Volkanovski can technically weigh in at like 180lbs, while bloated to fight a drained Alex at Middleweight. It would be televised murder but it can happen if he’s insane enough to do it. Just has to step on the scale at more than 2lbs above the welterweight limit.
Lets not forget the circumstances, he was offered more money to rematch a guy that he lost before already, he knew it was risky but he didn't put his 145 lbs belt on the line and he earned more money than usual by accepting, as Makhachev told him, Volk did that for more money but now Volk lost his belt to Topuria, they are not going to give him that same money again so no reason for him to accept short notice fights or no reason for UFC to offer him a short notice fight again as well.
Volk is unbelievably humble. He never once talked shit about Max instead he said ''I've tried'' bro you beat him 3 times other fighters would only wish they can beat Max once. Max and Volk have the most respect for each other 2 of my favorite fighters of all time 🤝🤝
Volk only beat max once - 1st fight they both lost, second fight max definitely won. Third fight volk put a clinic on him and was devastating to see in person. Forth fight will be the best
@@JimmyGotRustled I’m not saying volk didn’t win technically the first fight, but it wasn’t a dominating performance - combination of Alex out pointing him and max not having enough output. I do think to become the champ you have to do more than just out pointing the champ by a few punches per round. For example, Strickland didn’t just out point Izzy for a decision win, he shut Izzy down for all 5 rounds. However yes, it’s not technically a double lose, just the fight itself was lack luster on both sides
@@rojhasan548 Guess a lot of people disregarded Belal. Don’t think what we saw was necessarily better than previous fights, his style was just very tough for Leon
7:50 Considering that prior to his 1st defeat to Islam, Volk only had 1 loss on his record which came from competing 2/3 weight classes higher at 170/185lb against a monster twice his size...... I genuinely have ZERO doubt he would actually be willing to jump in as a replacement to fight for the 170lb belt. Championship mindset with the heart of a fucking lion!
@@Existence_Predicatefuck yeah he would, just got KO’d twice in his last 3 fights so the worst has already occurred, plus the fight would be against a pillow fisted grappler, low risk even if he loses
Alex has cemented his place already among the all time greats MMA fighters. He can retire now with the assurance that hed still be one of them years from now. If you beat Max Holloway in stand up fight, not once, not twice, but thrice, you know you are something special.
Volk is my favorite fighter of all time, and one of the goats.. but that’s 2 ko losses in a row, it’s time to end the career and be looked at as a legend. Usman lost 3 in a row, Strickland is an incredibly boring, max wants to be a lightweight, Dustin has a boxing match coming up, and Justin just got knocked out. What kind of “interesting positions” are you alluding to?
@@GrubKiller436Dustin and Justin were never champions lol. They were number one contenders, which is what an interim belt means. The only one who can call themselves the real champ who isn’t holding the actual belt rn is Tommy. Jon refuses to fight him, so he shouldn’t be taken seriously. Plus he still can’t stay out of trouble at 36 years of age, and he should be stripped
True, but maybe he needs to stop being a warrior and taking short notice fights. Although I suppose there’s no danger of Belal knocking him out cold lol
me too, sounds like a 55/45 volk fight to me. belals size being the only thing going for him tbh. hes a worst islam everywhere, islam beats belal easily
Told you this hype job Volk will get exposed. Casuals have recency bias calling Volk the featherweight goat lol 🤣. Aldo is the featherweight goat and it not even close casuals
Volk fighting at short notice is cool and all but it’s also what sort of fucked up his career/legacy a bit. I know he could have beaten Islam with a proper camp. I know he could have beaten Ilia if he gave himself a proper amount of time after the KO. Ah well.

Volk by TKO!!!
Guy who steps up at shorter notice gets additional 2 points before the fight starts.

so of his wins are at middleweight haaha
"I'd do it in a volk" should be an expression
Volks admiration for Max is wholesome af
Real recognize real
He knows the more Max wins, the better his 3 wins against him look And of course he hates Topuria lol I wonder why

This guy is nuts and I love it
Fricken love Volk. Cant wait to see him back!

Volk, Usman, max, strickland, Dustin, Justin are all in such Interesting positions in the UFC rn
Not Dustin and Justin.
But Charles Oliveria.
They're in interesting positions because they're former champs.

Fought both Ilia and Islam within the span of 4 months if there’s anyone that’s a warrior in the ufc it’s him
True, but maybe he needs to stop being a warrior and taking short notice fights. Although I suppose there’s no danger of Belal knocking him out cold lol

nice to see volk up and about
He’s been up since 2 minutes after the 298 main event

Just straight up “Belal don’t believe that” volk funny without even trying
bro volk just gets chiller the longer he geos
Bless you both
All the homies love Volk. 🫡
Impossible to hate volk 🤍😂
He’s arrogant. Belal would sleep him
@@JohnIgavo Yea you right he sleeps everybody outside of the Octagon
Gotta love Volk, straight up OG.
Always great hearing from Volk, such a class act and hilarious at the same time.
Volk is gonna be the backup fighter for Jones v Stipe.
Volk when he talks about matching up against belal has me in tears hahahhahah
Volk is the man. I hope he's doing well
came here after seeing volk's reaction to belal's ''and new''. hahahaha, man surely lost some real big money by that reaction.
Volk we miss you ❤️
MY GOAT!!! We have missed u Volk ❤
I'm not being a deek hahahahaha fkn Alex is funny bro!
what a chad this guy is
1:43 - 1:49 is hilarious lol
Alex vs umar would be a good fight at featherweight
Volk will match up well with Alexandar Volkov
Topuria fan but i respect you volk
It’s great to be an Aussie, that’s one of Australia’s best just there.
Bro Volk is a fighters fighter. But please I urge you to recover brother, your prime ain’t done! I believe 😭♥️
More interesting than belal vs leon
Crazy how Volk was so Hated
Now he’s one of the most Likable Guys
Respect To Volk The Great
Yeah you know he would , Go Volk

honestly i can see volk beating belal. he's much easier a fight than islam
me too, sounds like a 55/45 volk fight to me. belals size being the only thing going for him tbh. hes a worst islam everywhere, islam beats belal easily
Anybody is easier to fight than Islam . But I agree
Hardcore take bro. I could see him beating Belal too, he did almost beat Islam, but that was prime Volk. A lot can change after 2 brutal knockouts.
@@naman7620he didn't almost beat islam lmao that was clear islam win
@@RamboReelz Islam won mate, no doubt. But going into that first fight everyone thought Volk would get finished. He arguably won 2.

King volk 🔥
People act like Topuria has got only power punch.. dude has the most boxer technique in mma and elite wrestling, bjj
Volk needs to step in as president
Cooking with volk
Was that Tyson Fury that opened the door at 01:40? 😂

No.

Yeah, not him
If they have to be middle of the night, why even have them outside US... Volks crazy enough to go Welterweight

If McGregor vs Chandler falls apart again, I think Volk would actually be a great matchup for either.
Volk would dog walk Chandler at LW but I personally don’t want to see him fight at Catchweight or Welterweight
Fuck dude. I’d vote Volk in for president 🤷🏽♂️🙋🏽♂️🤣🙏🏽
no drinks after 2am....yeah ppl are bringing the bags..

Seems like he still wants revenge on Makhachev by moving upto 170 kmowing Makhachev also wants that he might get a chance again if he does well at 170
Question for you guys: do you think Alex Volkanovsky should fight the winner of Max and Ilia for the title?
Volk on short notice would destroy both Leon and Belal easily
Seems like Bilal is treating Leon as IDF. Using words like torture,humiliate the team and the eye poke top things off
?
Leon is annoying. The IDF are demons wearing human skin. Absolute filth.
Genuinely think Volk wins that
Leon would be a real bad matchup for him!

Anything but 145 where he needs to be fighting.
