This is what UFC fighters should be doing to get more attention, create more fans, and increase their brand. Conor McGregor heightened the promotion pipeline of being flashy, braggadocio, and cocky, but Volk is presenting another option for MMA fighters who are simply not like Conor McGregor. If you don’t want to go the route of acting like Conor McGregor or chael sonnon, then do what volk is doing. Have fun with it, make jokes, act silly, because plenty of fans will eat this up.
Right up there with the media telling Suga that the refs had Aljo up in the first round and his response was a callous “How’d they score the second round?” 😂😂😂
This is iconic. Every little detail. The way he has a landline, still has a VCR, tapes over the fight, has a garden, typewriter, glasses, almost gives his credit card info over the phone. The best part is the neighbor lady calls him "fighter boy" and tells him to run back to his hexagon. Even hosing the skateboarders on the sidewalk. Too good.
Whoever scripted this is an utter genius lol. The reply on the typewriter… the phone call… the tv snooze… angry neighbour… classic! 👏🏻. Volk - The Goat of Grandpa’s… And he’s only 35 🤷♂️😂
That One hit home. My Dad's been scammed multiple times. The latest one was him winning a Car. I warn him every time but He's always like "This time it's Real!" 😂😂😂
@@gabeagca2758 Can't take away his Phone. He will just start taking his frustrations about the news on me. At least this way, He's got other people to blame for his hypertension. 😁
@@MovementDrifter 🤣🤣🤣 My Dad gets catfished daily on Facebook. It's not the catfishers fault either. My Old man can't fathom that the person behind the pic might be different. Keeps hitting on dudes who have a female celebrity's photo on their DP.
@XAE_A_Xii Volk is going to humble ilia mate. He's only fought one top fighter in josh emmet and everyone thinks he's better than Volk lol mad casuals
@XAE_A_Xii no denying Ilia made me eat my words with that KO, hopefully Volk gets the rematch and doesn't get caught again but Ilias power is impressive.
@@infidelMCR I love Volk, but you can see he is not in his prime. You can’t keep fighting till 60 and expect to remain a champion, you can’t beat the nature. He had enough fame, time to give up his space to new generation
You raise a good point. The UFC dropped the ball big time. Why didn't the UFC think of this first? The UFC doesn't know how to do individual fighter marketing. This outside company just blew away all of the UFC's promotion with one single skit.
@@DarkWarrior_1 No one accused either of them of being great at acting before they debuted tbh. They're acting career definitely came by unpopular demand.
Undefeated, undisputed featherweight champion of the world. Volk has been a great champion but he should now take a long rest and recuperate given the two consecutive knockout defeats. #andnew
It’s all the subtleties in his performance here which truly make this special. The side glances, the shrugs, the genuine innocence in his eyes, and on point hand gestures. His mastery of his physicality in and out of the “hexagon” is why we love Volk.
@brentferguson7150 yeah his acting is pretty natural here. Not wooden or anything at all. Genuinely impressive for someone who isn't a professional actor
Big fan of alex but I was struggle with the prospect of paying $70 to watch him on PPv but this pushed it over the edge for me I’ll be supporting him tonight for sure
True confidence is not bragging, or shouting loudly. True confidence is knowing yourself, and presenting calm, and humor in the face of loudmouthed braggarts.
Yo tambien prefiero que gane Volkanovski. Topuria actua como McGregor y me hace pasar vergüenza, por muy español que se sienta y por mucho que vaya a traer la UFC a Madrid. Y eso que dijo que McGregor le daba malas vibraciones. I also want to Volkanovski to win. As a spanish from Madrid Topuria makes me feel embarrased, even though he is going to bring the UFC to Madrid. He acts as McGregor🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤮🤮🤮 when he said that he gave him bad vibrations🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️.
Anyone can get knocked out with the right punch but he is still a Champion level fighter and naturally talented actor. He could make much more money after UFC!
Doesn't count as an ad when it's this fucking good
I forgot this was an ad 🤣😩

That was pretty clear when he came out as Stone Cold Steve Austin

2nd after Charles Oliveira
Max is also in that category. Listened his to beat dodo from a playing ufc 3 lol

I feel like an era is coming to a end everytime I care less about the ufc

Bro heard Topuria is making a movie so he one-upped him by proving he's also a better actor.
I think what Topuria is doing is a documentary about his career, not directly a movie. Or maybe, a mixture of both (documentary with acted scenes).
Topuria has short man syndrome and takes himself too seriously

One of the best promos I have seen. Volk does a great job acting in this.
"acting"
Him not hearing the "you're too old" first time is really funny😅
This is the most brilliant piece of promotion any fighter has ever done.
