Rugby is Australias version of USAs wrestling essentially. Quite good techniques and fitness that transfers over. Not to mention that lack of neck (a lot of rugby players have short necks cause of big traps or learn to tuck there neck in very far to avoid injuries and absorb a tackle) helps counter submission artists.

Bullshit that USADA woke Volk on fight night to do a urine test though, someone should have been fired for that. Imagine before your title fight, you get woke up, made to chug a water until you can piss for them, then take sleeping pills before a fight to try to overcome the situation.

​@Monsterbaby's Channel Well, it wasn't irrelevant to Max lol. It woulda been his title back even if he lost it again. He deserved it. That 3rd fight was the ultimate decider that we're in Volk's era now though. Aldo, Max, and then Volk each with their own reign. But Max did earn it back even if it was for that last time.

The only truly honest comment on here, respect!

the way volk used to be as big as he was when he was playing rugby, to not only to lose weight train mma at 24 then to become one of the greatest fighters. it’s astonishing what he’s doing with little time he’s had. he’s my favorite fighter because he embodies a true mixed martial artist. he combines everything together and puts it all in 1. his striking wrestling iq etc. he’s truly one of the greats. i try to mimic my style after him

And if I'm not mistaken the position that he played in Rugby is a position that the bigger, heavier players usually play. Just shows this guy is a natural born winner and has an exceptional work ethic also he isn't a fighter that after becoming a champion becomes a cocky, self absorbed toolbag Now more then ever the UFC/WWE needs more champions like Alexander "The Great" Volkanovsky

Seems like the most down to earth fighter in the UFC and is not scared to fight anyone

There's several things you can't do to Volk: You can't break him. You can't outlast him. You can't out-gas him. As well: He's *very* hard to submit (the best couldn't do it). He's *very* hard to KO (only once 10 years ago). So that leaves a *very* narrow path to victory over Volk!

Volk is one of the greatest fighters of our generation.

CLENCHED TEETH is my favorite MMA youtube ch.

Volk is for sure top 5 ever in ufc history

How could you dislike this man tuff as nails and just a good humble person 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

I too notice how unshakable Volk's mindset was and I thought it would be broken by Dagestanis like how Conor, Dustin, Justin, Olivera etc... have. Boy I was wrong, I should have believe him the moment he escaped Ortega's guillotine. And holy fck that Round 5, he's the one on top of Islam! He does indeed have an tremendous heart, strength and mindset. He has no quit in him and I don't think someone in the 145,155, and 170 have stronger mindset than him.

Would highly recommend people watch his full UFC career. His development is insane. He fights almost nothing like he did in his debut.

Volk is everything great about a champion. He fights all The time. He wants the hardest fights. He is fun to watch.

Any where anytime this champ from the US to BRAZIL has smeshed his opponent’s 💀 humble down to earth strong AF and scared of no man alive 👊 I GIVE YOU ALEXANDER THE GREAT HULKANOVSKI. Awesome video thank you 👍

Volk and Max are two champs that can go to a decision almost every fight they have and nobody minds that they didn’t get a finish. Sometimes a 25 minute beat down is more entertaining than a quick KO.

Awesome work on this video! Love seeing deep dives on my favorite fighters! Thanks for making it!
