From "how to beat Khabib" to "how to beat Islam"
Islam will never be as great as Khabib
@LEOMESHI for 1 minute what about the 24 before ?
@LEOMESHI Bullshit...it was a very close fight. Neither of them beat the other guys ass
@@kebob15 khabib was never k'od never had IV accusations was never in a "close" fight or "close to getting finished" it is better to all islam D rider to shut up and never comere islam to khabib again
@@RGNPvids okay okay but stop the iv 🧢, just cause dan hooker said it a former opponent who got subbed in 2 minutes. In Never wrote Islam is as good as khabib, not right now but he could surpass him
Craig jones taking a victory lap for his guy not getting submitted
Right😂 imo it says more about Islam when people are praising volk because he "made him look human"
He took a guy with no significant grappling background and had him give issues to a lifelong grappler in those exchanges and this is all despite coming from a weight class lower. You can hate but that’s impressive. If he gets more time with guys or starts helping them earlier in their careers he can make some legit killers. Some of the techniques and philosophies volk used to get back up are going to help future guys counter the dagestani style grapplers and eventually help crack the code.
How to beat Islam: Growing up on a Hiltop in Dagestan!
Alex is from Australia
I love how everybody talks this way, knowing that Islam won the fight. They talk as if Alex won the fight, but he did it. He lost. The fight is not based on one round it’s based on the whole fight. It’s a sport not a street fight.
@@ejl74 whoever that lady is on ur channel is smoking
@@ejl74 so many words and not a single argument for how Islam won round 2, 3, 4 or 5. Volk wins based on damage, as we are in a damage based scoring system. Volk 🐐 Islam 🐔
Or knock him out like what happened in UFC 192.
Craig Jones seems like he has amazing coaching skills.
Yes and too much talk
Khabib and Volk would have been interesting. I think Volk would have had more success on the feet, but I also think Khabib would have been able to hold him down better
His Coach and some others who saw them both in sparring regularly said Islam is better. So Volk would've won against Khabib 🤷
@@iannovak5223 Better overall. Khabib’s GnP is just OP.
@@iannovak5223 islam is by far the better striker than khabib, but khabib in my opinion had better ground control and gas tank.
It's anyone's guess on how volk might match up against khabib...
@@iannovak5223 on the feet yes. I remember seeing an interview where they said Khabib pretty much always got the best of Islam In wrestling though
@@iannovak5223 hey don't forget that Islam was dehydrated, not due to weight cut, but due to shortened recovery time which is only happens in Australia.
If Volk and Islam fight anywhere else in the world, Islam would destroy Volk. Not even close.
Islam at his weakest could outpoint Volk, in Volks home country, against a hostile crowd.
So he was physically and mentally disadvantaged and still won.
I don't think volk fans understand this.
"The most serious injuries happen when you're tired, overtraining. He does do some crazy training workouts, but all safe, very safe. When he's redlining like that in the training room it's a very controlled, safe setting" damn I don't even like craig jones but I needed to hear that put like that to get it
how can u dislike craig
Straight out how can you not like Craigy Jones laaaddd
@@bornfromabove1769 ozzy 😬
It’s bc he’s on the sauce
Might be his yeast infection
What sets Khabib apart from Islam is the unorthodox stance that is awkward to deal with, the relentless pressure by marching down on his opponent, taking them down by force somehow managing to GnP them while holding them down and the innate durability of absorbing punches.
True, Islam is far more of a threat going forward through
I like how Lex has strategically chosen to sit where he’s sitting. Nice perspective to make him look un-tiny. Nice try.
Untiny? 😂😂
@@TuranZeynalliArmWrestling it’s grammatically incorrect but functionally hilarious. Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt lol
Poetic license. Hehe
I’m definitely more of a volkanovski fan than Islam. Volk is just so entertaining. That being said, I felt Islam fought his worse fight he could against volk and still won. Islam looked like shit walking to that cage and still won, he definitely had a bad weight cut and needs to go to 170. I hate to say it but I feel Islam submits him in a rematch if he doesn’t have as short of a time between weigh ins and the fight.
Islam is too small for 170 are you mad
@@filip6457 you’re either foolish or biased, I don’t know which lol but Islam is anything but too small for 170
@@filip6457I think Islam is bigger than most casuals think.
@@batmanRBC have you met him in person
Yuri Boyka is the most complete fighter in the world
Lmao davi ramos won adcc but okay yeah islam didnt fight grapplers
And he submitted 2 bjj black belts. Like legit black belts. Thiago Moises. Legit black belt. And some of his early opponents also grapplers just not known. But good grapplers. Not to mention all the opponents outside ufc.
They give anyone black belts these days. Also whwn he submitted Charles, it was more because Charles was hurt from the knockdown. When Islam took him down before that, he couldnt pass charles gaurd and was even getting hurt in it
Lex is trying to get Craig to reveal secrets
Thiago Moises is a grappler
Thiago also managed to take down Islam, if I'm not mistaken.
This guy Craig doesn't know what his talking about when it comes to mma
@@angusbeefballfro huh?
I didn't watch the fight but based on how these guys are talking I thought Islam lost. then I checked I see these guys lost so not sure wtf they are talking about sitting here like their plan worked 🤣
their plan was to give their back, and cry about it
They had a lot more success than people wouldve thought and they couldve won if they didnt make minor errors. Not my opinion btw
Hahaha I know right. Your comment sums up this whole clip. They are celebrating taking an L from Islam's worst performance of his career
Don't give him the legal recovery time from weight cut
Excuses & excuses
@@iNeed2.p u r excuse ur slf
@@iNeed2.p it’s true though, if they rematch under the legal recovery time, I believe the outcome will be in better in Islam’s favor
Say Islam is a weight bully without saying he's a weight bully?
@@003halmr volk is the biggest weight bully
We knew the Aussie commission rules wouldn't allow Islam to fully rehydrate and he would gas. Run it back outside Australia and you'll see the difference. I like Volk but that was some shady shit.
Nobody mentioned this but it was super obvious. I agree
Volk had the same rules applied to him. Islam accepted the fight knowing those rules, if he can't make the weight safely then he should stop being a bully and fight people his size for once in his life.
@@mikeedwin1905 lol but volk is adding weight while Islam is cutting weight.
@@isseabdirahmanweheliye9010 my god the haters are so duuuumbbb
would have been great if he had given Volk this information
I just realized that Lex looks like Mato Jelic, the chess UA-camr.
He’s from the balkans 💯
yes@@vmro9446
From the creator of "how to fly using unicorns instead of commercial flights"
Lol look at craig he is so proud of his coaching that volk survived Islam's grappling and thinks that he found the secret to break it 😂. I got it now surviving against makhchev makes you great enough and coaches feels proud . But at the end he lost and also the knockdown in last round was a level change until volks connects the hand. Islam was also winning the 5th until the last min.
Volk really won the fight. Islam couldn’t do shit to him on the ground. Really the opposite, volk did more damage on the ground than Islam
@@coltonhess7883 It's called ground control my guy. And volk 's punches did nothing. Islam did more damage overall
To take a guy from a weight class under with no significant grappling background and have him do that well vs a lifelong elite grappler is a legit thing to be proud of. The techniques craig had him work on were effective as late stage defenses to an elite grappler. He should be happy. Regardless of result both guys showed that they had another layer to their games that people didn’t expect. Islams striking looked better than people gave him credit for prior and volks grappling looked great. If they gave the win to volk that doesn’t mean Islam didn’t have a good performance striking.
@@MorningPeacock97Are you Volk's head? 🦵😴💤
Bro got his ass humbled bad🤣🤣
YOUR BOY GOT KNOCKED THE F OUT!!!!!!!! 0-2 MAKACHEV!!!! CHANGE THE TITLE TO HOW TO LOSE TO MAKACHEV TWICE
Volk won the first fight. Yes Volk got knocked out but it was coming off arm surgery, 10 days notice, severely drained and dehydrated from dropping 25lb in that time which lowers reaction time and are easier to be kod. If Islam didn’t win it would be embarrassing for him
Where is he now ?after ufc294😂
Dr Gavin wood please
Everyone looks like they're from Winnipeg
Volkanovski just got Makhachev at the last minute and some people started talking shit. They forgot how their fellow BJJ black belts is getting mauled for decades.😂😂😂😂
They will keep talking trash, and we will keep winning. That the difference. 💪💪💪
who is we?
you probably arent even a hobby athlete yourself let alone a part of any dagestani gym associated with nurmagomedov.
wheres that "we" coming from lmao
@@mcdick1621 we the people mfer, this was nothing more then just "anotha one"
use his lay and pray strategy
Khabib is not the best wrestler, but he mixes martial arts together better, or at least more innovatively, than everyone he fought. To beat Islam you must be innovative, and obviously strategic and tactical.
Damn volk should’ve had you in his camp
No khabib is the best wrestler, there's been stories said over time from fighters, where Khabib would go to wrestling gyms to spar absolute studs, and he would shock the gym with how he has his way with a wrestler he ''isn't supposed to beat''.
@james haliburn Khabib is the most dominant wrestler in MMA. GSP for example, is said to have the best takedowns in MMA. GSP applied wrestling better than wrestlers *in MMA* . Neither has defeated an Olympic wrestler in pure wrestling, nor would they. MMA is different.
You don't have to take my word for it-take Khabib's. Cujedo and DC is better at wrestling. Imagine how different wrestling would look if you were allowed to sprawl and knee competitors in the head or if there was no fence. Rulesets change the fight, and determine who wins which is subjective to skillsets.
@@nathanv.4397 khabib said that Henry and dc are more accomplished not better
@@thunderousbandit6679 He needs the proof. Who has he beaten? Where are his medals? He is from a country full of Olympic wrestling studs. I think he'd fare well in wrestling but he's not on their level. We would know if he was bc if his wrestling pedigree was that high he would have been isolated into a wrestling programs, as the promising kids in Dagestan are. He'd smoke the show in folk wrestling (but that's more popular in the west) bc his biggest strength is ground control which he uses to "smesh." He chains judo, Sambo, and wrestling takedowns relentlessly until he achieves success and applies his ground control. This is why he is so masterful at *mixed* martial arts.
Normally the cage works well for Islam and khabib,but in the volk fight,it did seem like it worked a bit against Islam. In a rematch Islam would dominate,I think Volk did all the best he could do,but Islam did not look himself at all.
Why are the rules not universal, regardless of where you fight in the world? You’d think the UFC would have 1 set of rules and regulations that would apply globally…
Sports are regulated by athletic comissions/federations. When in a country you have to abide by their state's rules.
In some countries there's no sanctioning body for MMA so the UFC acts as the sports comission there, but if there's an already existing body that country's rules supercede everything else.
Craig Jones' Jiu-Jitsu is superior to Dagestani Wrestling. Makachev won against Alex using striking, not the wrestling skills he is known for.
Craig is a G
goblin?
I love Volk as a fighter, he's a beast, but come on. I've watched the fight at least a dozen times. Half of them I saw it with the sound off. Hell of a match. A few things that Volk supporters fail to realize or choose to ignore: Islam dropped Volk twice, once in round 1 and once in round 2. It was clear as day. One of the hits that dropped volk was not even a flush punch, it was actually the inner part of Islam's wrist from swinging. It shows the power of Islam. Volk tells his corner he's lost the first 2 rounds, he said it and in my opinion those were clear. So by that logic Islam would have only had to win 1 more round to win the fight, which he clearly won round 4, with that beautifully timed takedown. The rules say "effective striking and effective grappling". Now for Round 3, in my honest opinion I still cannot decide on that round, it was close. I mostly give volk the edge for the round. One other thing which was a little annoying, was how much volk was giving islam props for each time he connected with a solid hit which volk felt. I believe in round 2 or 3, he literally gave him props half the round. Round 5 was clearly Volk. Volk did awesome. His takedown defense, his will, his cardio are all off the charts. Volk also played to the crowd great and it was a great scene him yelling and getting amped up. But the fact of the matter is, he was in a losing position for most of that round 4. The last thing is that I believe this was a great version of Volk, one who had a competitive match with a force like Islam. Can anyone say this was even close to the best Islam? If they were to run it back, will the outcome be the same? Will it even go the distance? This is it should happen, if volk beats yair and Islam beats the winner of benny and Charles. I enjoy constructive criticism and dialogue so if anyone has some insight feel free to share, thanks.
Well said, I gave Islam rounds 1,2, and 4 easy. Volk is phenomenal I take nothing from him, he's a true champ, but he didn't win that fight.
I thought Volc won
Islam was at his lowest and still managed to arguably beat Volk, he surely didn’t smesh him but still won. So imagine a rematch in Abu Dhabi, in the same condition as when he fought Charles.
@Krønøs EU I agree with this. Or at least he was not 100%. Even looking at him, he looked completely different than he did against Charles. I don't mean to discredit Volk, because he looked and prepared incredibly. I would like to see a rematch in the next year. Hopefully, we get to see it.
The wall is a big difference between wrestling and bjj. In the wrestling world its somewhat considered cheating to use the wall against your opponent. Then I started training bjj and people will just smash you right into it! ;-)
Dude forgot Thiago Moises. Still salty?
Craig Jo es is 1 of the best if not best in my eyes.
Lmao jones doesnt know what hes talking about. Davi ramos is a adcc world champion😂😂the highest of the high championship in adcc something jones never will win
Jon Jones vs islam but they’re the same size. Who wins?
Volkanovski champion mentality
Volk skill + body anatomy played a huge part, Islam gonna submit most bjj artist
We've seen him lose, so don't we have the answer to this question already?
Alhamdulilallah 29-0
Except in the people’s eyes YOUR MUSLIM BOY LOST
Jull pull guard bro
Submission grappling vs charles?? Islam would win 10 out 10 times against charles
Craig is the man
He is 🤡
Looking at Islams face in the last minutes of the Volk fight. Tells it all.
It doesn’t matter and funny about this topic that at the end they lost 😮, they did not stop Islam they lost ?
Speak English kid. Volk 🐐 Islam 🐔
@@mikeedwin1905 I might not speak English as well but not as delusional as you :) I guess speaking only one language doesn’t make you smart and knowing the facts !
All these Aussie guys and volk fan girls always talking like volk won the fight 😂 shit is hilarious
i find it funny every islam fan says islam looked his worse that day and he had bad weightcut lol
@@IVslamhe was
Still trying to figure it out. 🤷🏻♂️ #andstill
I've only seen Craig Jones commentate but not fight, can he do MMA at all? He affiliated with Volk and his team so I am sure he has to lie in interviews
Volkanovski is the best
The average 😂😂
this guy is always trying to dismiss Islam's win over Charles "he was basically knocked out". He wasn't. By that logic Charles was "knocked out" in his last few fights too whenever he got rocked and was on the ground trying to pull guard. Jiujitsu guy gets submitted and Craig is just coping beyond relief. And I don't believe for a second that Charles can beat Islam in submission grappling the way Craig is saying.
Without getting knocked down Islam couldn't submit Volk, so i didn't think that Islam could submit Charles without getting rocked
Mr Young Ornitier has spoken facts
Bullshit
@@vlrema2898 what kind of logic is that lol. That’s like saying if you couldn’t knock one guy out in one fight then you can never knock any guy out, Charles is not Alex. It was clearly just a different fight. I don’t think Charles can beat Alex either.
He was lol. Charles was completely dizzy and when you get knocked down 80% of your grappling just fly out of the window. When Islam take charles down or when Charles pull guard Islam couldn't do the same that he has doing in guys bad in grappling with is ground and pound. Actually, Charles almost sweept Islam and made him stand up and get out of the position of the ground and pound in the first round (right before the judo throw in the cage) making charles inverted the body lock. Islam just submitted Charles because he knocked him down, that is the point that craig was doing and he is right about that.
I came back here after that head kicked😂Craig forgot Sambo isn’t just wrestling or grappling…take that!!
🤦♂️ You acting like that kick was completely unique to Sambo, it’s not, every striking martial art other than boxing knows it. Craigs statement is still true. Sambo is literally just judo without gi pants and some more wrestling, Combat sambo utilised savate strikes. It’s literally just Russian mma, it’s not a unique martial art
Craig Jones is to old to compete anymore, but he can still give irrelevant advice about other peoples fighting styles! Go Islam!
Think about this for a sec.
They say that Islam took IV, he would’ve only done that if he had a bad weight cut, and STILL he looked significantly smaller that day.
If you have a bad weight cut you’re:
Smaller
Slower
Weaker
And volk still couldn’t win?? So I don’t understand the title ??
Volk was clearly smaller on the day.
Like volk didnt need an IV because he wasnt cutting as much weight, therefore after the IV and rehydration, islam would be bigger no?
It's about the recovery time, Volk even mentioned it before the fight
But he took an IV instead of facing the negative effects of forcing his way into the weight class
Wrestling beats jiujitsu 100 percent of the time
Better conditioned athletes with a better mindset towards fighting. Give a wrestler a handful of submissions and it’s game over. That’s exactly why they walk into BJJ academies and walk over purple belts. It says something when it takes a good black belt to tame a half decent wrestler
That is objectively false
👋
when the 🤡 has words
That "🤡" is one of the best grapplers in the world. He’s also very smart in terms of mma and showed that his tactics against Islam in terms of grappling work very well as Volk stopped all of Islams submission attempts, got back up and won the fight
@@benjthewhitehas he ever competed in mma , he will get smoked in the octagon 🤡
This is hilarious.
I bet Volk would have won if Gordon Ryan was his coach
To say that olivera would win over islam in a sub match is absurd
Okay random dude on youtube, tell us why craig jones is wrong and you are correct
hed literally just enter any ashi position and end it.
@@sdt44 Well said. So many will type something like that but not back it up at all either in their original comment or when asked to elaborate. It's just pointless.
Ok bud lol. Count how many sambo submission wrestlers have won Adcc vs BJJ guys 💀💀💀
@@MrAv3rag3 ADCC is for gay people, real men do sambo. lol
Are you really serious Greg saying how to beat ISLAM ☪️. Make this short your boy volky who you been training couldn't get Da job done. GREG that's a bad idea don't go there you definitely don't have Da answer serious. SAY NO MORE.
Those 6 weeks did nothing for Volk. He lost anyway. Mission failed.
Islam looked done in RD5 few seconds from LIGHTS OUT good thing those Russians got good money to pay off judges and do IVs all day long.
@@bboybreezi2417 lol imagine what would you say if it was in Dubai rather than Australia?
@@bboybreezi2417 He lost, except for last few seconds, in his own back yard. Stop being salty, start to learn how to appreciate other fighters.
@@KHABIB-TIME bro ur username is Khabib, expect a biased opinion. Volk showed that Islam isn’t that good, he’s not invencible, he was grabbing Volk for mercy last 2 rounds.
This guy looks so annoyed and uninterested when he asks questions
This was islams first 5 fight too don’t forget that AND he went up against the #1 P4P at the time. In the rematch islam finishes Volk I guarantee it
Volk just showed us
Get me “” out of here
islam was on top of olivera for 2 rournds? and islam was the one who took the fight to the ground ! in second round charles defened with all his power to not grappl islam
You beat Islam by bum rushing him Ngannou style. Your welcome
It's funny how the aussies are acting as if they beat makhachev. When in reality the only thing volkanov achieved was survive. Islam clearly won the fight.
He didn't clearly win though. Funny thing is the Islam was the one who looked like he was trying to survive.
@@phunchu8202 bro best version of volk got beat up by dehydrated makhachev

After the head kick KO
I thought volk won the fight. Forget the stupid round by round scoring. Volk won the fight. Islam looked busted up afterwards and volk didn’t have a scratch on him.
💯
Best version of Volk got beat up by a dehydrated makhachev. Volk only won last minute of fight
Volk had a huge cut on his eye and that damage Islam took only came in the last two min of the fight
@@tangsun8535 I respect your opinion but obviously I disagree. Control time is absurd. Volk took no damage in that regard. And if this fight went 2 more rounds I think Volk gets the finish.
As far as dehydration. It’s his choice to cut all that weight. He’s a big 155er. I think he would be better at 170. What’s your opinion?
@@veganfit2388 makhachev landed more hard shorts in striking. He beat volk every where. Makhachev had his back which is a dominant position. Also in Australia u get 12 hrs less time to cut wt and rehydrate. So if it was in usa or Abu Dhabi volk would have gotten finished.
It’s ridiculous how Australians are acting like they won, if we consider only the grappling side volk got taken down 4 to 0 and got hold on the ground for 8 minutes, craig believe his own delusion, feels like it’s the highlight of his career when coached against Islam 😂
Ahh you have no idea about mma man. Bum ass dude that’s never trained
Craig is such a sore loser in that matter. Islam clearly outgrappled volk for most part and craig didnt teach him enough.
Alao oliveira wouldnt finish Islam as Islam outgrapplers adcc champs as one of them admitted.
