Makachev getting the credit he deserves here - his striking and overall ability to nullify Volk's game was very impressive in their last fight. That being said they call Alexander 'The Great' for a reason. He could go in there and employ an intelligent entry / read to rock Makachev and ground and pound him into a weakened condition for a later finish. Amazing fight - respect to both

Couple of times Volk fell backwards and was close to being knocked down. Happened to Islam only once. Volk even acknowledged some of islams heavy shots while islam never seemed impressed by Volks connections. You definitely have to rewatch the fight.

Respect Dan for keeping it real with how you scored the fight. A lot of people were judging the fight with the last minute of the fight and just because Islam looked human and Volk did better than expected, but that does not mean that he won. Gotta feel for Islam because he has been bashed a lot from that fight even though he defended his title in enemy territory and won.

Dan told me to tell you, you're welcome, bruh.

This fight is so good. I feel like a lot of fans and analysts are kind of blowing things up there. A lot of them seem to be thinking if Volk wins it's because he's some unstoppable monster of a man, and if Islam wins he's this juggernaut that can beat anyone. People need to understand that the reason we care about this fight is because it's the difference between 9.9 and 10. They're so evenly skilled, evenly experienced. If you put them against each other 10 times, if the results came back 5/5 I don't think anyone would argue that. Anyone saying one side would dominate the other every time is fully engulfed in bias. This fight is interesting because all it takes is one mistake and the other is skilled enough to take advantage of it. If Volk wins, credit to him. He managed to beat the only man recently who was able to stop him and got his revenge. If Islam wins, credit to him. He managed to beat someone who no one else has been able to conquer, again. Either way, I'd watch these two fight time and time again; regardless of who wins. And I'd never be able to be confident in who I thought would win.

The biggest difference in this fight is dehydration and full camp.

Volk got a bit too much extra credit on that first meeting with Islam. He did SO much better then anyone expected, and he exposed Islam for being human. Was the first time we didn't see him dominate the opponent he was fighting. That said, when you turn the volume down and watch that fight in the absence of emotion. It's so clear that Islam was the better fighter that day. Anyone who says differently needs to either watch more Mixed Martial Arts, or learn to detach from their emotions a bit more. This next meet, I expect Islam to be a MUCH harder opponent, he is going to look for a finish. He wants to put this rivalry to bed. I think the energy Volk had in the 5th he wont have this time cause he is going to push the pace MUCH HARDER much sooner. This is the ONLY shot he has at taking home a W. They are both the most elite in the organization IMO, but I think Islam is the better of the two fighters. Its not a popular opinion but its quite objective in my view. One this for sure, we as fans win no matter what when these 2 meet! Enjoy..

While I do agree that Islam quite clearly won the first fight, I don't agree with your second paragraph and I don't know how you can call it "objective". I think Volk took a lot from the first fight and knowing he can match Islam in strength and survive the grappling with him is huge. If they both had a full training camp, I belive Volk would have the upper hand. He knows he can deploy leg kicks, he can push a harder pace, not worry too much about submissions and mix in some Wrestling of his own. For Islam I don't know if he has the same obvious improvements He can make. He has been pushed for the first time, which is obviously a big experience for him, but tactically I don't think he gained as much as Volk did. But Volk taking this fight in short notice I truly don't know. Islam being bigger and in better fight shape will probably be the deciding factor here.

after rewatching the fight, it was 3-2 at leeeast and i'm pretty sure it was 4-1. not a whole lot happened. Volk kinda looked predictable/repetetive to me until the 5th round. a lot of ducking his head and hoping overhand shots land without much danger - but Islam simply kneed him and landed very nice check hooks. nothing too complex from Islam, just solid single strikes and great timing. Volk had some good moments where he was trying to pull off combos, and i think in a closer range exchange he'd do better... but he just couldn't really get/stay in range. I think Volk was holding back a little to avoid getting taken down into too bad of a position. i think in fight 2 if Volk is a bit more 'reckless' he might have more success. i believe he can win but i think Islam is still a moderate favourite here

The level of danger is way higher for Volk. It’s not like backwards punches are generating any power. Look at Islam’s face going into the fifth.

I think this second fight is going to be the style clash we all were expecting in the first and that kinda turned around. We expected Volkanovski to outstrike Islam, to set traps on the feet and land the cleaner shots. Instead, Islam knocked Volk down first and landed good strikes on Volk in the earlier rounds. We expected Islam to take Volk down and slowly drown him to a submission, and instead we got a very good defensive wrestling from Volkanovski and no real submission threats from Islam. So I’m sure they’ve both addressed the issues in their strong aspects of the game. I think this time Volk will be superior on the striking department. He found success with some combos in the later rounds and he’s probably drilled them and found new openings. But I also think Islam will have found a way to threaten Volk in the ground and he’s probably worked on taking down shorter opponents. It’s such a shame it’s on short notice, tho. Such a high level fight should only happen when both fighters are in the best conditions.

Its a big ask to go up a weight class AND fight the best in the that division. Seems clear Volk could compete at that weight, but becoming champ is another matter.

Great content! UFC would be lucky to have you cover fights.

I feel the same way I did when I initially watched it. Islam on points, but it was pretty clear who “beat up” the other guy more. Not that it matters in a round based system. Volk needs to win key moments and secure rounds early. He lost two rounds because he got his back taken. While Islam can hang in the standup, I don’t think he wants to nor can he for extended periods of time because Volk is able to inflict more damage. I see Islam trying to use more grappling to secure rounds again.

Volk did not "beat up" Islam. It's amazing how a final couple of minutes is all people will remember lol. Volk was constantly getting countered and outstruck on the feet the ENTIRE fight. Not once did he find his rhythm. And on the ground the best he did was get up. He wasn't offensive with his wrestling. He still got taken down and held there for some parts and an entire round. But Islam gets rocked the last minute and Volk gets in a few punches. That's all the "beating up" Volk could manage.

Makhachev with proper recovery time, as per actual protocols unlike the first fight. Looking at this impartially, Volkanovski needs a lot of luck.

Islam’s striking surprised me and I think Volk last fight. But Volks wrestling surprised Islam. This is what UFC is all about.

The thing that worries me as a volk fan is that, their first fight happened in australia where the fight happened 24 hrs after weigh-in (we all know the IV saga) Unlike other places or in dubai where the fight happens about 40hrs after weigh-in, so islam is coming in more conditioned and bigger and even more hydrated

Haha I'm still riding the high from that Sean Strickland fight. I usually box one of my buddies in the backyard once a week, and after that I started copying Sean Strickland's style, and holy shit its been amazingly effective haha, still working on it, but its surprisingly effective and easy to emulate, I just keep my right hand a little higher and tighter than Sean does because I'm doing boxing.

Beautiful analysis

I'm an Aussie and a Volks fan (but I'm also a realist based on facts and not emotions), but I think he'll only win this via knockout, in the 1st 3 rounds. If it goes to 4-5th round, as good as Volks cardio is, I don't think he'll be ready. Other things that are against Volks are the jetlag, adapting to the heat/temperature in Abu Dhabi, a 11 day fight camp, recovering from his surgery and fight taking place in "enemy" territory. Pros for Islam are he's been in Abu Dhabi for over a month already, so zero jetlag or need to adapt to the temperature. He'll be fully hydrated this time and has had a full camp under Khabib's and Javier's watchful eye. He'll be in "home" territory. Islam will be motivated to not lose in front of this crowd. Islam won't allow this fight to go to the 4th or 5th round. Islam will try to finish Volks, by either knockout or submission as early as possible. My heart wants Volks to win, so we get the trilogy, but facts and data suggest Islam will have this fight in the bag.

Islam will be 4-5 pounds heavier this time. People do not realize how important it is.

Being heavier is not important at all, it will make you slower and less mobile on the ground, you lose flexibility with weight. Though it will add power to your striking I admit. Makhachev is no slouch but this time he will most likely get knocked out or dominated. Volk is a much better version of himself after what he learned in the first fight, Makhachev is the same or worse due to inactivity. The only question mark and the only hope for Makhachev is Volk’s gas tank.

Great stuff Dan ! A lot better then this other guys

So to sum up, compared to last time Islam has; - longer period since last fight - Better and longer fight camp, with Khabib - "Home turf" advantage - Shorter travel times - Longer acclimatisation and rehydration period. Volk, meanwhile has; - fought Yair at 145 3 months ago - had hand surgery 2 months ago - less time to correctly bulk up for 155, looks noticeably less athletic - at best, an 8 day fight camp And this is on top of Volk being the smaller fighter, and having lost last time. How the fighters, the UFC or anyone else trying to build this up as a competitive fight is beyond me.

Yeah, he made a good point. Islam needs to try out different submissions besides the arm triangle on Volk. Maybe do a leg lock when Volk is doing ground and pound standing up like last time. But again.. being short plays to his advantage too, let's not forget that.

Are you no longer doing these for TNT sports Dan?

Yeah same as dan, minimum 3 rounds to Islam and most probably 4

no need to be hater. Although I am picking Islam to win, at the same time I am a huge fan of both of these guys. They are inspirations for a lot of people: Makhachev achieving his coach Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov's dream, and Volkanovski saying "Challenges are only gonna make you stronger."

Something i've not seen anyone pick up on is Makhachev kept missed a lot his check right hook with his lead hand as Alex came in to striking distance within the pocket. It feels to me like that check right hook is something he's drilled so many times it's hard for Islam to train himself out of the habit, and may be a small detail but potentially a vital key in how Volk might get the better of him, because the height turned out to be an advantage for Volk a lot of times as he was slipping under that hook amongst other punches. If Islam incorporates uppercuts and counter knees then could be a different story. Having said all that, if Volk doesn't keep good head movement, bobbing weaving dipping as he's going forward into close range, Islam's got that nasty counter left straight that could drop Volk very easily. If Islam decides to counter with that crazy fast drop into a takedown, could frustrate and tire out Volk and maybe by the 3rd round Islam might finish him, maybe via submission. If Volk had a full training camp i don't think islam could submit him but now, i can see it happening. I hope Volk does incorporate more leg kicks like Dan said, give Islam more to think about and weaken Islam's stance and movement.

I dont see Volk getting caught in a triangle twice, or even once this time and that is what saved him for the most part

Wont ever trust you after what you thought Izzy was gonna do to Strickland

Respect for Alex for short notice, But, Nothing for Islam for preparing for some fighter and facing another. Nothing for Islam for facing fighter who has nothing to lose. Nothing for Islam for winning nothing if he wins, because someone like you will saying Short Notice.

Why doesn't Dan use video footage instead of images like other KZreadr analysts do? It would add so much value to what he is describing.

I think the short notice will get volk. I hope that after this forget fight a 3 time with both guys healthy and with full camp. Probably in a neutral place like Las Vegas

Lets go islam!

Dan ,.absolute respect for your breakdowns ...BUT ,..it scares me when you said "Islam didn't do quite enough for a 10-8 round in first round ",... FFS bro ,..please get it straight that a 10 -8 round is an absolute blitzing !!!!! not a ,..ohhh yeah he did ok round ... I believe this is an absolute problem in UFC right now ..

Islam looks like he’s had a good healthy (as can be) weight cut. He didn’t look anywhere near as depleted at the weigh ins as he usually does. I think that could play a big factor and we can see an Islam at full capability. Which is a scary thought. Love both of em so I’m happy whoever wins but just can’t see Islam not getting it done.

Nice Pacquiao mention

I’m taking volk. Every time he fought Holloway he adapted and beat max worse. I don’t think makhachev is going to change his game plan much from the first fight

The first two fights were both very close. He only clearly won the third fight.

Oh yeah!! Oh yeah!!! Veronica is back.

They should call this channel the truth Dan hardy

Islam is going to come in way more conditioned/recovered since he’s not dealing with the strenuous travel and time change. I think this could play a huge factor in the later rounds

We know Volk is incredible in rematches, all 3 Max fights he shows clear progression. Not sure how Islam or their camp (Khabib) handle rematches as nobody has ever warranted a rematch, because they won in such dominant fashions.

I highly doubt Volk was not only training hard but actually had a camp preparing himself to step into this fight if Olivera pulled out.

Nice analysis as always Dan! But I think everyone realizes that Chimaev vs Usman is the bigger fight, well at least the most awaited fight on this card.

XD Speak for yourself pal.

I feel like Volk will be a lot more confident for this one, and Islam will be less over confident than last time. So it should be another banger.

World Sambo Champ is hard to beat, I think he will win; but Volk is a powerhouse.

Dan!!!!!!

9:00 he didn't really land that shot, watch in slow motion different angle

Can we get a darkroom for chimaev-usman

What about IV use

Islam clearly won on his bad day. Hes gonna be dominant this time no doubt.
