47:36 The "sorry brother" before the "I want to knock you out."!! Most respectful trash talk I've seen yet🤣🤣
🤣🤣 that was amazing
@@HandsOnKnowledge calm down bro
@@CoolAdam247 bro what
That was epic 😂
@@CoolAdam247 Yo Adam, calm down, bro.
This is not an anger/hate fight. This is two masters coming together to see who has the better style. It's a classic kung-fu movie and I can't wait.
inshallah
Islam is gonna smash him harder than khakis did to conor
Only thing i hate about this is Ryan Clark ruining this show
The most calm and alot of respect trash talk i ever watch
@@robbifauzi8075 47:36 The "sorry brother" before the "I want to knock you out."🤣🤣
Alex’s laser sharp focused confidence and Islam’s laid back comedic confidence is such an interesting juxtaposition this is such an amazing clash in so many ways
islam has equally sharp focused confidence, only a difference in demeanor - you dont get to their level with comedic confidence
@@aravsingh24 I totally agree. Maybe I used the wrong word. His replies and demeanor are funny to me
I like it
These two are a great example that we don’t need trash talk involving fighters families etc. The respect and smiles they have for each other is so positive to see! Love these guys!
Too right 👊
Skills and matchups sell fights to me. I don’t mind an extra spice … if it’s real.
It’ll sell no ppvs tho
@Henry Chinaski idk about no pay per views but probably nothing like a Conor fight
Islam was definitely trash talking in this interview. What did you watch? Lol
Islam vs Volk is quite possibly the greatest P4P showdown in UFC history!
Easily the most skillful champ vs champ matchup
Oh absolutely we’re going to witness history. This is a massive fight
100%
The match I was waiting for 😍
Its the GSP vs Anderson of our generation
The fact that Dana is not even trying to promote this card is super disrespectful.
He's to busy riding his precious sons meat.
The UFC IS promoting the fight. You must have missed the countdown video they put out yesterday.
He’s too busy slapping his wife
He has more important things like promoting his slap fighting rematch with his wife
He promote McGregor team vs Chandler team more than Makhachev vs Volkanovski.
Everybody already know Dana will always favor his son Conor McGregor over everybody else in the UFC.
Islam Makhacev's extraordinary calmness, conviction and confidence mixed with sarcastic humour is out of this world. Alexander Volkanovski is saying sky is not even my limit, I am extra terrestrial. Just can't wait to see this two awesome guys slug it out
He’s the people champ.
you mean hug it out?
@@marshalnicholls7751 🤣🤣🤣 Red devil hug
Both of these dudes are other-worldly for sure
@@marshalnicholls7751 Islam Makhacev Beat Alexander Volkanovski At UFC 284
47:35 - ''My goal-sorry brother-I want to knock you out'' 🤣🤣
Had me in stitches
My goal sorry brother I want to knock you out
😂😂💖💖
He is so funny 😂
I really appreciate Bald Volk for taking all the challenges. He's a savage for that.
Representing the baldies.
👍🔥
huh? it's a big opportunity and it pays his bills. savage? he's just doing his job
@@dookula yes savage, you clearly don’t understand his position and who Islam is. You must be new here
@@dookulalol well no. His job doesn’t require him to step in on 11 days notice. He’s a savage
That Islam/Volk segment was great 👏 😂
👍 I love how you can tell Islam is a nice dude when he said “I’m sorry brother but I want to knock you out”. It was the nicest threat lol
@@handsomefatboy agree
Yes. And you know, one of the greatest things about the UFC, and why it's better than any other sport, is that it helps build friendships with all the other countries. I love learning about the Dagastani culture, and seeing how tough they are. The UFC is really helping to improve relations between all the major countries. How cool is it to have Islam fighting, or possibly the greatest female fighter in history, Weili Zhang, both are in the UFC.
51:17 The way Islam makes DC break character is always hilarious to me 😂😂😂😂😂
“It is literally impossible to dislike chandler”
I guess I’ve achieved the impossible
Me too, and I know a lot of people who reached that level😅
me too. i hate those who support the alphabet people and the liberal degeneracy agenda.
doesn't matter how "nice of a guy" he is.
@@sanjardjuraev love to watch him fight hate to hear him talk
@@brandonchandler8632 because ypu got same last name. Hahaha you can be friends 😆😆
Why you do u guys hate him just curious
Regardless love or hate Volk. There was once a time this man had no respect, now you have to pay homage to this man. Separates the weak from the strong 💪🏻
Volk has most certainly earned my respect, however, Islam is going to sub him in 3.
Islam always had respect but fighters are always gonna try duck an almost certain loss
People still find a way to show him no respect......even now!!! You would like to think him getting the job done on Sunday morning morning would put a stop to that but after watching Volk's career long enough, it still probably wont!!
Got all the respect in the world for Volk but Islams going to destroy him.
I don't think anyone can hate or even dislike Volk. He's the rightful P4P King and one of the sharpest and nicest guys in the sport. This is coming from a big time Islam fan!
English is Islam's 4th language and he's funny af🤣🤣
What other languages does he speak?
@@anonymoususerN1 lol there is no such thing as the Dagestani language.it's like saying the American language.
His native language is Lak because he is an ethnic Lak [one of the indigenous ethnic group of the North Caucasus. not to be confused with the Kurdish Laks which is a completely different people].
Also, I doubt that he knows Arabic even at a conversational level.
English, Russian, Lak and some Arabic Khabib English, Russian, Avar and some Arabic and Turkish. Dagestan has more than 20 different languages I heard
@@disgusting_yummyi believe Lak is his native but Russian has to be his first language. I also come from an ethnic with our own language but because it's not our country's official language, I don't speak it well. There are issues about kids in Dagestan not being able to speak their ethnic language. It happens to non homogeneous country. It seems like Khabib and his family do speak Avar as their first language because they're the majority ethnic group in Dagestan, unlike Islam's.
Shows how intelligent Islam is.. I'm an Aussie and rooting for Volkanovski but I love Islam to so I'm happy no matter who wins
This is what it looks like when you have 2 individuals who are both fearless and supremely confident in their abilities. Doesn't get much better than this.
islam has a very unique character i love to see it. he’s not angry or speaking particularly passionately- he’s extremely confidently and calmly just making fun of volk 😂
43:39 'He wear big shoes always' HAHAHAHA
My guy Islam is low-key hilarious
Sometimes he seems so childish, but he's also a dangerous predator
I appreciate this contrast in him
@@tanguybaudret why be serious all the time 🤷🏾♂️ they do a dangerous sport where he has to be an assassin 24/7 ! Can the guy relax and have fun in an interview jeez
@@YoGunny Exactly
He's been using that tired "he's short, haha" joke forever now. I miss Khabib who was actually charismatic.
He’s trying to bully Alexander
I cannot believe that the UFC is not promoting this more.
I’m kinda confused, why aren’t they?
@@weezybaby226 sexual tension
slap fight
It's because Volk is a massive underdog and is expected to lose. Just check out the betting odds.
@@weezybaby226 they are lol they are promoting it just as much as a Conor fight or an event with 3 title fights. People heard Islam complain (after not doing a single interview himself) and now people are just repeating that randomly with no actual context.
47:36 this made me laugh ahha, he is so apologetic about him wanting to knock volk out. two humble warriors
50:30 "you talk like you knock out all your opponents" 🤣🤣🤣
WOW, confidence is oozing out of Islam its crazy
Blood will be oozing out of Islam soon. Volk gets it
@@keiranfreestone4120 😆🤦♂️
@@keiranfreestone4120 you must be extremely sore from riding volks meat so hard.
@@keiranfreestone4120 I feel bad for you when Islam murders Volk
@@keiranfreestone4120 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In an alternate universe, I could see Islam and Volk kickin it.
Islam wrestles the Moose, Volk cooks it.
After the fight they would 🦌
Imagine in another universe where khabib and islam are not friends and they are fighting against each other for the belt. How about this one ? 😎
@@DarkWarrior_1 Khabib would win cuz Islam and Khabib spar everyday and Javier said that Khabib wins them all but the only person he would drop rounds to is Islam.
👏👏👏
Puts the moose in a arm bar
Islam and DC are funny asf..watching them both kill me😂😂😂😂
Islam is growing on me big time. His energy, sense of humour and calmness is awesome 👌
It all started when he called out mayweather and brock lesner 🤣🤣🤣
When Islam said hes sorry for wanting to ko volk was hilarious
Win or lose I respect Volk for going up to 155 after clearing out 145 and taking out Max
100%👍
Remember, Volk is well known for carrying 214 weight in his previous sport. He will be super sharp at 155.
Both fighters are so insanely confident, and you can feel it when they talk. Can´t wait for this one! 🔥
Islam is levels ahead in confidence. Volk has to convince himself and others. Still don’t know who will win but Islam is definitely more relaxed
@@happytrailsgamingthey’re both acting like their usual selves
Volk is not confident. Islam is
@@Alex-kt1qkNah
@@Alex-kt1qk my point is Volk has to constantly remind everyone and himself that he’s fought bigger than Islam his whole life etc etc etc It’s a mind thing and it’s a small sign of weakness. Almost like the saying fake it till you make it. Just look at the face off and you’ll see the size difference. I’m a fan of both fighters equally but fans can’t seem to be rational in this day in age when talking about a fight. You’re simply a fan boy if you saying anything neutral.
I honestly love the fact that this more of a legacy fight than a grudge match. Both guys are hyper respectable and just straight up savages, they both know it too! Such a great fight as a whole for the sport.
Volk is so respectable even with all the short jokes...
you may not see it but it kills him
that they continue to say things like that,
I know he will finish islam
@@eddievargas704 Naah, it more likely fuels him
It is fun
Right, but I feel like Islam went overboard with those jokes. I understand it can be brought 1-2 times, but bringing it up again and again is annoying.
Islam prob got nothing better to say even in Russian lol. Go volk.
Makhachev is actually a funny dude 😄😄
@@aimlessdrive8723 I beat duran I'm a master of sport now 😂😂😂😂
He really isn't I don't like the guy. I hope he gets put to sleep.
@@glazedgooch4546 facts dudes arrogant and annoying
Short jokes is funny how old r u lmao
@@cristosanchez8554 😂😂 you are gonna have a bad night on saturday. Try not to cry too hard
"My goal, I'm sorry brother but I want to knock you out!" The most respectful threat in UFC history.
Man, when one man is talking the other is listening, that’s what respect it regardless of whatever they say to each other!
Literally cannot wait for these 2 elite of the elite, in their prime, with the highest levels of IQ and confidence 🤜💥🤛
I mean Islam is going to get it done in 3 so there's really not much suspense as to what's going to happen
@@Last_Chance. I favor Islam but don’t be such a meat rider lol. Islam has lost before. Volk has good skills to give Islam problems
It sounds like u are being sarcastic
@@user-zo4iz2nv5u Islam looks like a different beast since his loss. Volks is beyond dangerous but this is a bad matchup for him
Volk beat the best boxer in the ufc😂😂 islam ain’t knocking him out
You can tell Alex hates that little smile islam has on his face all h the time 😂
he loves it, islam hubris shinning through
when volk was talking about training with bigger guys islam dismissed this by say fat is not big - islam is completely out of touch, he is way under-estimating volk and this is PERFECT for volk
islam has bought into his own hype fed by his fan base and the odds, he is going to get humbled
@@elduderino7767 I bet you thought the same when Islam said he would drop olivera and then submit him, i think you are confusing confidence and cockyness
I'll be back after the fight
@El Duderino very true. Yet people still say that Islam is so humble. It's gonna be that much sweeter for Volk when he wins.
@@SSFYHHH 😆🤦♂️
I hope that most people that watch this will do what I did, and skip directly to the interview between Makhachev, Volkanovski and Cormier.
The only right thing to do
Makhachev is a funny lowkey😂😭😭
👍🏿👍🏿Facts.. I realized this in his post fight interview after he beat oliveira.
"Where's this short guy. I don't see him"
He’s Hilarous
Is a funny lol
@@Chaunceyadams230 You're clutching at straws mate. He has less personality than a slice of bread. Khabib was much more funny!!!
So low key that I can't see it..
"You wanna stand up as if you finish all your past opponents"😂
A shame all of the featherweight contenders in his division are been known for having epic chins: ortega, zombie, holloway. Give him a cody gabrant and he'd be folded after one jab.
@@j33clarke well yeah but give anyone Cody G and they’d do that. the great strikers in FW all lack power more so than all have great chins IMO
@@j33clarke don't even mention zombie he was done long ago just like chad Mendes. Apart from those two, no one else in his whole career....
@@JF-yo7vu hahah shut up what are you even talking about, 48% of his wins are from knock out
@@j33clarke we can see the power difference from when volk connected on max and when porier connected everytime dp connected max was wobbled cant say the same for volk
One thing I appreciate about this match up is the mentality. We often don’t get high level guys that are willing to do whatever it takes. I’m beyond excited. I don’t think anyone has the mindset volk has in the ufc.
"Sorry brother, I want to knock you out". Islam is hilarious. Love them both.
I'm sorry Brada I just want to knock you out 🤣😭😭
Islam is hilarious😂😂😂😂😂 what a legend coukd watch them talk all day
I love both of these guys it’s going to be last man standing , and the most important thing here is that that they both have the greatest respect for each other and they get along well
When Islam said sorry to knock him out 😂 cute and respectful
Wow, I love how respectful Volk is while promoting this fight while Islam on the other hand believing in his skillset 💯 . I'm a fan of both guy work ethic. Don't care who win this match, just want to see a great fight!
This is a dream for us fans!
@@dickdeoreo I totally agree with you on that.
I totally agree! I'm a fan of Islam, but now I'm also a fan of Alex. He agreed to this fight without even thinking about the consequences, all for the sake of the fans! I'm looking forward to
Islam and DC are good friends outside of the cage. I admire and respect how Daniel Cormier carried this interview and didn't favor one fighter over the other absolute professionalism and why I'm subbed! DC if you see this let me get a reply, lifelong fan here brother kudos to you champ
DC favors alex a bit. He is scared being called bias
@@umar5138 hence the professionalism I mentioned, he didn't show it I know he favors Islam
okay u get my reply
I sensed favouritism towards Islam. I think dc is underestimating volk
DC doesn't even do tape study for commentary, 0 chance hes checking youtube comments
"Australia dont have wrestling" Bro DCd laugh killed me hahahahhahahahaha
How can a match up be so wholesome and so badass at the same time
“You can be fat but you can’t be big “
The interview with Volk an Islam is pretty good. Dc plays a good mediator. Good questions and a good respectful back and forth
more than convinced volk has the biggest set in the whole ufc, he’s so confident and you can tell he means it, not a bluff, “ actually idk what i’m fully capable of yet, but i wanna find out “ is cold, hope he pulls through
DC and Islam laughing like they know something we don't. 🤣. The mutual respect and competition got me hyped for this fight.
They know Islam is another level... As was Khabib.
Imagine Islam somehow flatlines Volk instead of submitting him that would really put his stock through the roof
Islam has like 1 one punch ko win I would be utterly shocked that he kos a striker of volks caliber without being said I think Islam rag dolls him and subs him or tko
Actually I said that will happen call me crazy but islam will pisses volk on the feet and will knock him out 🦅
1 in 100 chance tbh Volk has a good chin and imo levels above islam in striking technique
No
Somehow? More like most likely finishes Volk
“He think he Muhammad Ali” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
50:30 “you talk like you knockout your all opponents”🤣🤣
Two of the most relaxed warriors in this game.
“Brother, Australia don’t have wrestling…that’s why idc”
😂😂😂💀
51:00
Alex and Islam both such good dudes. Both winners no matter who wins Saturday
I’m a sucker for some DC. pause. I love watching him communicate he’s excellent at it
All respect to volk and Izzy for always following challenges. Volk could have easily taken the easy route but he is taking the toughest possible matchup for him in a bigger division 🙏
Volk Gunnar Win bro!! 🇦🇺
Remember when Max offered to fight Kahibib.
Something Khabib never did
Islam always make dc cried of laughter everytime they're doing an interview 😂😂😂
Islam is chill af 😂shooting live ammunition with a smile "Brotha Australia don't have westling" " Sorry brotha but I want to knock you out" "He wear big shoes always" "You can be fat not big" I giggle during the whole thing !! Funny man. Volk is great but Islam gonna show him why it's Makhachev Time !!! New P4P King on the 11th, let's gooooo !!!
You giggled ? Stfu 😂😂😭😭
Man I was getting goosebumps when volk and Islam were going face to face.... Big fight!!
Big Islam fan but respect to Alex for taking this challenge. Absolute savage and class act. And Alex , you are special fighter mate
DC is a blessing to MMA. Rooted for him in college and rooted for him in the Olympics. Then Strikeforce and the UFC. Appreciated even moreso with the commentary and now DC and RC with the guy who I have tied up in a 3 way tie for the Greatest Safety to ever play with my NFL team as his partner for the show.

@@ali-mk4of I agree with everything he said, still meat riding tho.
Bro Ryan Clark is not your best safety
Ryan Clark is not on a level where he is interesting to listen to. The guy knows less about the sport than I do
I love that RC has an interest in MMA. He was a hard nose football player and i appreciate that he has brought as much attention to MMA as possible, but, boy, it can be real tough listening to his takes sometimes.
Money will do that sometimes

I’m so pumped for this fight man they’re both so skillful the best in the world fighting each other. It doesn’t get better than this.
I love both of these incredible gentlemen, extremely tough to pick sides so I'm not gonna pick I'm gonna wish both of these fantastic fighters best of luck whoever wins I'll feel bad for the other that's for sure
for me it's not tough to predict who will win the match, Volk almost have no chance to win, believe me, Islam is excellent in all parts of fighting style, stand and ground. This is MMA, not only kick and punch
Yea after thinking charles had some chance then seeing him get smashed.
I'm putting 500 on islam

LOVE AND RESPECT FOR BOTH OF THEM. LOTS OF RESPECT FOR THE GREAT DC AS WELL.
Volk is a great ambassador for combat sport.
By the way, this is the trash talking we need. This two guys stare at each other and cant do anything but smile. They respect each other, they would be friend if they worked together. Amazing atmosphere for one of the greatest fights in history
Hahahaha! Love the Izzy comparison!!!!! LOVED THAT!!!
Buildups to massive fights always make us feel a certain way.
Angry, vengeful, excited, crazy etc.
This is the first time that the buildup’s made me feel HAPPY.

Pure class, can't wait for this fight fellas.
This conversation between Islam and Alex is so good. They're just confident and no bad trashtalk just confident talk. Just chilling, both waiting for the fight to happen. And DC did a great job being the mediator by asking the right questions.
Islam is effortlessly funny
I’m shocked ufc didn’t promote this everywhere all January leading up to the fight smh either way excited to watch Islam become pound for pound number 1 fighter in the world inshalla
I literally can't wait for this fight!! Let's go 👊🙌
Respect for both fighters. Great interview
Both are great examples to youngsters. Well done 👏

DC you are amazing!!! Thank you 🙏
What a weekend it's going to be
UFC 284 & Superbowl 57 👊🏈
this is a special fight, specifically for Volk. He has a chance to be so great with this fight
the confidence in their ability from this 2 champs are oozing. i think Makhachev will shoot 50 times if he needs to just to bring this fight to the ground and with Volkanovski i think you need break an arm or put him to sleep because he won't quit
Nope it’s gonna be the first or 2nd shoot
