Alot of ppl would do the same just be the great... But only a few will cry losing, blaming his own decision ...
The amount of respect the 2 fighters has shown to each other is truly the pinnacle of what this sport is and should be. In comparison with the (crossover boxing) scene.

They both know they are the peak. Everyone else is looking at them. They are the most dangerous at their own weight. Islam is more dominant at his weight than volk could be at 155 imo But volk has the style and body type to beat Islam

I'm a huge Makhachev fan, so I'll be rooting for him in this fight. But, regardless of the outcome in the ring, I genuinely hope and pray for Volkanovski's success in health, finances, family, mental well-being, and happiness. My support for Makhachev in the fight doesn't diminish the respect I have for Volkanovski as a person. He's a terrific role model for how to conduct oneself in life.

This man deserves huge respect taking the fight on 2 weeks notice against a man who controversially beat him, Volk got it all the striking the grappling the mma he could and probably will beat Islam.
Best reporter in mma
Great interview! Pass on the thumbnail tho.
Finally a reporter didn’t say “how’s the band” and then Volk have to correct them and tell them it was the elbow.. Way to prepare good Sir!
Such a likeable guy. Lots of fighters can learn from this attitude
Really hope volk can win this time, he performed great last time out, and i thought he did enough to win.

I dont sense any fear from volk towards islam even with 12 days notice and khabib in islam's camp. This guy is just loves this particular matchup.
I think Alex wins this one seems like the hungrier fighter, may the best man win!
much respect for alex, most likely the GOAT featherweight, but he couldn't finish him with full camp and i think he made a mistake by taking this fight on short notice. Islam via submission is 4th or 5th. And still
Adam Catteral is one of the best interviewers out there
Love u volk but islam is on a league of his own.
Volk is something else a great champion a credit to our sport 👏
Every time both either belt was on the line he was either in the fight or made weight for the fight. That’s insane
Volk is by far my most fav fighter right now! But I am not feeling confident about this one. Short notice fight against a monster like Makhachev! Doesn’t feel alright!
Pleaseure to see him at peak before retiring.
Good luck to him hes a great fighter, im supporting islam but as long as its a great fight i dont think anyone will be too unhappy.
I'm still worried that Volks still has that left arm strapped up, with only a week till fight day. I really hope he's fully fit this weekend!!

Only difference is Volk still has his Championship belt with him (and defended it too) while pursuing lightweight glory. Guy really does live up to his nickname.
It would be nuts to see Volk win the belt then later in Jan defend his own belt and after that in 2024 defend the Lightweight belt. That would be one hell of a life script for the ages.
Hopefully after Islam defeats him again in this rematch...he and his teammates doesn't comes out with any excuses and reasons.

Volk speaking facts keeping both divisions busy without being champ 🤯
Forget Islam and all these other fighters, Volk is built different he is the anatomy of a fighter. Always shows up no excuses, can do it all and always fighting.
My prediction win or lose Alex won't be hurt by Islam and will walk out of there with a smile on his face.

This man travelled almost halfway across the world, is gonna make weight and have a rematch with the UFC lightweight champ amd he's taking this fight on just 10 days notice! Alexander Volkanovski is a gangster that deserves respect. That being said, I think the champion will beat him again.
and still
If volks win, he should fight colby or leon to became triple champ, the reason is because colby and leon looks beatable by islam and volks
Volk knows he ain't getting a decision in this fight if it's as close as everyone thinks.

It’s just not worth it in my opinion, he won the first fight. Now he doesn’t even get a full camp before the rematch.
Amazing, we've got 1 of, if not the best squads in international football. I'm still not convinced about Southgate. Any decent manager would've won summat with this team already. If he doesn't deliver at the next tournament, then I think that he's got 2 go!

Watching the whole fight back with zero sound just shows me that Volk did won. Landed more strikes, did more facial damage, dropped him once and that’s that. Islam held onto Volk for dear life and even so, Volk was landing more punches and doing more damage. Take those minutes away from islam where he just stalled the fight doing nothing then what did he do in the fight? Nothing. He dropped Volk to a knee that’s it.

If Volk gets in this fight with the mindset that he is fighting same Islam dehydrated in Australia with 12 hours recovery of weightcut and fighting early in the morning,he ll be in for big surprise!

Volk made a good point that I’ve been thinking of. The line to Makhachev was 2 fights deep and with how long Islam takes between fights, volks age, it could’ve all been factors in him not getting the rematch he deserved.

Nice 👍
Alex defended his Featherweight title 4 times, twice against Max before becoming the number 1 P4P. Islam won a vacant title and immediately became number 2 P4P? Jones wins his first fight in 3 years and instantly becomes the number 1 P4P? Alex repeatedly smashed Islam's face while he was in body triangles. Now he knows the judge's don't like that position so he'll break the triangles so hard that those ankles no longer work when upright. I'm looking forward to this. 😀

I thought Islam won 48-47 and that the 49-46 card was a bit harsh. Alex looked good in his last fight but Islam is well rested. It should be a great fight. I have Alex to finish the fight in any manner at 5.3-1.
