Volk is the man. Defending the belt clearly was just a warm-up for this cooking segment.
People are going to miss the fighting spirit and essence of Volk once he retires. Cherish the Champ while he's in his prime. Deserves so much more praise - I'd go as far as to say he is the best role model in the UFC by far.

Wow what an amazing intro animation
Lmao. I remember when they suggested that. Didnt expect they would actually do it! Kudos to both of you!
Champion is so humble that's the main reason he is champion in ufc that attitude never let him take things for granted keep it up champ we are watching ur every moves.
