight line this time?? id never seen him do this before in his entire career, i was so confused
      ilia new this ahead of time or spotted it straight away... all he had to do was step through one of his combos to make the ground back up (dustin poirer style) and volk would of been caught in a awkward position retreating in a straight line
      you could see ilia setting this up 10x until finally volk was near enough to the cage where ilia could make it happen
      the issue we see this year especially in MMA is that if you circle out (your prone to leg kicks and head kicks as you jive one direction)
      and if u refuse to circle out your only other option is to move forward and backwards in and out like a karate point fighter
      but if your opponent understands how to step through a feint and switch lead legs they can ALWAYS make that distance moving forward quicker than you can do it moving backwards

Jose Aldo is the fw goat and Alexander Volkanovski is the 2nd best in fw history and I love both btw so I'm not biased but Jose Aldo IS the featherweight goat. He was more dominant in his prime and beat the same level, if not higher level of competition.

    It was just a matter of time before Volk was going to lose and people would slowly realize that, as of now, Aldo is still in front of Volk in GOAT list. Ofc it's impossible to predict the future.

    then lose to some monster and retire like aldo did to merab, which that lost is aging VERY well. (stuffing all of merab's takedowns).

    I agree, but for different reasons than you. I think that Volk shouldn´t rematch Ilia Topuria. In fact, I think he shouldn´t fight at featherweight at all for the rest of his career. Give Volk a few months to recover his chin, 6-8 months, and while he does that bulk up to become a good sized lightweight and either fight the winner of St. Dennis VS Poirier or, in the worst case scenario, Justin Gaethje. If he loses, then yeah, retire imediatly; He will never achieve double champ status if that´s the case. But if he wins that, then have him fight for the title for a final shot to become double champ and close a legendary career, retiring on top.
    Having him fight guys like Aljo or Mitchell does NOTHING for his legacy. In that case just retire. And staying on featherweight, where he already dominated everyone but will never beat the champ, it´s pointless as well. He might be the greatest of all time. Let him have a final stride to greatness, and if he fails in that just retire.
    Best case scenario, Volk has two good years on the sport. He should use his career really wisely and just fight 2 or 3 times, all of them being significant to a higher goal.

      Bro please make a video going fully on the offensive to aldo fans and people who still have him #1. Its absolutely disgraceful. Volk beat the guy who finished aldo 3x in his PRIME. As well as beating aldo himself.

      ​@lennythegumpsummers8889 they are the new generation and Volk is losing to the new generation as well. That's why he isn't better. He didn't transcend father time

      ​@julian2238 already seen it and I'm not convinced. I've been watching combat sports for over 20 years. Not every fighter has the same physical prime. Volk was still doing Rugby when Jose Aldo went pro in MMA. Aldo's battle-ridden 31 isn't the same as Volk's fresh 31, neither is it the same as DC and Yoel Romero's 31. You all know this but don't apply this to fighters you don't like.

    Volk needs to take a year off and then either go for the rematch or some other banger fight. Regardless, his brain needs to heal properly and he should focus on providing for his family and their future.

    The thing is, Volk is too stubborn and will go for the rematch no matter what. I just hope it’s like in November or December and not 5 months from now. I swear if he goes down the Tony Ferguson route I’m gonna quit watching this sport forever 😬😬😬
