@@user-iy3gb1sp2w Charles lost he tapped end of story. If it's a rematch and he taps again or gets TKO, he is a whole class lower than Islam. Beating 4 top 5 guys means nothing when you lose against Islam who was the 4th ranked guy when they fought and Charles got destroyed.
Islam is the best; a living legend. Just beat the P4P number 1 fighter twice now. Everyone must appreciate Islam now.
Makachev's striking is INSANE!! What A GOAT !!
It blows my mind how people dont give this guy credit for his Stand up. How many more fights does he need to do to show he can stand and bang. This isnt colby covington here who only does wrestling for decisions.

His striking coach was on the Russian Olympic Tae Kwon Do team his name is Seyfula Magomedov so of course he has good kicking. His main coach is Magomed Bagandov who is head of Nurmagomedov MMA school, go follow them they deserve to be known.
Still remember the time when the kids were crying that he got a title fight "too early". People, he got the title fight early because literally everybody was avoiding him, now you understand why.

@@user-iy3gb1sp2w Islam was the winner in my eyes but not in the way the above person said, it was a back and forth fight with Volk 2 rounds for sure (2nd was tough but for Volk and 5th definitely Volk). But head kick was somewhat a weakness of Volk (Islam didn't test him enough in the first fight most likely of distance management from Volk, props to him) and if it was a full camp, he could have dealt with it better.

4 and a half round for Islam. Volk got the last minute though. That last minute gave Volk a false hope and getting over-confidence that he can do it again.

@@enriquemendoza2700 I mean Volk was has defeated a lot of wrestlerd throighout his career. You can confidently say, he cleared the featherweight division. Islam wasn't aiming a lot for takedowns in the fight because he tried it in the beginning and it didn't work. Didn't effectively work in Australia either. Volk should've seen it coming and it looks more like he predicted Islam to give a lowkick because Islam set it up the entire fight.

@@samuraibirds917 rewatch the fight, Islam did not 100% go for the take down, he just wanted to close the distance and clinch. And right before the head kick, Islam is constantly feinting the takedown by slightly dropping his level, causing Volk to take steps back. And yes Islam was setting up the head kick by going low then high. Sorry if I’m coming off rude lol
Last line is hilarious 😂
Already did after he twatted Oliveira and fought evenly on the feet with Volk. People clown Islam in favour of Khabib but they're not the same, for better or worse. Khabib's chain wrestling and ground and pound maulings were better but Islam's striking is far superior to Khabib.

Khabib Nurmagomedov will beat all the skills with only one skill "on the ground" with dominant passion without any cuts or bruise , everyone knows his gameplan but no one can stop him , thats what makes him the G.O.A.T of the sport .
Islam Makhachev reminds me of Kamishiro Yuu from Holyland Manga. He just keeps evolving and has incredible reflexes and high fighting iq.
Beyond all. A championship 🏆 attitude. Every Singh word is like a real champ
MMA way better than boxing 👏
"my phone is working, dana call me" idk this guy is funny

The way Islam always talks about Habib like he is my big brother , I always listen to him. He has so much humility 🥹❤️
