I sure hope you get a finish, but Yair is an athletic "cheater" that is seemingly impossible to get out of there. So I think it's gonna be a decision with you mostly dominating him
I'm just saying Makhachev figured volk out considering he retained his lightweight championship belt after they fought. And I don't care who it is there's always that one who will always figure you.
I can see him getting knocked out, I think he was dropped by Holloway, mendes and makachev. Longshot but possible. Losing a decision at FW seems impossible for him right now
@@Superman_305 surviving the latter rounds isn’t figuring him out, he managed to scrape past the unfortunate weight cutting conditions and controlled volk well with the striking and wrestling
Get ready to defend Yair’s fast kick/knee attacks. Check, dodge or block. And then outpace and out-strike. Volk you’re a hero 100% support from Australia
Such a great guy and great champion. I hope to train with you someday. Good luck my brother, keep carrying the torch for us vertically challenged guys!!
Why are Australians always fuckin hilarious too. Love Aussies and Kiwis. Met a lot while I was stationed in Europe as an American. 0 negative interactions with them
We got sent here as convicts.. from the shitty, grim life of the UK to one of the most amazing paradise lands on earth... our culture began with us laughing about that, and continued from there! 😂
After you beat Rodriguez I want to hear something like this on the mic "Islam Makhachev, I haven't heard a peep from you since I pounded your head through the canvas, where you at?"
@@SWEQQA23 Salty that the 'small guy with no wrestling' who the UFC PI have cleared to safely make 135lbs smashed your boy Islam who does a huge weight cut to make 155lbs? Khabib predicted a 1st or 2nd round finish for Islam, yet he was holding on for dear life with that embarrassing performance. Volk outstruck him in 4 out of 5 rounds and almost 10-8'd him in the 5th, a pretty clear win for him within the 10-point-must system, and an undoubtable win for him under more realistic scoring systems like in Pride/One FC
@@jamesthompson9003 it's okay don't be sad, when volk is back on a winning streak maybe islam will give him a chance at the title again, islam is a very nice guy
Yair is very good tho if Alex rushes he might get clipped, yair is too to get finished in 1. Although his ground game looked very passive against jolloway tho so idk...
Honestly just praying you do some wack out of beat shit like Yair does to leave him on the canvas cold. You know beat him at his own game would be sick
Keep getting your skill sets to elite levels and training with the best. That little Dagestani grappling fuck has no clue what he's gonna face next fight. LESSSS GOOOO
With no disrespect to Yair, the only way i think he wins is if he catches volk with something but other than that it's a routine title defense for bald Volk
yair is good maybe even great but i don’t think he or anyone at 145 has anything for volk and i can’t say that more confidently about any other fighter in the UFC.
@@Moronoxy Frankie did quite well in restricting Yairs active guard by having him against the fence. Zombie did really well in his fight with Yair up until the finish by constantly putting Yair on the backfoot with pressure boxing and restricting his kicking ability. Max kind of combined these two approaches as well as adding a lot of pushing while Yair was on one foot for easy takedowns.
@@rejectmodernity1037 and Volk is all around better than every single one of the guys that managed to find and exploit his weaknesses so I still like his chances
How do I get it done at UFC 290?

4th round ground and pound TKO

Thanks bud I’ll look into him I’ve heard of him never really seen him roll though
@@samclaxton8491 Craig jones being second best is just a running joke in the bjj community. It has nothing to do with Gordon ryan

So cool to seeing an elite level martial artist switch sports and teach someone like Craig some things.
Nice bait
Edie Bravo is way better than Craig Jones. Edie Bravo is at the highest level, while Craig Jones is at the bottom
Always love Craig Jones. Analysing a guy and translating it well into his coaching. Awesome stuff ❤️
Yeah it's neat to hear him analyzing like this after watching so many videos of him joking around

I like how it started and ended on the same quote “show you why I’m the best featherweight in the world” don’t let them forget 💪
I would feel bad if i was yair about how craig dissected his whole style on the ground. Clean camp

I love how Volk talks about UFC coming to Sydney and says, "I feel like I was kind of a part of it". One of the GOAT's but still so humble haha
Funny seeing Craig be serious for once.
freaking cool, kinda refreshing!
Joe Lopez and Craig Jones is the Second Greatest Love Story ever told.

After you beat Rodriguez I want to hear something like this on the mic "Islam Makhachev, I haven't heard a peep from you since I pounded your head through the canvas, where you at?"
I loved that 👀
That would be something 👴
IF he beats Yair Rodriguez. Stop counting out Yair you casual bum. This will be Volks hardest fight yet

Crazy how strong must be for his size. Beast

Thanks volk. Perth is so hard and expensive. Couldn't even tix. I've pre booked accom hope I can get tix for sept

Being truely humble is a sign of a Goat.

Dont worry we didnt forget about you here in the US your a champ alexander the great volk the volk the goat
Volk! Huge fan here since the Islam fight, you're a great guy and a fighter. All the best!
Editor is on point for that epic intro
Volk and Jonesy are a mad combination.
Volk and Craig jones is the same as when Goku and Vegeta combined in DBZ!
damn the intro pretty cool, good editor(s)
There's so much noise in the background while Craig's speaking
Best all-round fighter in the UFC. N busy champ.
Love this team!!
"on the piss" Volk is my favorite foodie
Hahaha I love Joe bagging out Craig. So funny
King!
Volk you’re an inspiration in and out of the cage 💪🏽 can’t wait to see you defend your title then rip Islam in Abu Dhabi.
By losing 4 rounds to him again?

Love your work champ ❤
THE LEGEND OF CRAIG JONES!
The champ is ready!!!
Here before Gordon Ryan throws a fit on his Instagram story because of the thumbnail 😂😂😂
wait since when was yair a feared grappler, i thought he was known for his dangerous striking
They are analyzing his grappling cause they are clearly planning on taking him down a lot in this fight.
tbf, he won the interim title via submission (although it was after kicking the shit out of his opponent)
Joe Lopez is hilarious 😂
that intro was fuckin sick🔥💯💯
Im a lover not a fighter but I know enough to stay out of the way Yair's head kicks. God Bless Volk
Ayyyy it’s time for the dog to strike again
Alex you are legend .you gonna crush Rodriguez .
Volkanovski is a heavyweight fighting at featherweight lol
Damn what an intro!
Volk you better take him down and submit him in 1 round make a statement bro
Yair is very good tho if Alex rushes he might get clipped, yair is too to get finished in 1. Although his ground game looked very passive against jolloway tho so idk...
volk is too high IQ to fall into yairs unpredictable ground game
VOLKS THE LEGEND! PERIOD.
volkagoatskiiiii
You are best volkanovski
P4P CHAMP!!!!
Fav❤❤❤ all time the Great volk❤
Greatest 🐐 THE MAN VOLKANOVSKI 🖤
The new updated Dillon Danis sounds good
Let's go Volk 🔥
One and only The Great
i cant take craig seruiysly, i kept waiting for him to make a joke
Didn’t realize Tony Walsh was Volks coach 😂
Craig is the 2nd best Jones in combat sports
My man
Craig needs Paulo Acostas secret Juice
Feel like I’ve watched this before
not enough training yet for ufc 290 it's going to be tough this fight for volk if hes not careful
The Greaaaaaaaaaaaatttt
Hear me out... a reboot of Rush Hour but with Craig Jones and Joe Lopez.
The sound was a little of in this vid.
I guess you higher the B team when Gordon Ryan is too busy
Pause at 2:08 Volk's facial expression 💀😂
It’s called training
Volk the goat
49-46 Volk Yair has some good minutes throughout but Volk gets him down a couple rounds and controls him while the striking will be back and forth
World's 2nd best grappler*
0:38 with due respect to CJ....does he compete in gi tournaments or preferes no gi colored shorts 🤔
Sambo have jacket and short too
from bjj standpoint, what's the toughest part about going against Craig's game?
Leg locks
Everything
Leg locks and he has a very unorthodox style of grappling
If you're world class? LegLocks
If you're NOT world class? Everything
Volk must be paying Craig a pretty little penny.
I feel like Volk vs Rodriguez is as big of a mismatch as Volk vs Korean Zombie
Craig is the man !!!!
Win this and set up that rematch with Islam! Let's go!
Shouldve asked him how to get out of the backpack 🎒position 😁
Should ask islam how to finish a choke

You mean the SECOND best grappler I’m the world. It ain’t A team jiu jitsu.
Apparently Gordon Ryan had Visa issues and couldn't get to camp, Craig will do tho
Second place in MMA is ok, Right? Is there a silver belt? O yea the BMF... Craig Jones is BJJ'S BMF!
Nah he had a nasty yeast infection
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
makhachev is the scariest guy volk has ever fought... let's go again!
Islam not scary, without beard,he is handsome guy,watch his past fights or pictures before 2020 before he keep less beard
With no disrespect to Yair, the only way i think he wins is if he catches volk with something but other than that it's a routine title defense for bald Volk
Craig Jones could not beat the King Gordan on Crag's best day and Gordan's worst.
Sir Alexander volkanovski make Islam look human🤣🤣🤣
Ypure fighting Yair, why train any grappling
yair is good maybe even great but i don’t think he or anyone at 145 has anything for volk and i can’t say that more confidently about any other fighter in the UFC.
