I’ve purchased the just stand up instructional… within seconds I swelled up to a -220 favourite against the Russian immigrant at my high school
Greg Johnson certified anti sambo strategy: Just stand up
Are you fighting him in the cafeteria or his backyard? The judging will be different.
Good luck finding a counter to immigrant mentality
lmao
@@_clintt LOL underrated comment
no joke Craig is the funniest athlete in sports
Man factually dismantled the aura around dagestani wrestling, cracked a few jokes, AND managed to promote his own course. Legend
Islam still dominated in the wrestling, 4 takedowns to 0, and 7 minutes of control time. You must have a very weird definition of '''dismantling'' lmao
@@sheriefelsayad5578 control is a weird term to describe getting punched in the face multiple times.
@@ilhamn5869 yeah those pillow punches volk threw in round 4 while islam had his back for 3 minutes really pieced Islam up huh? 😂 if you think those baby punches outweigh the back triangle and threating the choke you have no credibility. Even Volk admitted that he lost that round in his interview with Helwani. But I guess you know better than Volk.
@@ilhamn5869 I mean, on that basis, a win is a weird way to define a defeat 🤔
@@ilhamn5869 i'm not from russia but i recognize that islam is a hundred times better on wrestling then volkanovski
“Rugby is a better base than sambo” hahahaha, such a fkn troll mate, love it. Glad you guys enjoyed Perth.
He almost broke on that one :)
Funny AF
Volk proved that after fight
Craig's trolling hard here but also spewing facts
His analytical skills are actually quite impressive
@@ninobach7456 you don’t became elite in any sport without a little brains
Seems to be his style always, facts and trolling
Craig's post-fight/post-match analyses are always so good. His humor and detailed technical breakdowns are fantastic.
The B team curse. Volk was destined to be 2nd
"they thought I was talkin' shit - I was talkin' a little bit of shit..." Everything this guy says is tshirt worthy
How old are you, 13?
If rugby was easy it’d be called sambo 😊
Highlight this pls 😂😂
Haha
That would be if volk won. Even dehydrated sambo guy beats rugby player
Was looking for this comment lol.
If sambo was easy it would be called rugby
It's so hard to tell if Craig is talking shit, because I assume he is, but he's so friendly about it....he talks shit while smiling..I'm gonna try that with my mom
Might want to watch his instructional first lol for you're safety 🤣
Volk wasn't stuck in that body triangle! He was just waiting for the ref to call "held" so he could get up, and play the ball.
Why wait if he can get up? So i guess he was stuck after all
@@JSoftic it’s a rugby reference
never seen anyone look so dominant with their back taken, volk throwing punches, amazingly doing more damage than islam, taunting... classic moment
He was burning his legs out.
Volkanovski was frustrated. He was crying like a baby. He was not confident. He knew he was losing the fight. He was yelling at Islam to let him go.🤣
Islam was holding him like a baby. Volkanovski couldn’t move.🤣
All these languages out there and Craig chose to speak facts
Also it needs to be said, the only IV’s used in Volks camps were for my hangovers
Why was Volkanovski begging Islam to let him go?
@@thetraffic849 he asked nicely. Us Australians are a polite people
@@craigjones8662
Why was he yelling and screaming?
He knew he lost the first two rounds. He needed to win the last three rounds. Even his corner told him that.
He knew he lost fight in that position. He got frustrated and tried with screaming and yelling to motivate Islam to let him go.
Why didn’t they teach him how to get up?
lol Craig you and all Team of Volkswagen are Salty clowns'🤡🤡🤡...you lost the fight ..its so funny you are all so stupid ..just get over it haters...Islam Won and your short guy LOST ...casual looosers cry some where else ..
Honestly this result was better than volk getting demolished….you cunts will cry about these IVs for the rest of your lives. Don’t worry tho you guys solved the dagestani puzzle just get controlled for 7 mins then lose the striking exchanges too.
This is actually a great take. Thinking back, Khabib and Islam's dominance against a lot of the current MMA lot has been against dudes training OLD BJJ material. Craig and Danaher are the two biggest coaches you could have in your grappling corner, and anyone that's watched their instructionals would tell you why. They teach shit well and they do it fast.
Yep. I’m convinced after the fight prime gsp beats prime khabib
@@Shiggystardust these fanboys you got convinced based on fooking what? based on your sweet dreams? Khabib is better than Islam on the ground. And Khabib is a lot tougher IMO. GSP got finished by Matt Hughes and Matt fooking Sera. Also, many believed he lost against Johny Hendricks. Stylistically, Khabib is a bad bad matchup for GSP.
@@johnconor5485 why gsp a bad matchup against khabib? Gsp is the greatest shoot grappler and khabib is the greatest fence/chain grappler. They're both great grapplers but have different setups to take it to the ground. How is gsp at a great disadvantage? There has never been a fight like that in the ufc, as far as i recall
@@johnconor5485 It's strange you bring up Johnny Hendricks against GSP who was on steroids during that fight. Should we talk about Khabib and Tibau fight? or do we pretend this fight doesn't exist?
@@ps9501 whatch the fight tibau lost easily
Volk lost and you're still talking shit lol.
I agree rematch needed, but with Ramadan coming Islam will be out for 3-4 months. Yayir is waiting for volk
“Rugby is a better base for grappling than sambo” 😂 Well said sir
You still lost! Second place as a coach and second place as everything ADCC related
It was a close fight, but if you re-watch it it's clear that Makhachev won. Looking forward to the rematch.
Facts, people got a big ego just because they dont understand how it works😂
Rewatched it 4 times, Volk won
You can say he definitely won the contest, but he also clearly lost the "fight" in the public sense by ending the fight looking clearly broken, while Volk was fresh as a daisy. The man's aura of invicibilty is gone, whereas Volkanovski's stock is only rising
@@Suplex479 well you can re-watch it a million times, it won't change the fact that Makhachev won lol
@@omaewamoushindeiru6581 it was a robbery, Volk won clearly
Tbf Islam won a lot of striking exchanges against Volk. Both impressive performances. Not super surprised by Volk knowing that Craig was coaching him
Craig Jonesmagomedov in the description 😂
If Sambo was real it’d be called jiu jitsu
Sambo is superior to Jiu Jitsu in a fight.
Jones will be submitted in two minutes by a sambo guy. He will punch his face in when he starts to grapple.
R1: Volk started strong, but Islam struck him down to one knee, got a takedown and controlled him.
(CLEAR ISLAM).
R2: Islam slips on edge of canvas, secures takedown. Volk resists. Great striking by both; Islam connects stronger but Volk marginally better due to higher output.
(MARGINALLY VOLK).
R3: great striking exchange, Islam does more damage overall. Islam gets Volk to ground. Volks leg trips up Islam.
(MARGINALLY ISLAM).
R4: Islam connects stronger and cleaner. Secures takedown. Controls rest of round.
(CLEAR ISLAM).
R5: great jab and knees by Islam. Volk also connects, but not as strong. Takedown by Islam. Volk resists. Islam better for first 3.5 minutes. Volk connects well as Islam shoots, Islam on his back. Volk wins final 1.5 minutes.
(VOLK).
FINAL SCORE: ISLAM 3.75 vs 1.25 VOLK
Pure B Team coaching at ts finest! Thank you Craig!
if it wasn’t for you Islam would’ve kept him down and won the fight, however having you in his corner he was able to get up on his feet and still lose! B-Team Forever Carnal !
At least Craig got some more media exposure for his failure. Cheeky they way he took credit for volks rugby background. Great orator though. I reckon he gets on his knee regularly with his stand up.
I think Volk clearly lost, although I was rooting for him. Great fight.
I thought it was close. Islam probably won, but Alex still proved he is better P4P.
You don't make sense, they both weighed in at the same weight.
@@MrRonnie491 only technically. People who make the rankings know they aren't the same size.
Islam tackled volk to the ground at every opportunity, he tried to WWE pin volk to the canvas for 25 mins. Look into the eyes of Islam at the end of the contest. The judges saw Islam's ability to lay on Volk as win. But the system outdated. It should be, the man who thrives emerges victorious. Not the one who barely survives.
@@green_hound What? Majority of the fight was standing up... It's so easy to see when dudes haven't watched the fight.
Forget the 4 min takedowns and around 7 mins of control time on top of all this. Forget the elbows and knees that had Volk leaking with a cut that exposed his bone.
ISLAM VS VOLK - SIG STRIKES
R1 - Makh 9 / Volk 8
R2 - Makh 19 / 11
R3 - Makh 10 / Volk11
Head/Body/Leg strikes
Makh 28 22 3
Volk 27 6 7
Tell me again how the whole 25 mins was spent diving?
oh wow a breakdown from a guy who never even fought *in MMA* lol. Quite frankly the only reason BJJ looked so "good" in this fight (as in so good at surviving lol) is because it's Volk--but Craig is not Volk and every BJJ specialist in MMA is not Volk. When Craig actually ends up training fighters to submit Dagestani guys *in MMA* consistently, then he can start talking more. We already see what happened very early on in the MMA careers of Kron and Garry, all Craig does is talk shit about how Dagestani wrestling isn't that good by looking at in an MMA context, which he has never fought in and we have no reason to assume he'd even be good at it until he proves it.
*Islam won, Alexander lost. Get over it! Judges are always against fighters from Russia and Dagestan, and still they weren't able to give it to Volkanovski. 1 last minute of the fight does not equal 25 minutes of the fight, casuals...*
I’ve never seen a man get sucked off so much for losing except for Conor. Story of Islam’s career, he has a competitive fight against the PFP number 1 and takes his 12 fight win streak and still can’t get his respect from the mma casuals. He might not be able to win over the casuals but at least he can win fights.
Keep dickriding the bigger guy who almost got knocked out and looked the worse of the two 😂
I got the just stand up, and it's pretty good. I've been working on turtling every time I want to get out, and needless to say, I've been choked a lot more.
Thank you, Craig!
You Priit Mikhelson's turtle content. It's free on YT on the BJJ Globetrotter's channel. You'll never get choked again.
@@danielsiriphongs Let's put it to the test against Tainan Dalpra.
Volkanovski survived the grappling exchanges, that's about it.
At what point did mahkachev threaten volk with any submission? Saying he survived is a big stretch
You missed the last round then?
It's old news. Volky got dominated 4 rounds to 1 da last round da only one he won. ISLAM definitely got Robbed in Australia. Da bottom line volky lost everything he worked for. Luckily his feather weight belt wasn't on Da Line volky would have lost it. Volky and company is pressing hard for a rematch. You know what FUCKIN he'll no , volky has nothing to match up for a rematch. Either permanently move up or your nobody special moving up or back down after da fight.you had your chance you lost da fight. Defend Da feather weight belt YAIR IS coming for da feather weight belt. Seriously your done at Lightweight. Get over it .SAY NO MORE. ⁴
Get over it! It's been a week 🤣🤣🤣
I think Islam is not being given enough credit. He took this fight to Australia 4 months after getting the belt and against someone who has nothing to lose and everything to gain and also against someone whose featherweight king. As for sambo vs jiu jitsu comparison what saved Volk was his strength due to the rugby background. Islam's team might have underestimated that.
@Jake losing in an another weight class is not that big of a loss he still has his belt.
After 4 Months? Thats more than enough time man.
Jiu jitsu is just a rule set. There is no codified techniques that anyone formulated. If you disagree, you're selling a marketing plan.
Islam landed almost all takedown attempts. Had most control time, total 7 mins vs 2 from volk. Volk scored nothing for takedown attempts and had little ground control.
Makachev didn't pay for the DVD. He downloaded Russian link.
Why would Islam rematch! He got accused of cheating by Volk and his salty team without a shred of evidence, and did not get his p4p spot!
What do you mean?
Volk didn't challenge Islam on ground but Islam did challenge Volk on feet.
Nah. Volk lost 2-3. Get over it. Make adjustments next time. Excited for the rematch.
If you want to entice Islam you need to speak with your wallet. Offer up some discount on that DVD brother
No, dude - he didn’t win. learn to think with your head not your heart. Objectivity goes a long way.
He lost though
Hopefully Alex learned how to get out of a body triangle from this fight! Crazy you just didn't teach him that and he lost the fight because of it. Damn. You really let him down Craig
holy fuck islam fans cant take a L
@@UnbiasedMMA I hope you realize the irony of saying Islam fans can't take an L when Alex is the one who lost and you're coping so hard you think Islam fans are the ones losing. That's fucking hilarious and I appreciate you for leaving such a dumbass comment
@@jrams4145 is islams cock tasieter after he ebat charles or after he got humbled?
@@UnbiasedMMA you mean after he beat volk? Way tastier with Volk's blood on it since your short guy got raped in front of his own audience
You still need to mount offense vs Islams mount time; which Volk did in the last few minutes. But Islam did take Volks wrestling too lightly and he will be better suited for next time. So I don’t think hand fighting and sitting in his body lock will win you rounds. And surprisingly Islam did well striking in most rounds except the last. I think it will be risky to mount Islam in the early rounds but hey we’ll see. I was wrong about Volks wrestling ability.
I keep coming back to watch the comments lose their shit lmao.
I thought it was on the challenger to definitively beat the champ to take the belt...did Volk do enough. If you ask an Aussie yes... everyone else say’s nope
That's not how judging works. Look at cejudo vs Johnson 2 for an example
Round 4 is not Islam's in MMA. There is such a thing as punches. You hold on to the back and get pounded in the face, you are not winning.
Pounded. More like tickled.
I think everyone including Craig is forgetting that Islam is fairly new to the scene. This was the first time he was defending his belt. As oppose to Alex who has been around for a while and has defended his belt many times against tough opponents. So experience wise Alex is way ahead of Islam. But Islam showed lot of character to go against a machine in Alex. A rematch is definitely on the cards but after they take care of business in their own weight classes.
Islam has been longer and has more fights in the UFC than Volk, he's well experienced. The only thing stopping him from pursuing the belt before was probably Khabib. Other than that Volk has more title fights but that's it.
You win this round craig, with your mexican ground karate, but I'll get you one day, likely when you're not looking, with a car or truck
I'm not going near him, watching him break legs of world class grapplers. We hit and we run. That's my bij fanatics class
Now every fighters are hungry to fight Islam
Half my size 🤦🤣now Volk is half Islam size ffs
The Dagestanis destroyed your boy’s win streak 😂🤣
49-46 Islam, come casuals give me arguments.
islam won 3 zu 2 and volk is my fav fighter ever.
Yes he did lose ,what planet are you on?? Watch it with no volume and you will see Islam landed way more shots standing an had more ground control time!! The fight was 4 to 1 for Islam. Anyways Islam put a stamp on it in the second fight ,3 mins to send Volk for a quick nap!!
Had to have it is way to win volk had 10 days to prepare and the fight is in Abu Dhabi where he can cheat typical when it was even volk had Islam crying for the bell I don’t know what fight you was watching to call the rounds 4-1 to Islam get off the man’s nuts
@@thewizardtv1300 What are you talking about being in Abu Dhabi and cheating???How please tell me how he ''cheated'' ,that is the dumbest thing anyone can say! I am stating facts and your making up lies and it's me nut riding ,okay bud get off Volks sack for real! Volk doing better then expected in the first fight and crowd reaction does not mean he won. Talk about cheating but forgot how the commission in Australia cut the rehydration time by 12 hours in the first fight giving Volk every advantage, that kind o cheating??
So many low key jokes. Hilarious vid.
Since Volkanovski lost to Makhachev, since then Craig Jones really hates Makhachev & Team Khabib
Islam smokes him in the rematch, he will have learnt alot
Craig, about round 4. Does striking damage from bottom trump "effective grappling" if the person in dominant position isnt inflicting damage or submission? Volk was in the less dominant position but was inflicting damage, so is that not more "effective" in a sense since Mackachev was the one actively being hit in the head?
Is it really a dominant position if you are on bottom carrying Volk's weight, getting hit in the head, and never remotely getting close to threatening a sub. At a certain point the bottom player is only holding onto the position in a defensive manner to prevent a standup, even if it normally a "dominant" position.
Damage is the number one criteria so yes
Yes. "Top and bottom
position fighters are assessed more on the impactful/effective result of their actions, more so
than their position"
As much as we want to argue yes, the fact is holding the back is like maintaining a top mount. You'd never give someone a round for punching from the bottom of mount.
@@realjaytruth leverage of strikes is different from back mount to full mount by the mounted striker
All the Dagestanis are gonna come for you 🤣🤣
The second fight wouldn’t be close. You lot fought a guy who was still dehydrated before the fight. He was literally drinking water whilst Volk was being announced. I like that this fight has given the team a false confidence. I want to see that rematch.
Cope lmao. Islam will get destroyed just like it round 5. He was dragged into deep waters.
So Islam has to have a huge size advantage to win. That checks out
I’m convinced…the most dangerous people on this earth are ones who can tell a flat out lie…and fully buy into the lie…when the rest of the planet knows damn well they are lying 😂😂😂 the shit is scary.
Your guy lost!!!!!
That is the end.
Damn an Australian that thinks Volk won, no way!
Also Volks wasn’t stuck in the body triangle, he was on top. Islam was clearly stuck underneath him.
lol Craig you and all Team of Volkswagen are Salty clowns'🤡🤡🤡...you lost the fight ..its so funny you are all so stupid ..just get over it haters...Islam Won and your short guy LOST ...casual looosers cry some where, else ..
What happened with you and Chael???
And the result is …. Still 2nd place in Australia 😂.
Yer but your clothes tag is out lol
good excuse. now you can cry.
95% of the people believe Volk won. Now that Islam's flaws have been exposed, his mom wants him to quit. 🤣
Nah unfortunately there's a ton of Islam meatriders and they're going into every thread they can find and calling the people who disagree with the decision salty, because they know their boy got smashed. 🤷🏼♂️
People are acting like Volk won the grappling exchanges. Truth is he didn’t. Craig forget to mention the first round as well, when Islam took Volk’s back.
Anyways, I am a Islam fan guys and I’ll be rooting for him in the rematch. Mark my words, he will dominate in the rematch.
Erm volk still lost...that's a fact. Even after rewatching many gave Islam the win. You are only focusing in grappling. Islam beat volk in the stand up easily. "That's a fact that's undeniable"
Islam beat Volk in standing and on the ground.
Straight facts.
Thanks for the clip of Mikey destroying that dude's leg, I don't want breakfast any more.
Sambo guy KO 😂
...it's time to move on
Volk was smiling yet Islam had his back while taken down. That sums up the fight for me. In a sense we see a defiant Volk smiling, bloody and nodding to the crowd. We thought the fight would be a domination due to size and strength, yet it was close. However, in no way did Volk win that fight. Islam won rounds 1,2,4 for sure !!
Lol how did he win round 4?
size and strength? This fight showed, that size doesn't matter as much, as skills and Volk is a better fighter than Islam. Also, Volk was stronger than Islam in this fight
I think you’re right. But I also think it would have sucked to see the 155 belt change hands like that. Volk probably did get robbed but he’s also been on the other side of it before. He definitely should have lost the decision in the 2nd fight with Holloway.
Dean Lister called, he want's his neck back
Calm down buddy, Volk won 2 rounds at most , plus you're biased so your opinion doesn't mean anything.
RIP Sambo
Yeah you’re right, Put them back in abu dhabi and Let makhachev get his 48H rehydration time and See what happens, volk will get Dominated for 5 RD and Lost a decision 👌🏻
What did Gordan Ryan say about sambo 🤔.
How yeah If you want to do MMA train Sambo. If you want to do ADCC do Jits.
So buy Gordan Ryan’s instructional over this instigator 😂
Get over it!
Salty 😂
3-2 Islam
"Rugby is a better base than Sambo"? More like being a WEIGHT BULLY is always going to win you fights at FW. Volk starts his career at 210 lbs. He cuts down to Welterweight to start his MMA career. He is at Welterweight/LW for FIVE years. He loses at Welterweight and gets knocked the f out. So he runs off to LW and after 5 fights goes down to FW to be a WEIGHT BULLY. He comes back to LW and loses to Makachev now back to FW to be a WEIGHT BULLY. Volk fans trying to erase the history that this is a guy who has cut down to FW from Light Heavyweight to be a weight bully. He can't avenge his losses at Welter and he has run from that division. Makachev lost at LW and then came back and cleared the division. When will Volk clear the Welterweight division?
COPE
It's such bullshit to challenge another Volk in your own weight. If you're gonna challenge Volk, you should go down to Volk's own weight.
People really need to read the Scoring Criteria. The fact that people think that Time Control is one of the main criteria is bizarre. A fight it's scored by Plan A (Effectiveness) and if that shows a tie then, Plan B (Agressiveness) and if that also fails then Plan C (Control Management).
Holding position for 3 minutes without adding damage or submission attempts while being hit isn't Effective Grappling. That's holding position while your opponent shows Plans A and Plan B.
The fourth round shouldn't have been score for Islam.
Those were the same judges from O'Malley vs Petr and Ankalaev vs Jan. They got chewed up by the media for not valuing the Grappling exchanges in those fights and ended up overcompensating in this one.
Facts💯 no bullshit
Normally I'd want to watch a video like this simply because Craig Jones is an elite level practitioner who also has the rare ability to explain and teach, rather than just perform. Having experienced a decade plus in academia, along with working along side teachers/professors, research scientists, and clinical practitioners, while also having worn each of those hats myself in varying degrees, I am painfully aware that just because you are good at doing something it doesn't mean a damn thing when it comes to being able to teach it to others. Craig can both perform and teach at the absolute highest of levels.
However, who tf do I think I am actually kidding here? I clearly just came here for one reason and one reason primarily, and that is because Craig is freaking hilarious lol
Let volk fight Rodriguez cut weight and come back up to 155 and fight in Abu Dhabi. These salty guys had a double 155 training camp. They want everything on a plate. Islam was serverley weight drained. The crowd caused lots of bias, even when there was clearly no knock down, you can't be salty the crowd did not tip the bias too far. 😉
So let me get this straight......what does Islam get in a rematch? Volk said pfp #1 on the line then he took that back also in his own words after losing but saying in front of UFC ppv event in Abu Dhabi this was for that he was putting that on the line🤦🤦🤦 so Islam won a unanimous decision didn't get pfp #1 and Islam has to fight again for his legacy?🤣🤣🤣🤦🤦🤦wtf are y'all talking about Islam only can lose again he can't gain nothing as this fight showed besides accusations of cheating and cry baby bullshit 🤣🤣🤣
when the 🤡 has words
Volk on top
Makhachev striking look way more impressive than Volk TD defence in this fight imo 🤷🏻
So many jealous fighters hating on Islam and Khabib. Keep hating while they keep winning titles and making a fortune.
Let’s be honest, the fight was not close. I think the 3 things the fight did was highlight (1) how good islams stand up is; (2) highlight how good volks gas tank is (3) prove volk doesn’t have a neck to get strangled.
Islam kinda has rugby experience...
Have you ever heard of Dagestani Basketball? 😂😂😂
With ya all the way big guy
