Khabib is a fake person who didn’t want to see his brother succeed and take the P4P #1. After talking all that shit post Oliveira fight for him not to show up? Yeah something doesn’t add up. It’s like he was trying to set up Islam. Sad.
I haven't seen 2 fighters be so humble and have so much respect for eachother after a fight in a long time. This is truly what people need to be like for the sport to be respected.
Uhg another khabib casual. I know you barely watch fighting unless it’s a big fight but don’t say somthing so stupid like that. There is much respect in this sport and NOT hard to come by you just don’t watch
Him and khabib are the best in the sport and they respect everyone except when someone disrespects their family or their religion. They are humble as hell and khabib is like way smart beyond his age
Not innocently bro he wants to trash talks but cause of his weak English he can't. Like just look at his interview right after the fight he was calling the fight an easy fight when he looked like he got jumped by 4 men 😆
My heart was really broken when Khabib retired, he was such a great representative of the sport, but man it’s relieving to see the sport in such good hands moving forward
Same like what khabib late father did to khabib..after khabib fight he will rewatches that fight then ask his father about what mistake he did and fix it and prepare for next fight coming..so khabib did the same thing to help islam

One thing I have learned about Khabib is not only id he incredibly dedicated to training, but I also like how he seems humble when talking most if not all the time.
Islam was 100 percent that fight no one on the sidelines is gonna help you win the fight at the end of the day and in that stadium id be pretty hard to hear anyone talk
Khabib telling Islam to come back and work on the mistakes is just sooo damn wholesome, because that's what Khabib's father said to him after the Conor fight. Now the cycle continues..............AbdulManap Nurmagomedov STILL LIVES ❤️
See the mentality . Mashallah.. Even after winning he is talking about mistake... You can't a guy like him.. Who is always trys to get better and better
Khabib’s fight IQ would have made a ton of difference. I bet if Islam fights Charles now, he would do so many mistakes cause he doesn’t have assistance of Khabib anymore to tell what to do on every step! It’s like he doesn’t need to think and put all his focus and energy on obeying to complete the task!! But someday Islam has to be independent..
Dude fought the exact same. This time he fought someone who set up their entrys (what Charles didn’t do) and had tremendous grappling defense (what Hooker/Green didn’t have)
@@mmafuturist yeah but he could do things differently, Khabib could have instruct him to ground and pound some instead of just laying on the floor. Islam fight IQ is not that good
Khabib is a hell of a coach. He wants Islam to shine alone 😔. He don't want his wrestling brother attention it's his time. Khabib is pushing the baby out the nest. You can fly on your own is what Khabib is showing him.
I think he's psychologically conditioning him to be able to move like he's got what they don't so when they lose or win they can fight and push what they don't have. I'm just talking nonsense because you people try to look deep into the obvious. It's like "Islam's eyes are working, if they didn't work he'd be blind, he would not be able to see, I know because I have the insight."
@miguelrosa9606 he don't want Islam to go through what he did. You're right about his father but the difference is Khabib don't want Islam to suffer if something was to happen to him. So his pouring into Islam everything he got to prepare him for success and being independent of a coach because Islam is that good he could be a coach. Khabib felt lost without his father to the point he quit you see what I'm saying..
@@Poots413 what? I'm not sure what you're trying to say but khabib was grieving when he lost his father it's not even in the same universe as not having khabib in Islam's corner. Have you lost a parent?
@miguelrosa9606 Khabib lost his father and coach at the same time. That's hard on the toughest to walk this earth. He lost his guidance 😔 🙏. You will see Khabib will start showing up less because he don't want Islam to depend on him .
Him and volk decsion has nothing to do with not likeing him has to do with who desevered to win the fight everyone henry jo le rogan etc allllll EVERYONE knows Alexander is champ champ hahahha
Brother i love Islam, Khabib and Alex too u r legends brother, win or loose brother what a beautiful friendship and brotherhood they share, i love this , more life to them, people need to understand something is more beautifull than legacy, look how he respects Khabib even after loss, Respect brothers from heart.. From India
I wish khabib would have been there but i respect the decision & the purpose of his choice. Islam is strong on his own & he proved that to himself lastnight.
Dude Islam looked so different even on the walkout without Khabib. You could tell mentally it made a difference to him. These guys have been together for every single fight since day one.
@@nistic5723 lmaoo dude thats his mentor & coach along with Khabib’s dad. You don’t think Khabib fighting without Abdulmanap mentally made a difference to him. Despite him being able to still win. Nobody’s making it an excuse. But I guarantee Islam would put on a better performance w Khabib there. He’s been in that position before, offers wisdom in things maybe Islam can’t see. That’s the point of having coaches
Helluva fight , this man showed he can win with strikes and not just ground game , he is one solid fighter, volk is just out of this world as well 2 very well matched competitors can't get better than what these 2 warriors put out for the world to see
I definitely thought Islam won the fight.. but it was so close. I was surprised at how well his stand up game was against Volkanovski, and even more surprised at how good Volkanovskis take down defense was.. it was such a good fight and so evenly matched.
Yep...good appraisal...as an Aussie I spewed Volk didn't get the chocolates but he did get the respect he deserved...some recently have got the W but lost all respect...Aussies are almost always underdogs and even if they're not, they feel that way...and they feed on it...there's lots more in store for Volk
Khabib fought his last fight without father in his corner so he wanted Islam to go through the same experience.. I’m sure it helped him become bigger than he already is .. Subhanallah
nice win for him, I thought he would have grappled more. It seemed like he really wanted to show the world he could strike with arguably one of the best strikers in mma history. and he showed it but cost him a few bruises. But he got the belt and might be p4p now depending on the magicians at the ranking kingdom.
Lol he got fucked up, just like Gilbert fucked up Chimaev. If religion weren't a trillion dollar industry these guys wouldn't have this opportunity. It makes sense for the business plain and simple. Just like paddy the baddy winning a bad decision is good for the sport. Politics
Lmao magicians at ranking kingdom. Yeah I don't know what he has done to be number 2. The pfp rankings make no sense. Like why should leon be there for head kicking usman? Don't get wrong I was hype, but koing someone after losing a whole fight shouldnt exactly put you on the pfp rankings. Islam's opponents before Charles weren't the strongest in the division imo. Bobby Green, Dan hooker on short notice, drew dober is a good win, Thiago Moises, David Ramos isn't a bad win, etc. Great guys but not the top of the pack. Not as impressive as usmans run imo. And I am a certified usman hater. I still think you gotta give usman at least number 2
@@Sssseeeeyyyba.7452 idk really? Just because he's not a finisher like anderson or izzy doesn't make his striking any less commendable. He was able to neutralize Holloway in multiple ways across 3 different fights. I mean the second was controversial but still the fact that he brought it so close and adapted after max brought new tactics and rocked him is another testament to his striking ability. He also KOd Korean zombie who has stone hands, beat the hell outta Ortega, same with jose freakin aldo, kod full camp Mendez like cmon. At least for featherweight he's gotta be the greatest striker of all time. Which makes him ONE OF the greatest strikers of all time
Bit rich coming from khabib saying sometimes you need this experience. Who’s never been in a bad situation in a fight but I guess it’s an encouragement from him. ❤️
Khabib is crucial to Islam in his fights. He needs him for the support but most importantly, he needs him for the breakdown between the rounds. They can have the best gameplan but Islam needs someone with khabib's xp to improvise and mentor him when things go outside the gameplan.
Islam is a savage even though Alex was alot smaller he is still one of the best fighters in the world... volk put up a really good fight I have to watch it again
Goddamnit no matter what you gotta love the dynamic Islam and Khabib have. They had so much respect for each other and they don’t bullshit. They just say what happened and what they need to do to fix it.
Not easy to stay without a person you spent your entire life with and still stay on your complete senses and behaving normal..... I know it coz I have a Childhood freind for 30 years!
In case some are wonder what Khabib meant by “I've become old now”, is that he got so stressed out watching Islam's fight that he feels it physically aged him. 😁 Brothers 4 life.
It’s incredible the respect they have for each other and love. Now is Khabib is in your corner telling you what to do during the fight in a different language is a huge advantage and I would take that any day
It's actually a good thing that Khabib wasn't there. Risky, but overall he can't expect to have Khabib by his side every time. Good experience to teach him how to fight without Khabib in his corner.
Huge props go to Islam Ramazanovich Makhachev! He went from mountains of Dagestan, Russia, to the very top of the UFC. Many people kept saying he had not fought anyone in the top 5, but that was because everyone kept ducking him! When he finally got a chance to fight for the Lightweight title against Oliveira (who has the most submissions in the UFC), Islam submits him to become Champ. Next, Islam beats P4P King in his backyard with Volkanovski! This win earned Islam his Champ Champ status, as well as his title of the new P4P best fighter in the world! I am so proud and happy for him! The Baby Eagle is now soaring as high as The Eagle, Khabib Abdulmanapovich Nurmagomedov! 🦅🦅🏆🏆
Islam is a bad mofo and yes almost positive he's the current p4p fighter BUT.... He's doesn't have the champ champ status yet. If he would've fought at Volks weight and beat him he would be but alas, he didn't.
@@coltenn8785 To you it is not serious, but for Islam, he trained his whole life to become the P4P best fighter in the world. This means so much for him, Khabib, his teammates, and for his true fans! We appreciate Islam's super impressive achievement to become P4P best fighter in the world, even if you don't! Way to go Islam! You made everyone that supports you very proud!
@@Thawhid Hell no! I am going to celebrate and appreciate what Islam accomplished! Stop being salty. I am sure Alex will be ok in Featherweight division, but Islam was just too much for him!
in that first fight you could tell anxiety or something was holding islam back, and then he says it would be easier with khabib proves that, islam has the skill hopefully this works his mental out its better to not rely on khabib
Khabib didnt fight volk lol. Even tho he would have beat volks ass, its not fair to compare. Volk is a more tough opponent than anyone khabib ever faced
I like Islam for his bravado of not trying take downs from the first go and really test his own standup and also his wish to move to upper weight class and try his skills there something that was missing in khabib's legacy run.
N I was totally Impressed With Alex ground game., Made Islam look 👀 normal the best in the game n the champ who everyone feared n though was gonna be dominant n finish Alex in few minutes in the 1st round.., And Alex moved up weight to fight the monster Islam strong guy.,, Alex had a lot of difficulty n more challenges but he made it look so normal n easy.,, Islam won the belt respect 🫡 N Alex won people’s heart ❤️
@@mustipunyaemail I disagree. Islam is a weight bully, he's defended his title once, he's fought 1 fighter in the top 10, right? And the #1 P4P who fights at FW. While Volk has cleared out a division, went up to give a weight bully who everyone thought he had no chance against an extremely close fight. P4P Volk is 100% #1.

I really do think if khabib was there Islam would have fought alot differently but volk also just did an amazing job period
Khabib’s fight IQ would have made a ton of difference. I bet if Islam fights Charles now, he would do so many mistakes cause he doesn’t have assistance of Khabib anymore to tell what to do on every step! It’s like he doesn’t need to think and put all his focus and energy on obeying to complete the task!! But someday Islam has to be independent..
Dude fought the exact same. This time he fought someone who set up their entrys (what Charles didn’t do) and had tremendous grappling defense (what Hooker/Green didn’t have)
Yeah he needs khabib coaching him through this
@@mmafuturist yeah but he could do things differently, Khabib could have instruct him to ground and pound some instead of just laying on the floor. Islam fight IQ is not that good
Unfortunately volk lost
After the phone call its said Khabib went out into the woods the same night to find the bear
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 bear was like ayo chill bro i swear i had nothing to do with this
And khabib said: relax brather its for islam
Hhhhhh the best comment ever 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣
Bruh that Bear was the best part of their development arc hahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow he's humble he has my respect
Family is everything especially when they want you to do well.
Khabib is a hell of a coach. He wants Islam to shine alone 😔. He don't want his wrestling brother attention it's his time. Khabib is pushing the baby out the nest. You can fly on your own is what Khabib is showing him.
I think he's psychologically conditioning him to be able to move like he's got what they don't so when they lose or win they can fight and push what they don't have.
I'm just talking nonsense because you people try to look deep into the obvious. It's like "Islam's eyes are working, if they didn't work he'd be blind, he would not be able to see, I know because I have the insight."
@miguelrosa9606 he don't want Islam to go through what he did. You're right about his father but the difference is Khabib don't want Islam to suffer if something was to happen to him. So his pouring into Islam everything he got to prepare him for success and being independent of a coach because Islam is that good he could be a coach. Khabib felt lost without his father to the point he quit you see what I'm saying..
@@Poots413 losing your coaching father and not having just your coach are two very different things.
@@Poots413 what? I'm not sure what you're trying to say but khabib was grieving when he lost his father it's not even in the same universe as not having khabib in Islam's corner. Have you lost a parent?
@miguelrosa9606 Khabib lost his father and coach at the same time. That's hard on the toughest to walk this earth. He lost his guidance 😔 🙏. You will see Khabib will start showing up less because he don't want Islam to depend on him .
So humble, can you not like this guy?
Him and volk decsion has nothing to do with not likeing him has to do with who desevered to win the fight everyone henry jo le rogan etc allllll EVERYONE knows Alexander is champ champ hahahha
Good job volk Congrats on the win .
@@billybob9269 Rogan is biased!! He said a lot of sht before. Most fighters and analysts scored it 3-2 for islam
Man I love these two guys. So inspiring
Brother i love Islam, Khabib and Alex too u r legends brother, win or loose brother what a beautiful friendship and brotherhood they share, i love this , more life to them, people need to understand something is more beautifull than legacy, look how he respects Khabib even after loss, Respect brothers from heart.. From India
Khabib was truly something special
I wish khabib would have been there but i respect the decision & the purpose of his choice. Islam is strong on his own & he proved that to himself lastnight.
I love how Islam smiles even tho his face literally got smashed in. Dude is always smiling even when Conor was about to fight khabib 😭 love this guy
What a prime example of a world class fighter
Fake champ
@@knifedreamer mcchicken tapstar fanboy?
Don’t ever change CHAMP!!!! You are very humble, but the BEST there is. Congratulations on your success!much ❤ to you and your team.
Kudos to both fighters this was most definitely the fight of the century after Khabibs and Connors
That khabib and Connor fight was insane, I've never seen a world class fighter just get absolutely dominated like how Connor was
Dude Islam looked so different even on the walkout without Khabib. You could tell mentally it made a difference to him. These guys have been together for every single fight since day one.
Sound mentally weak effecting your performance because 1 person wasnt there.
Nigga he won
@@nistic5723 lmaoo dude thats his mentor & coach along with Khabib’s dad. You don’t think Khabib fighting without Abdulmanap mentally made a difference to him. Despite him being able to still win. Nobody’s making it an excuse. But I guarantee Islam would put on a better performance w Khabib there. He’s been in that position before, offers wisdom in things maybe Islam can’t see. That’s the point of having coaches
He needs to not just feel confident when khabib is there, u can tell he needed khabib there mentally
Yes...tell the champion what he needs
His coach was Khabibs dad he was basically his dad what are you even talking about him and khabib are connected
Yeah cuz he lost that fight😂
Of course. It’s like playing Basketball and having Michael Jordan on your side. You’d feel much more better when you have a legend by your side.
He did. Idk why Khabib did that.
When you Allah the almighty is with you no one can harm. Alhamdullilah they are both blessed by Allah the almighty
This is so true that's why now he's literally improved af
Helluva fight , this man showed he can win with strikes and not just ground game , he is one solid fighter, volk is just out of this world as well 2 very well matched competitors can't get better than what these 2 warriors put out for the world to see
Over 20 years they trained together, ate together. At this point the relationship between these two is just like two blood brothers
HABIB & ISLAM BOTH ARE MATCHLESS IN THEIR SKILLS. MASHA ALLAH
I suppose this mean our guy is back in the coaching game...
Maybe just for Islam
Khabib was never out of coaching game bro
He is always involved for Islam
Habib adalah sebuah kekuatan mental buat Islam 🙏🙏👋👋👋
Ya betul..islam nampak nervous bila wrapped hands sblm lawan
I personally love this guy.
He really worked well on his mistakes. iykyk
Love this dude!
I definitely thought Islam won the fight.. but it was so close.
I was surprised at how well his stand up game was against Volkanovski, and even more surprised at how good Volkanovskis take down defense was..
it was such a good fight and so evenly matched.
Yep...good appraisal...as an Aussie I spewed Volk didn't get the chocolates but he did get the respect he deserved...some recently have got the W but lost all respect...Aussies are almost always underdogs and even if they're not, they feel that way...and they feed on it...there's lots more in store for Volk
@@desiolle2874 I have a new respect for Aussies after Volk and Bluey cuz of my kid lol
@@jebril we'll take it!...my boy's got a real Bluey...it's fucking crazy but pretty awesome too...sensitive breeds they are
Khabib fought his last fight without father in his corner so he wanted Islam to go through the same experience.. I’m sure it helped him become bigger than he already is .. Subhanallah
Islam is the epitome of a real warrior. He's insanely strong but humble at the same time. To top it all, he never forget the people.
nice win for him, I thought he would have grappled more. It seemed like he really wanted to show the world he could strike with arguably one of the best strikers in mma history. and he showed it but cost him a few bruises. But he got the belt and might be p4p now depending on the magicians at the ranking kingdom.
Lol he got fucked up, just like Gilbert fucked up Chimaev. If religion weren't a trillion dollar industry these guys wouldn't have this opportunity. It makes sense for the business plain and simple. Just like paddy the baddy winning a bad decision is good for the sport. Politics
Lmao magicians at ranking kingdom. Yeah I don't know what he has done to be number 2. The pfp rankings make no sense. Like why should leon be there for head kicking usman? Don't get wrong I was hype, but koing someone after losing a whole fight shouldnt exactly put you on the pfp rankings.
Islam's opponents before Charles weren't the strongest in the division imo. Bobby Green, Dan hooker on short notice, drew dober is a good win, Thiago Moises, David Ramos isn't a bad win, etc. Great guys but not the top of the pack. Not as impressive as usmans run imo. And I am a certified usman hater. I still think you gotta give usman at least number 2
He didn’t grapple more because volk was stuffing his takedowns bro did u even watch the fight?
@@Sssseeeeyyyba.7452 idk really? Just because he's not a finisher like anderson or izzy doesn't make his striking any less commendable. He was able to neutralize Holloway in multiple ways across 3 different fights. I mean the second was controversial but still the fact that he brought it so close and adapted after max brought new tactics and rocked him is another testament to his striking ability. He also KOd Korean zombie who has stone hands, beat the hell outta Ortega, same with jose freakin aldo, kod full camp Mendez like cmon. At least for featherweight he's gotta be the greatest striker of all time. Which makes him ONE OF the greatest strikers of all time
@@jondowng207 no he didn't go for it alot of times, also he pretty much took him down successfully but couldn't finish him.
Bit rich coming from khabib saying sometimes you need this experience. Who’s never been in a bad situation in a fight but I guess it’s an encouragement from him. ❤️
Khabib is crucial to Islam in his fights. He needs him for the support but most importantly, he needs him for the breakdown between the rounds. They can have the best gameplan but Islam needs someone with khabib's xp to improvise and mentor him when things go outside the gameplan.
Islam is so humble you can tell it's really hard for him to shit talk during fight week, it goes against everything he's been raised to be!
The fuck, he got HUMBLED.. they always talking shit! He lost that fight point blank
Islam is a savage even though Alex was alot smaller he is still one of the best fighters in the world... volk put up a really good fight I have to watch it again
Alex was not a lot smaller. he was just shorter. he was as heavy and nearly as big. and has the same reach.
Goddamnit no matter what you gotta love the dynamic Islam and Khabib have. They had so much respect for each other and they don’t bullshit. They just say what happened and what they need to do to fix it.
Islam ☝️💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💙
🤣🤣🤣🤣 these two are amazing together. Great fight, well deserved results for sure
Both fighters was blooming amazing but I know islam going to be back stronger for the rematch with alex
Brotherhood ❤
Not easy to stay without a person you spent your entire life with and still stay on your complete senses and behaving normal..... I know it coz I have a Childhood freind for 30 years!
I love you brothers 💪🏾💙
In case some are wonder what Khabib meant by “I've become old now”, is that he got so stressed out watching Islam's fight that he feels it physically aged him. 😁
Brothers 4 life.
؛-(
Why didn't he feel about himself when he couldn't finish Al
@@walidsarwary he won that fight dominantly. And I do think Islam makes some mistakes Vs Volk. He lost position in the 5 th round
@@walidsarwary dude he didn't lost a round when he fought Al. You seriously a casual
@@walidsarwary
Haha
Haha
Haha
It’s incredible the respect they have for each other and love. Now is Khabib is in your corner telling you what to do during the fight in a different language is a huge advantage and I would take that any day
The bond of brotherhood/sisterhood in Islam is absolutely unique.
It's actually a good thing that Khabib wasn't there. Risky, but overall he can't expect to have Khabib by his side every time. Good experience to teach him how to fight without Khabib in his corner.
Yeah bro I thought it was crazy when I heard Khabib wasn’t gonna be there for his first title defense
Same especially for his biggest fight ever
Islam being Champ is basically Khabib still being champ
Now nobody will say that Islam win because Khabib's there.
@@haidamsalleh1763 that was stupid anyway, Khabib can’t get in and fight for him.
he needed his brother to be there if he was I bet just like he said it would be easier and better off for him you can tell he wanted him there
Khabib is the type of coach that will punch you hard and said "stand up, you need this experience."
Huge props go to Islam Ramazanovich Makhachev! He went from mountains of Dagestan, Russia, to the very top of the UFC. Many people kept saying he had not fought anyone in the top 5, but that was because everyone kept ducking him! When he finally got a chance to fight for the Lightweight title against Oliveira (who has the most submissions in the UFC), Islam submits him to become Champ. Next, Islam beats P4P King in his backyard with Volkanovski! This win earned Islam his Champ Champ status, as well as his title of the new P4P best fighter in the world! I am so proud and happy for him! The Baby Eagle is now soaring as high as The Eagle, Khabib Abdulmanapovich Nurmagomedov! 🦅🦅🏆🏆
Islam is a bad mofo and yes almost positive he's the current p4p fighter BUT.... He's doesn't have the champ champ status yet. If he would've fought at Volks weight and beat him he would be but alas, he didn't.
Chill bro
You talk asif he just saved the world, props to him but it ain't that serious lol
@@coltenn8785 To you it is not serious, but for Islam, he trained his whole life to become the P4P best fighter in the world. This means so much for him, Khabib, his teammates, and for his true fans! We appreciate Islam's super impressive achievement to become P4P best fighter in the world, even if you don't! Way to go Islam! You made everyone that supports you very proud!
@@Thawhid Hell no! I am going to celebrate and appreciate what Islam accomplished! Stop being salty. I am sure Alex will be ok in Featherweight division, but Islam was just too much for him!
Wow. Volk touched him up and left him all bruised. They both put on a helluva fight for the fans, though.
Lol you can get a bruise from a wife accidentally punching you , bullshit argument
Super humble.
in that first fight you could tell anxiety or something was holding islam back, and then he says it would be easier with khabib proves that, islam has the skill hopefully this works his mental out its better to not rely on khabib
Islam has more damage on his face in this fight than what khabib had in his full career. Just shows how good khabib really was/is
Or how good that other guy was
Khabib was one of the GOATs fersure!
Khabib didnt fight volk lol. Even tho he would have beat volks ass, its not fair to compare. Volk is a more tough opponent than anyone khabib ever faced
nah youre I was rooting for islam but youre selling voli short here
@@LaPride247 idk man, Connor was Lowkey one of the toughest dudes in the division AT THE TIME. But yeah who knows how Khabib vs Volk woulda gone down.
pretty humble after telling the whole 2 weight classes to get better
After getting out muscled by a short featherweight
@@jeffreyrent9532 cry motr
@@jeffreyrent9532 Volkanovski walks around at over 200 lbs and is heavier and stockier than Islam.
@@tropickman soooo you are saying he cuts over 55 lbs? Ahhh casual. He was heavier in his rugby days yes, do a shred of research next time you goof.
Volk smashed him, Islam looks beat up could hardly stand. Volk smashed him
The absence of that friend is a mistake.......everyone need that friend ❤
I like Islam for his bravado of not trying take downs from the first go and really test his own standup and also his wish to move to upper weight class and try his skills there something that was missing in khabib's legacy run.
N I was totally Impressed With Alex ground game., Made Islam look 👀 normal the best in the game n the champ who everyone feared n though was gonna be dominant n finish Alex in few minutes in the 1st round..,
And Alex moved up weight to fight the monster Islam strong guy.,, Alex had a lot of difficulty n more challenges but he made it look so normal n easy.,,
Islam won the belt respect 🫡 N Alex won people’s heart ❤️
And judges won it for Islam 👍🏼
Volk is still #1 P4P
@@FriendlyHomie they fight at 155. Islam no.1 pfp. But volk got dagestanis respect for sure.
@@mustipunyaemail I disagree. Islam is a weight bully, he's defended his title once, he's fought 1 fighter in the top 10, right? And the #1 P4P who fights at FW. While Volk has cleared out a division, went up to give a weight bully who everyone thought he had no chance against an extremely close fight. P4P Volk is 100% #1.
