Yep, with how good Ortega is at those types of finishes. It seemed like he had found the moment to clinch the fight and seemed like it was all but over. Was one of the greatest personifcations of Championship Heart.

​@@jakobnance5277 Aldo is definitely #1. The man was WEC/UFC champ for 6 years. And he was from an era when featherweights cut less weight, so guys like Conor, Max, and Volk outsized him. That being said, if Alex gets a few more wins he'll surpass him. He's dominated everyone other than Max, and he still beat Max twice. Even people who call the second fight a robbery have to admit it was razor thin and the first fight was a clear victory for Alex.

Was at the pub and that guillotine made everyone sit down for a moment: then i shit you not, the moment you made that opening and got out the whole local area just shook of people screaming for you. Absolute legendary fight, with a legendary fighter.

I always love hearing about fighters thoughts, perspective, and decisions during their fights. The level knowledge and experience is fucking unique like being invited to see another world.

You remind me of Stipe, champ. Both come from Balkan backgrounds, very hard workers and always put the work in. It’s always refreshing to see just pure champs who work consistently and get the job done!

I'm quitting smoking because you inspired me 🥳🥳 #ufc266

Definitely do more of these! Brilliant to hear such in depth analysis of your mental state during the fight. Very inspirational.

We were almost pissing our pants screaming at the tv during that moment. This was a sick video, love these types of ride along chats 👍 do more.

I liked the way this video was filmed, feels like we are hanging out with you champ, and that you are sharing a hell of an experience!

Awesome job man, so proud of you and Brian as a stranger. Appreciate the video a lot and looking forward to more personal ones. You guys are amazing.

What a fight! Fantastic to see the recap from your perspective!! Keep it up legend 👍

I'm all about this kind of content, Volk! I'm definitely all for more of these moment breakdowns, what your experience was like being in them. One of the best aussies going! Making me wanna be a better aussie, whatever that means - a better human who also happens to be from Australia, i suppose. Cheers legend ☀️

This fight was one of the best and most exciting fights I've need. Props to both guys. This is why we all love martial arts.

That was a great fight. I was left with a huge amount of respect for both fighters after watching it. Volk and Ortega both have a champion's spirit with how they performed against adversity.

I haven't watched the replay , but at the time I remember thinking you did the whole "squirm with every bit of life in you" technique, that we all use when we get in a crazy spot we shouldn't be in.. Credit to your toughness you were in a cage fight and still had enough energy to make that happen.

You're definitely the man champ. Rewatched that fight a half dozen times at least. Still amazed you got out of both of the submissions. That 3rd gives me goosebumps everytime. You're the goat 🐐

Best fight I’ve ever watched

Love this content mate. Keep em coming!

Браво легендо! Голема поддршка имаш од Македонија! Само напред

Keep it coming, enjoyed hearing your perspective on rd3

You're my idol. That fight nearly gave me a heart attack. Epic resilience

Such an epic fight! Congrats on the win champ! 👊🏻❤️

Bro It felt like I was getting choked. Couldn’t be happier you won !!!

Enjoyed the video! Hope to see you do more of these👍

Bro I was in denial for the longest time being a Holloway fan boy, but man this fight changed my whole perspective. That was some of the most inspirational shit I'd ever seen, what a fucking fight, what a fucking champion! Let's fucking go volk, I've proudly jumped on the bandwagon

Incredible insight! The side of fighting us fans just can’t get close enough for, keep this type of vids up pls champ

Thank you for the insight Volk. You’re continually evolving as a martial artist, making history and solidifying legacy. 🔥🥋

this is dope. we get the behind the scenes to one of the craziest moments in any fight ever. youre the fuckin man volko!

Man, I want to go rewatch this fight, gonna enjoy it as much as the first time

Been a fan since the first time I saw you fight! The Ortega fight was a display of pure brilliance, ambition and defiance!!!! Pound for Pound #1 GOAT, in my opinion.And as classy as you are in the ring, you seem to be even more classy out of it!!! Humble, down to earth, and ridin in style!!!! Cheers!!!

Clearly on your way to becoming one of the best of all time!

Great breakdown. Great victory, champ.

This breakdown was very helpful.

One of the most inspirational fights. Seen it multiple times

Absolutely brilliant Vlecki keep these up great listening to these and its exactly how I seen it as well.....BQQM..!! A bloody LION in the cage... on another level in your Frequency...!!

Great Breakdown :)

Awesome, dude. All the best to you.

Amazing resilience. Brian Ortega had a solid guillotine, but incredible how Alexander Volkanovski endured. Amazing. Keep up the great work!

awesome breakdown. respect

the guy is a likable funny guy- it’s hard not to respect him- wasn’t too sure about him when he first came on the scene but he’s real down to earth and humble- still have no idea how he got out of those- even after he explained it

Real Dog fight blood and guts war. Mad respect to you for the 3rd round, but also to Ortega for rallying back in the 5th

Great breakdown, Volk. That fight was one of the best ever congratulations mate

💯Respect to you Champ!! I’m from Los Angeles and was routing for T-City... I also Bet on Max both times you fought... You are a Savage and definitely a Great Champion!! #RESPECT. 🙏🏽🌞🍺😎🤙🏽

Bro. Mad props, Ortega submission skills are high level

Best fight I've ever seen 👏🏻👏🏻

Great video! Would love if this was a series where you just chat about MMA as you drive. Call it Riding shotgun with Volk or something like that.

First like.. Big fan from India Sir.. You are the best featherweight 🙂

This bout was on my 18th was upset i couldn’t go out due to NSW lockdown but seeing that fight 100% made my birthday. Cheers Volk 🇦🇺🍻

I seen that Aussie spirit shine out of you when he locked up your neck , I was so pumped watching it when u got out I was jumping up and down getting goose bumps screaming at the tv !!!

Greatest round ever! Thanks for speaking on it champ! 🇦🇺🏆

Winning is a fight is an awesome thing to do. But escaping submission is almost as great as winning. Great respect ✊ legend.

thanks for ur commentary it would be great if u did post fight reviews!
