![[HD] Colby Covington and Kamaru Usman get into heated exchange on post fight broadcast](/img/n.gif)
The only robbery the first fight was Islam not getting his rightful p4p spot which was agreed upon that he would get if he won. Now he's beaten Volk twice.
He had only one thing to gain from that fight and they didn't give it to him. he is so pissed that he said to Megan Olivi that they can keep Volk at 2 and me at 3 he doesn't care
I still don't understand how in the P4P rankings Jones is #1, Jones has 1 fight in 3-4 years and it was Cyril Gane 😂, Islam beats Volk twice, & Charles who were both top 3 in P4P and hes not P4P #1? The rankings are based on fighters current/recent performances, theres no one who comes to beating the level of fighters Islam has beat recently.
@@daking8378right like Jon is #1 rightfully so but not in a list which requires quality and activity
@@AliAbbas-mh7khyeah he no longer cares about the PFP because he realised there’s an agenda
I think there is no denying him that now
He genuinely deserves that P4P#1 spot. A truly complete MMA fighter who fights with highly technical and calculated fight IQ and skills.
Volk is great, but he's a 145 pounder plus Islam has beaten 2 ranked Fighters in he's carrer. He's not jones lol
@@SamuelMills-ez4jo Calling Volk just a "145 pounder" is extremely disrespectful to him. You know damn well that man would beat anyone other than Islam in that division. Also, p4p ranking should be based on quality and activity, Jones beat Ciryl Gane who had already been defeated by Ngannou and became number 1 p4p, Jones would absolutely deserve it if that wasn't his only fight in more than 3 years
@@SamuelMills-ez4johe literally stood on a scale few days ago weighing 154.5 and said multiple times he was at 180 when he got the call. Show some respect buddy
I just wanna hear the excuses
How many title defences does he have? Jones has more. Even Volk has more. P4P you get with multiple title defences, not with 2 defences against a guy who went up to your category and fought you on 10 days notice.
He submitted the guy who has most submissions and now he KOd the guy whos best boxer in UFC
Volkanovski is not the best boxer in the ufc
@davidpark2509 he is. You don't beat Max Holloway thrice in boxing heavy MMA match, and you don't get that best boxer title.
@@davidpark2509 ofcourse he is not, because now its Islam is the next boxer in the ufc
@@naturalbornkiller361both max and volk feared yair his striking. I think with his creativity and mixing up hands, legs and knees/ellbows, yair is the best striker. Best boxer is maybe strickland
@@davidpark2509these dudes be tripping 😆
Jon Anik is great you can tell he really loves at what he does when he gives his analysis
I can understand the fans being snakecharmed by the David v Goliath optics and a lucky 5th round, but I have no idea where Volk got his confidence from after losing 4 rounds in the previous fight
I thought Islam won 3-2 but he clearly won. Give Volk credit, not easy to go up a weight class. I thought the time between weigh in and the fight is what kept it close last time, but Volk didn’t account for that or think how much it affected the fight
Fans are stupid man and Volk got carried away by the stupidity. People actually thought he won the first match.
A good lesson for him..
Beautifully stated. They were charmed by his ability to do better than expected, and they let it trick them into believing he was more dominant.
Islam said Volk is a fighter unlike Charles, he never gives up.
Volk ruined his career by taking this fight on 12 day notice. I wont be shocked if he loses again the next fight
Islam Makachev put on a masterclass performance 👏👏👏👏👏
No! Justin should be next, man
I am done with the rematches, give the man fresh match-ups as the Charles fight was not near close.
charles is overrated
@@SERIOUSLEE774you don’t know mma
@@SERIOUSLEE774I agree 100%.His fights are exciting to watch but as a fighter hes okay .As islam said "if u make this guy tired he always gives up"
1000% agreed!!!!.....i vote for this option!!!!!
@@hasanshakil1178"Is ok", LOL. That is profoundly dumb thing to say about the guy, who finished all of LW top 5, has records for the most submissions and finishes in UFC history .
Islam Makhachev told everyone again n again he will finish Volk and he did exactly what he said
Islam said he was going to knock him out.
Tell me one time Islam has said he would finish a fight in a specific way and didn't happened exactly as he said it would.
The only exception was the first Volk match but to go from that to "no one was expecting a knockout" is pretty oblivious.
So all his decision wins were also intended or the Martins ko? 🤡🤡🤡🤡
You are even answering your own question lmao
Well he failed then. I didn't see any knockout.
I see the ref stop the fight.
@@jeppe7275Can you show us a fight where he went to decision whilst publicly stating that he was looking for a finish prior? In contrast I can tell you that Islam promised a sub in 3 Vs Oliveira and a Knockout against Volk and Delivered.
@@hmmm3210 That wasn't even a knockout, so you have basically answered your own question.
Look up the difference between a TKO and a KO 🤣🤣🤣
@@richjames7948 ok Ausie
Islam Makhachev: "I don't care... If UFC wants to give me pound for pound, then good, if not; everybody knows who is world champion!" 💪
Guaranteed that pfp#1 now. Another milestone achieved.
Calm down.
@@thialhoinj1971 Those are just facts.
tell me why thats facts? hes beat 2 good fighters ever, one of them being volk whos literally a small 145er and islam might aswell be a welterweight he cuts so much to get to 155....@@bravetab
@@user-ji7vn1ps8jwell P4P is about recent achievements and activity. What has Jones done in the last 3 years? Fought Cyril gane and that’s it.
What has Islam done. He’s beaten the top 3 P4P fighters. 3 times in total. 2xVolk 1xCharles.
P4P is about recent activity not legacy.
Jones is the GOAT no doubt. But that’s not what the P4P is measuring. You can’t be as inactive as Jones has been and then get to no.1. Aside from Jones, no one else even has a claim ahead of Islam.
He beat pfp 1 2 and 3 what more do you want.
Colby Vs lslam is gonna be phenomenal
Islam is too scared to move weights.
@@SamuelMills-ez4jo how is he too scared to move up weight when he's still a fairly knew Champ & he already said he wanted to go for double champ lol 🤡
@@SamuelMills-ez4joThey will always be some fools like this guy at every post PPV show comment section.
@@caspeansea9619 I actually rate Islam, top 10 all time for me. Volk, dc,jones gsp, isreal, all the greats have moved weights. Let's see Islam against colby, usman, hamzat , Edward's. That's the real challenge
@@SamuelMills-ez4josilakan menangis
Charles lost badly against him, and I’m tired for Islam having to discuss that rematch over and over again. Give him Gaethje or even someone like Leon/Colby at this point
He is defeating P4P fighter in a row. Still not P4P fighter.
Fantastic commentary this weekend too
Charles needs one more fight . Needs to be Justin or Colby
I'd say Justin since he's wants a title shot again but he has gotten it pretty often. Him defeating Charles would give him a shot and it would be less hard for Oliveira which he deserves since he defeated Beneil
Charles need one more excuse..not fight u damn @ssh●le
Did you not see what Charles did to Benel
pretty sure dana said his probably getting the title shot next so he doesn’t need another fight
Colby is getting KOed by Edwards so that aint happening
Alhamdulillah 25-1 ☝️
He is the p4p#1 no question
Jon Jones never been KO'ed
@@MindgamessJones taking peds against Cormier is the same as Islam taking peds against Cejudo, imagine injecting for a guy half a foot shorter than you
@@Mindgamessbut has been tested positive for ped all his life
Jon Jones has 13 title defenses let's see him reach at least 10
@@ziotioJones just KOd Usada
What a smile dc 😂😂
Spot on from John Anik..
Jon Jones ducked short notice chael sonen but still people think he's p4p#1🤡. After being inactive for yrs He defeated ciryl gane (a plain striker) who wasn't even on the p4p list😂.
Whereas Makhachev defeated p4p#1 volk , p4p#2 volk & p4p#3 Oliveira. This has never ever been done before in the history of mma🤯 & jones was talking about record breaking 😏.
The thing Which is mind-blowing is Makhachev defeated p4p#1 and p4p#3 in a Span of just 4 mnths🥶
Dc’s smile in the thumb nail is a I told y’all so smile if I ever saw one
did we forget about Dricus du Plessis? I still wanna see him first for the MW title!
Outstanding!!!!!
Look at Cormier’s face in the thumbnail. He’s absolutely chuffed his homie won lol.
Thats def a real homie look 😂
how does charles pull out and deserve another title shot? He should get 1 win atelast
There's no one else worthy a title shot in that weight class, beneil was the only one and charles cooked him. Imo i wanna see colby vs islam
Charles vs arman winner gets title shot
@@edmondtarverdyan1824Arman fighting beneil
@@CERTI-SY786justin is more deserving of the titleshot.
Dricus deserves the title shot more than Khamzat after that uninspiring performance
DC is all in for whoever is ahead of Jones in that p4p rankings😆
It wasn't a fair fight because everybody knows that the lure was the cash and this needed a full camp for it to be a definite I do believe that a third match is inevitable with full camp no more BS
now you do said that😂😂😂, is that an excuse..?😂
Oliviera again.?? This version of Makachev will dog walk Oliviera let’s be honest here. He’s not gonna win against Makachev. Give us LW champ vs BMF fight.
Nah man I see Islam vs gathje being a similar fight with khabib Islam by submission
I liked the idea of a rematch against Volk because the first fight was so close, in this rematch was all know now who is the king, but for Charles Olivera to fight again with Islam is kind of bad, because the first match was NOT even close, give this new p4p king new meat, give him Gustin , or Dustin or Colby or any one new, enough with the rematches.
It's 2023 why do you keep uploading in 720p
DC should have known Dana well enough to know he will not give the shot after what Oliveira did.
Dana already said in the press conference that Oliveira deserves the rematch next.
Thank you JA .. I also could see Islam clearly won the first fight, which made this finish even sweeter.
Not Olivera again...We want Coby or Justin
What is colby going to do to beat islam? Islam has better striking and with no weight cut he will be even stronger. olives should fight somone while Justin gets the title shot
Islam deserves this❤ Alhamdulliallah
Charles Oliviera make a good decision Run baby Runnnnnnnn lol
Umer and usman is in the line bros wait 😂
Cant believe these 2 guys have the same father
1080p or 4k in 2023?
Islam versus Colby lets go.
Congratulations world champ!
One of the judge didn’t know which one was chimaev
No Charles Oliveira doesn’t make sense at all its like fighting Volkanovski again, same result for Islam. When are these knuckleheads gonna get it that Oliveira cannot beat Makachev its a bad matchup for Oliveira
As long as Jones is in the mix no one will ever be number 1
of course DC going to say hes p4p. his buddy Jones is #1. even before this fight happened compared to Jones who’s NEVER lost. and yea yea “he lost to reyes and santos” save it. talking legit losses.
Jon Jones: "Hold My Title Defenses"
Jon Jones: “Hold my PEDs”.
Jon Jones owns this company LMAO
Till his next sub 600k ppv 😂😂
He is using it to hide his drug dealer business
Jones fought a two streak Gane not a champ lol
@@josegarza7719but cmon Gane is an incredibly well rounded fighter who without a doubt knows how to grapple
Islam needs to fight a top lightweight
I would love to see Islam vs Jon Jones
DC looks like he gona go in aniks booty on that thumbnail😂
Volk know islam was stronger than the first fight after a few second 😂
Stupid argument. Islams take down was defended.i rooted for islam both fights.
They tell them their plan still the opponents cant do nothing about it thats cold.
Jones p4p #1 until anyone who can defend the title 13 times. Good luck
People underestimating strickland lol they forgot he juste dominated izy for the whole 5 rounds and he has an unlimited gas tank which khamzat dosent have he gas out real quick
Khamzat submits him in the first round. Sean‘s grappling is not good enough
After witnessing khamzat ragdoll usman especially that first round I have no doubt in my mind he’s gonna get Strickland down and maul him but yeah if he can’t get a finish early it will be interesting since sean doesn’t get tired
@@kingcosmuder8078 exactly ,seans should work on his TD defense
Early stoppage
Jones is number one pound for pound
Islam The Real P4P Number One☝🏆😲
Real Champions Islam Makhachev P for P in the world
+1700 for KO? Damn, who get that money?
Convington vs Islam welterweight title and gaethe vs Oliveira for interim lightweight title!!!!!
Tbh, i think islam will have a better reign than khabib, his 1 loss will have people delusional tho
How are you P4P if you beat a smaller guy coming up on short notice?
Umm, because he beat both #1 and 2 P4P best fighters Oliveira and Volk (at the time) back to back before jj returned. He already beat Volk before when Volk had a full camp in his own backyard. So be quiet casual.
I am a big islam fan but i dont think he can just jump to 170 he needs to defend his 155 belt 2 more times to really cement his legacy in 155 ....even though he should fight in 170 because its his real weight
Jones still #1
We know they gonna keep jones at #1 though
3 rounds..p4p?..No sirs!
No excuses now from any fans or media. Islam finished in first round so the 10 days notice that would mostly effect cardio is out the window. He is p4p. Now hoping for fight vs justin gaethje that should be a banger!! Idc to see Charles Olivera as much as Justin Gaethje vs Islam
Yo Anik
Lay off the adderal bro
Islam can’t fight Colby next, that would be three fights in a row against fighters outside his weight class since he won the belt, without defending against anyone in his division
Fact he beat p4p no 3 . Charles and no 1 volk and no 2 volk
Islam stole the Pound Four Pound rating by force..
Islam told haters and doubters to 🤫🤫🤫🤫..I agree
I thought Chimaev won a unanimous decision
If Islam goes up to fight Colby, they should put Belal on suicide watch.
Olivera must be too lucky 😂
The short camp statement needs to stop
Kevin wrestled better then usman
Islam PFP No. 1 👑 no doubt
Any american in the place of Islam would have been p4p by now
Then Jon wins and they’ll just switch it like always
Its Monday afternoon est and ufc still has Volk as the #2 p4p fighter smhthey better move Islam as the #2 p4p
Who wins in a fight, Islam, or Jon Jones? Who has more records? Who is undefeated? Who has moved up and beat top contenders? Jon Jones is No.1 P4P in the world, and he has been for a decade.
how p4p works? GOAT list sure JJ, if based on current active fighter Islam.. UFC need to define the criteria for p4p..
Let Islam go up a division instead of having him fighting a featherweight, he's bigger than Usman for crying out loud. Then we'll talk about P4P.
Did volk wake up yet ?
Usman looks like a tank at 185 lbs...
Makhachev is a lightweight still. If guys like Jalin Turner, Dan Hooker, Beneil Dariush, Joel Alvarez and so on fight in the lightweight division, then there's no reason for Makhachev to move up. He's never missed weight, as far as i know...
headshot ! Islam p4p 1
And still
At this point no one deserves to fight Islam out of all the light weights, they all need to win some more fights and catch up to him.
Honestly we need new contenders, cuz Bronx beat dustin, justin, chandler and if islam beats him again then no point in fighting these guys.
Either give Islam chance in welterweight or bring him a new contender like gamrot or someone
Pound for pound without moving up in weight class. Yeah right
After Jones finished Gane: He is the P4P #1
After Volk finished Yair: He is the #1 P4P
After Islam finished Volk: He is the #1 P4P
Next week it will be Lewis beung #1 P4P for finishing Almeida
Jones always number 1. A decade of title defense not 2 lol.
It seems people don't understand the point of pound for pound.
Islam is p 4 p fighter world 🎉
Beating 2 ranked guys can't get you anywhere near jones.
He have to take some drugs and win then he s cow sorry goat
Why does Charles deserve a rematch? Islam beat him so convincingly the first time that in my opinion Oliviera and Gaethje should fight and the winner fight Islam
Number 1 p4p no doubt now.
Makachev says p4p is BS
Islam showed volk his rightful place that is in featherweight division.... he head kicked smoked volk 😂 and congrats to islam on winning ....... silenced all the doubters ..... the best fighter in the world right now and still lightweight champion 🏆
Wooohhhh❤❤
John jones in number 1! He’s been dominating since these dudes was in high school
Facts. He's resume makes Islam's look bad. Islam has beaten 2 ranked fighters only.
P4P is based on who's the best currently. Jon Jones didn't fight anyone who's in top 15 P4P in over half a decade. Islam beat P4P#1,#2 and #3 back to back to back.
doping
@@sagivijayaramaraju1153 Facts! Jon didn't even win the title from a legit HW Champ.
Yup he is the greatesr fighter the UFC has ever seen. Jon Jones is a rookie compared to Islam.
