Lucas, us Volk fans are indebted to you for your gracious contribution to his legacy. When his hand is raised Saturday night, we will have you to thank for such a momentous victory. 🙏🏽
Everyone say it at once. "VOLK TOOK THE FIGHT ON 10 DAYS NOTICE" lol. Get your excuses ready. Hopefully Volk doesn't promise #1PFP again. So we doesn't have to renege on his word again. I love Volk. Sucks seeing that side of a man I respect so much.
@@kevinmalone584I mean the last fight with volk and islam was won on the margin of 1 round, with 1 of the other 2 rounds being a very competitive round so the 4th round was the round that sealed islams 3rd round and won him the fight despite losing the 5th and I mean idk if you just don’t remember that fight or that round, but islam took the back with 3 and a half minutes and literally held on for dear life and buried his head in the back. I can’t fault the guy, even though volk arm was there for the taking or islam could have attempted getting around the neck of volk and getting a rnc, particularly with an armbar attack while the chance to finish was there it also led to the risk of volk getting out of that position and stealing the rest of the round and fight so while nobody can complain or cry about Islam choice to do that, it literally was him stalling. It’s easy for people to say well don’t get your back taken or if you do escape but with the fence where it was and islam burying his head behind the back of volk and holding on for dear life it is almost next to impossible even for the best defensive bjj guys caught in that to escape. Had they been in the open area it’s still incredibly hard but possible but the minute islam volk got his back taken off a split second lapse in judgement , and the minute islam secured that position and decided he wasn’t gonna risk it and instead would stall and bank the round the fight was sealed. Volk could have tied it up with a 10/8 in the 5th but a draw would have still saw volk fail at his attempt to win double champ and islam would have retained
I’d rather see them fight lose some than play the game and you fans say they’re the goat bc they never lost . Sure but you ain’t no goat with training a year for one fight avoiding obvious challenges like jj and fransis both did . I’d call usman and Izzy a goat before those two , fedor too . I’m glad gsp has the accolades but he was the first mma guy to navigate his greatness outside the ring as well .
Congratulations to Volk for becoming UFC's 5th two-division champ with a dominant and clinical performance against one of the best lightweight champions. I'm already excited for his first title defense against Charles Oliveira. 💪💯
@@bigsmall2842I blame the UFC for protecting Khamzat. Bo would absolutely manhandle him. Cannonier would destroy Khamzat. There were several MWs asking for that fight. The UFC gave him washed up Costa then used a WW coming off knee surgery as a replacement. Pathetic.
@@todayilearnedsomething8105 Bo Nickal is just another Derek brunson lol. Also if costa notified the ufc earlier cannonier could’ve been a reasonable replacement. 10 days is not enough time for that dude to cut weight.
Volk is gonna get humbled by Islam. The audacity for Volk to think he could beat the lightweight King Islam on short notice. Volk is gonna find out this Saturday that he ain’t that guy.
I might agree with you about getting KOd at 35, he’s quickly approaching a downward slope, but historically volk hasn’t taken a crazy amount of damage in his career due to how dominant he’s been in most fights, no? I think even if he loses, it won’t do anything to his legacy except raise his stock. Insofar that he was willing to take such a hard fight on such short notice. I also think it’s possible that he could get KOd by Makachev and still turn around and beat Topuria, easily.
I agree also the UFC rewards guys who agree to these type fights. Sean Strickland took 2 short notice fights and it got him a title shot. Volk will get everything he wants for his next 145 title fight, even more so than champ privilege. He could literally go to camp for 6 weeks then call and say tell Topouria he has to be ready on some date 5 weeks away.
@@pflges1117 Volk isn't like Paddy the Faddy tho. The guy's always training. Yeah, he doesn't have a full camp, but I think we'll all be surprised at Volk's endurance
Damn now we really don’t know who will win. Volk got the EA curse . Islam got the Lucas Tracy curse. 50-50 now I can’t guarantee volks loss. We will see which curse is stronger
I’m just really hoping for that Michael Bisping effect to kick in. That "fuck it, what do I have to lose?" Mentality that has gotten fighters like Alex wins before.
One reason Volk was fresh at the end of the last fight was that he conceded rounds to Makhachev rather than make the effort to get out of bad positions. Some people want the refs to just stand them up if there is no immediate sub attempt, but that punishes the fighter who worked hard for that dominant position and rewards/bails out the fighter who just shells up and does not work to get out of the position.
Again thank you for securing Volk's win Lucas, allowing him to become double champ and becoming a top 5 MMA Goat!! I owe you a beer buddy!! 🙏🙂 And *NEW* Undisputed LW champ!! Thank you Lucas 😌😇
As an Islam fan I’m SHOOK. Volk is so good and actually gives Islam a challenge unlike Charles. I hope Islam wins but I’m so nervous!! Either way I wouldn’t be mad with a double champ Volk! This fight is gonna be CRAZY
Why are you so sure that Volk is going to slow down? Yes he's taking it on short notice but he has some of the best cardio in the ufc, he will be fine.
iswear i didnt iknew its gonna be super hard fight for islam ..let me tell you this I'm 100 percent sure you were the many that said volk would get smashed in the first fight. so dont think other people think the same you didnt trust your boy volk so you thought ur just casual clown shu/t your as/s up @@Djangorechained12
I genuinely think lucas believes in the lucastracy curse. The way he is completely counting volk out, makes me feel like he is using the curse and as a volk fan i thank you 🙏
I want to add, this camp for Islam is ALSO under Khabib again!! So this camp is HARDER and under Direct supervision and input from his life long friend, coach, mentor. This camp is truely back to business as usual for him. With the support and input that he is used to. Just upsetting cause they STILL won't give Islam his flowers for this win. They will just say Volk came off the couch. It's not ever fair for Islam. Because he speaks broken English and the community at large just don't love him the way they do Volk. It's just the lovers of combat sports specifically like us that truely understand the Greatness that is Islam ad Khbib. Islam could be the first 3 division champion.
I agree with the main sentiment of Islam being an immensely dedicated and skilled fighter, but I don’t think I could see him going 3 divisions. Maybe 2, but he’d either have to drop weight which I feel detracts a good margin of his strength and energy, or move all the way to WW and MW. WW is competitive, but the guys at MW are just so much larger than him (especially considering some MWs could easily compete at LHW like we saw with Pereira).
3 division? are you just stupid? you do know volk is not putting his belt on the like becuse islam is not going to go down in weight? becuse he is already having hard time with lightweight, he could be 2 division but 3? you must be in a mental hospital. Islam is very good, and i could see him becoming 2 division champ, but never 3. if islam did go down to volks weight i would go all in on volk, but since its lightweight i do think islam will win this one also tko, hopefully volk proves me wrong but i wouldnt bet money on volk winning.
@@gabe4164 Fair.. I just wish their was some measurement we could put him next to to prove to the nay sayers. I guess just time. We will have to give him the next few years to dominate. That fight against VOLK was the FIRST 5 Round fight that Islam ever had. He did it arguably against one if not thee most complete fighter of our generation. He found a way to come out on top. 4 to 1 is the most complete measure of the fight, but even if we showed as much grace as we could to Volk it would be 3- 2. But no where can you see the Volk victory, yet here we are. That frustrates me.
I know how you feel, at this point the only thing that would satisfy me is islam becoming double champ. And it's not a matter of if he will, but rather when will he
You're awesome, man. You had a good childhood (got your basic needs met) and it shows. Your takes are tragic in that they're so deeply considered and well argued but ultimately don't pan out. Looking forward to watching you watch the PPVs. Later...
It's always funny when commentators say, "it wouldn't surprise me if [same thing that happened last fight] happens". Like, no shit it wouldn't surprise you, we just saw it! Or when they make a prediction but their prediction is just what happened last time.
Yeah when two guys have already fought each other it’s a no-brainier to predict the next fight being extremely similar. All first-time matchup predictions are kind of entirely speculative, but second matchups have entirely relevant first-hand data to base a prediction from. Despite some environmental and psychological variables that can and will have an effect, it’s almost completely illogical to me to predict anything different from this: another good competitive Islam victory over Volk (and if it was still Charles, another uncompetitive Islam domination). It should seem obvious that these are the most likely scenarios by far.
This is honestly one of the best prediction videos around. A fan of both. I had no idea it would be the beginning of the end for Volk and I couldnt even imagine him getting KOd
every time I completely doubt him he proves me completely wrong. this is another one of those times that I completely doubt him hopefully he proves me wrong again
if Volk had a 7 month champ to prepare for Islam in the first fight , and fought a dehydrated Islam and lost , I don't think he could beat him ever on a good day but he can still have a chance of a lucky punch and on the worst day for Alex his still better than most of lightweights
@@ArizonaHurley I shouldn't response to none sense argument , having a good moment in the last minute doesn't make you winner or that you beat your opponent , go watch the fight and get with you someone who is nit biased and understand MMA
@saif-almasry1017 I respectfully think you're wrong. In a real fight to the death, a situation like that to me suggests only 1 winner if they don't stop the fight.
@@ArizonaHurley but it's not a fight to the death it's a five rounds fight with rules also in a fight to the death Islam will not go to weight cut he will be on full power , but it's an MMA fight with limited time and rules
@@splurt69 And? He could've won the last one and he's only gotten better since. And most importantly Lucas said he's loosing which means he's gonna win.
There is just one way for Alex to win; true in their first fight and even more true today: a powerful TKO (stopped as a KO... hurting Islam badly, by dropping him, worse than that knock-down he delivered to Islam, last time, in the last minute of the 5th and then going down to finishing him off on the ground; but this MUST happen in the early rounds, 1st or 2nd, when he's still fresh and strong). Other than that, people will see one of two things, very dominantly exhibited by Islam: a striking that is even more elite than last time and/or a clinch-approach/chain wrestling that is even more stifling than last time. Alex has already transitioned into his twilight prime. At most, he has 2-3 really good fights left. At 145, that is. As things stand, he EXTREMELY likely will lose to Islam and then he will go on to lose to the peaking Ilia, too, early 2024. That's just how things go in this sport, where when skills being equal, you move on to other assets: youth, fast twitching muscles, speed, agility, etc. Ditto for Jon Jones. If Jones fights a few more, with Tom and Sergei arriving on main stage, Jones chances of being beaten by one of those two are extremely high, too, as exceptionally as he has been the last 10 years. Sergei and Tom are just younger, faster, and more powerful. Tom is good all over, too, with boxing, wrestling and BJJ being his best assets. Sergei may not be an elite wrestler or BJJ guy, but when that guy bites down on his mouth piece, it's either him or you and because he's such a physically strong and fast, peaking, it's likely you who'd go down... Jones knows that, too; and that's why he's retiring after this up coming fight with senior citizen Stipe. And Khamzat likely will just man handled the elderly, bad kneed Usman like another guy, now that Usman clearly has one foot out the door (into retirement, that's why he's doing this hail mary fight: fighting the most dangerous guy, to allow him another shot at the belt, at 170 or 185, he has been saying for half a year now. And this hail mary hope of his is at 185, against a peaking, bigger, faster, stronger, and hungrier Khamzat)... Again, it's how the sport is... You either retire at the very top, a spot you've just gotten to; or you will be defeated, if you fight long enough --- regardless who you are ---- as the great Khabib says...
There is a huge difference between Volk and Jones in terms of honor. Volk WANTS to fight the best, Jones ONLY wants the win. Can anybody honestly say that the Jones/Gane fight didn't at least appear to be fixed? ruclips.net/video/W93ckLg1gik/видео.html Just trying to spread a little awareness so the UFC and judges start trending away from corruption, as it stands they are not looking good and it is ruining the fun.

This is honestly one of the best prediction videos around. A fan of both. I had no idea it would be the beginning of the end for Volk and I couldnt even imagine him getting KOd
So many Volkanovski stans in the comments😂
I dont see volk being finished by ko. And i def dont see him tapping
Have you ever tried to take down a trained fighter smaller than you yet similar strength? Its alot harder than taking a bigger person down
That 5th round will be achieved earlier in this fight
Congrats to Alexander "The Great" Volkanovski on becoming a two-division champ!
😂
That's rough🤣🤣
Theory he knows about this curse that’s why he’s making all these videos because he wants Volk to win
Volk is truly and MMA/sports superhero
every time I completely doubt him he proves me completely wrong. this is another one of those times that I completely doubt him hopefully he proves me wrong again

Hey, I remember you on ufc veteran
I was on the fence but after seeing you picked Islam my money’s on Volk. Can’t go against the curse.
if Volk had a 7 month champ to prepare for Islam in the first fight , and fought a dehydrated Islam and lost , I don't think he could beat him ever on a good day
but he can still have a chance of a lucky punch and on the worst day for Alex his still better than most of lightweights
Lucky punch? Be beat Islam senseless in the last round of the previous fight, Islam thought he was on vacation in the burj al Arab when he woke up 😅
@@ArizonaHurley I shouldn't response to none sense argument , having a good moment in the last minute doesn't make you winner or that you beat your opponent , go watch the fight and get with you someone who is nit biased and understand MMA
@saif-almasry1017 I respectfully think you're wrong. In a real fight to the death, a situation like that to me suggests only 1 winner if they don't stop the fight.
@@ArizonaHurley but it's not a fight to the death it's a five rounds fight with rules also in a fight to the death Islam will not go to weight cut he will be on full power , but it's an MMA fight with limited time and rules
You could be right but you also must remember that the experience of the 1st fight could help volk in his 2nd fight.
very good prediction he knocked him out in round 1
Fuck yes, Volk is double champ baby!
he lost wdym
@@splurt69 And? He could've won the last one and he's only gotten better since.
And most importantly Lucas said he's loosing which means he's gonna win.
Bro HOW DID YOU KNOW?!
There is just one way for Alex to win; true in their first fight and even more true today: a powerful TKO (stopped as a KO... hurting Islam badly, by dropping him, worse than that knock-down he delivered to Islam, last time, in the last minute of the 5th and then going down to finishing him off on the ground; but this MUST happen in the early rounds, 1st or 2nd, when he's still fresh and strong).
Other than that, people will see one of two things, very dominantly exhibited by Islam: a striking that is even more elite than last time and/or a clinch-approach/chain wrestling that is even more stifling than last time.
Alex has already transitioned into his twilight prime. At most, he has 2-3 really good fights left. At 145, that is.
As things stand, he EXTREMELY likely will lose to Islam and then he will go on to lose to the peaking Ilia, too, early 2024.
That's just how things go in this sport, where when skills being equal, you move on to other assets: youth, fast twitching muscles, speed, agility, etc.
Ditto for Jon Jones.
If Jones fights a few more, with Tom and Sergei arriving on main stage, Jones chances of being beaten by one of those two are extremely high, too, as exceptionally as he has been the last 10 years. Sergei and Tom are just younger, faster, and more powerful. Tom is good all over, too, with boxing, wrestling and BJJ being his best assets. Sergei may not be an elite wrestler or BJJ guy, but when that guy bites down on his mouth piece, it's either him or you and because he's such a physically strong and fast, peaking, it's likely you who'd go down...
Jones knows that, too; and that's why he's retiring after this up coming fight with senior citizen Stipe.
And Khamzat likely will just man handled the elderly, bad kneed Usman like another guy, now that Usman clearly has one foot out the door (into retirement, that's why he's doing this hail mary fight: fighting the most dangerous guy, to allow him another shot at the belt, at 170 or 185, he has been saying for half a year now. And this hail mary hope of his is at 185, against a peaking, bigger, faster, stronger, and hungrier Khamzat)...
Again, it's how the sport is... You either retire at the very top, a spot you've just gotten to; or you will be defeated, if you fight long enough --- regardless who you are ---- as the great Khabib says...
Lol, dork.
Nothing of this Will happen
Islam by rigged ArabTown dessison
Not reading allat 😂
There is a huge difference between Volk and Jones in terms of honor. Volk WANTS to fight the best, Jones ONLY wants the win. Can anybody honestly say that the Jones/Gane fight didn't at least appear to be fixed? ruclips.net/video/W93ckLg1gik/видео.html
Just trying to spread a little awareness so the UFC and judges start trending away from corruption, as it stands they are not looking good and it is ruining the fun.
Damn, was hoping Volk would win, this is awesome news! I kind of figure it's 2023, Volk AND Usman win.
Lucas you need to make the bannana peel video. I'm telling you. Its the only curse that might counter the EA curse
Lucas picking Makhachev just to avoid his curse on Volkanovski. Actually, he is trying to make Volkanovski win through his RUclips Vodoo 😂😂😂
Disrespect volk u will eat yr words
this guy gets all his predictions wrong lol
Lucas thank you for sealing the deal for me to bet the deed to my house on volk winning by vicious knockout.
Lucas i unsubscribed from your channel after the first volk fight. Seeing you correct your opinions and re-evaluating the fight is very mature, resubbed!
