What I've been saying ❤ he's such a genuinely good dude, there's nothing unlikable about him. That's why it hurts so bad when he loses. But i'm proud of him man, 4 years at the top as an absolute killer. If I was a dude and Volk had beef with me, I'd just take my own self out and save myself the mauling 😅
Handled well my a$$$, he here infront the camera pretending like it doesn't bother him, then 3 months later he b!tch about I wasn't training, I was drinking alcohol etc....smh
As a Georgian, I will say you have a lot of supporters in our country, we love you so much, Great champ, great person, wish you all the best. Our happines for ilia was not full because the person he defeated was you! With respect, wish you good recovery and all the best. Sorry for my English
Oh who cares , Evloev will defeat Topuria and Volk can fight him once he gets ready - that's why Topuria doesn't want to fight Movsar , he knows that first L is coming via unanimous decision
We need to make this a normal statement. Dude is an inspiration for so many things, just a good guy. Even Tuporia hesitated when asked about a rematch "he's such a good, good guy" he wants volk to succeed... Just... Not against him lol.
I’m from Spain. You are the reason I started following the UFC so thank you so much for everything you have done in and out of the octogon. You have been a great champ and you deserve all the respect. Gracias campeón.
Real man. You cannot hate a man who's humble in victory and defeat. I believe that Volk will come back and win that title again. Ups and downs are a part of every sport. Much love brother
agree 100%. Volk has had his reign. it was a very good one. He should move up to 155 and do a super-fight or 2, a couple of good paydays, and then bounce. btw - he is one of the humblest guys out there. @@hoaxnineteen
@@coffeeemate6741mma fans also js like volk, he is a fan pleaser, fought max when he didn’t need to, fought Islam off the couch and all around a good guy. I went for illia but volk is still a goat.
Dana has ruined Volk's career. He shouldn't have gotten Volk in with Islam on 10 days notice after Volk had taken a few weeks off training due to having a baby. That KO he suffered has ruined his chin. Now Volk just looks like a shadow of his former self. Sad.

I also thought volk did good he adjusted his game plan and took less kicks and his experience showed but his getting backed up onto the fence was it.

What a G.O.A.T. A real man, talk whenever, win or lose, he stay humble and simple ! What a legend, continue to be this example that you are champion, the world needs people like you.
You're one of my favorite fighters of all time. Please take the time you need to recover. Take the time to address the cause of your depression and answer those questions honestly. You have nothing to prove, you're already one of the best fighters in history. Nothing can change that. 💪🏼💪🏼
So great to see you, Volk. Awesome to see the crowd getting behind you lately, you’re an absolute legend and we all love you man. Looking forward to your return!
Glad you’re fine champ! Take a time off! And I know you’re going to do a great comeback. You’re one of a kind Volk! For me the greatest featherweight of all time. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽

I think this is the 1st time I’m commenting on youtube. You’re a true definition of a champ Volk. A real inspiration. I wish you a good recovery and I’m sure you will eventually get your belt(s) !
We don't care how many times you comment. Stop pretending you are this important person that has no time to waste to comment. You waste plenty of time, more than me probably. I am studying a master degree in engineering, I do a part time job, I have a girl, and I work out every day. And I have time to comment. So shut the fuck up.
Volk eventho I'm Georgian and a huge Ilia Fan, you're a legend, you're the reason there's so much passion in this sport, you are a motivation for every human being, Big respect from Georgian fanbase!
Thank you for being our champion inside and outside of the octogon. You are such an inspiration for young fighters, young men, and UFC fans around the world. The Volk era is not over.
Greetings from Spain Alex, my group was fully supporting Ilia but we all agreed we wouldn't mind so much if you had won. You are such a likeable guy, humble and funny. Wish you a quick recovery and all the best going forward!
Eso es porq no ibas con ilia, volka dijo q iba a barrer el suelo con ilia, q lo iba a humillar... No cumplió, no duró ni dos asaltos. Ilia está a otro nivel

absolute legend you are volk. no other words needed. happy to hear youre alright and ready for the rematch. cant wait to see you get your belt back. We all believe in you!!!
I never commented anything here or anywhere, but this time I just cannot stay silent. Watching you become a true legendary warrior has been a real inspiration to me. Please see this as a great opportunity to reflect and recapitulate. You and all of us here know that you will come back even better, stronger and wiser. Much love and respect. 🤜🤛

You are an example and an inspiration. Much respect. Thanks for been such a great person, we need more figthers with your elegance and professionalism. Big hug from Spain. 🇪🇸
who's stopping me from keeping the two divisions busy? I won that fight. i got robbed. i got knocked out cold into a shadow realm because i have depression. I was drunk
Huge respect and love to you Volk from Georgia 🇬🇪 apart from being a phenomenal fighter, you’re also phenomenal example of modesty and politeness, which is a rarity in UFC! I obviously was rooting for Topuria, but my heart broke when you lost, ain’t that a paradox! Keep it up champ!!!
one thing I dont understand is why are georgians proud of illia ? He literally left the country because that country could not give him what he needed. Every thing he earned is because of spain and because spain provided for him and his family. He is not your boy anymore, I understand the sentiment but once the country fails to acknowledge people like that or fighters like that, he wont be yours anymore.
@@ankitpradhan4183 they emigrated in Spain not because of sport issues. He started wrestling in Georgia, he is what he is because of both Georgia and Spain and he represents both countries, so it’s for him to decide.
@@ankitpradhan4183 they migrated because of economic issues, but Sportwise he and his brother thought that it was all over for them, they wanted to become Olympic champions, but than they accidentally found Clemente club and parents asked them to give this sport a try, I mean mma. Yes Spain took them in, but if you think about it, Ilia made mma and UFC popular in Spain, cuz until last 2 years, they had no idea this sport even existed.
@@irakliirakli4267 he chose to represent so its his choice. Yall have nothing to celebrate, celebrate the fact that the guy who your country could not give enough nourishments went to world stage and is humble enough to represent your flag.... its not like your country did anything or you did anything.
Alex, you are great. You inspire a lot of people to reach their goals. Sometimes you fail, but remember you are a strong man. No doubt you're a great athlete, I don't think you need to prove it. Good luck and good health.
No matter what happened we all love you man. Youre one of the greatest fighters ever and a great human being. Heal up and come back even stronger. We are all waiting for the new alex era💪. Good luck mate.
We’re all so proud of you champ, no matter the outcome. You’ve already proven your one of the greatest to ever step foot in the cage. We’re all rooting for you all the same, wether your the nail or the hammer. I’d love to see a rematch, but please take the necessary amount of time off. These quick turnarounds are not giving your brain the proper time it needs to heal, just take 6-8 months off and get your rematch when your at 100% you’ve done more then enough to earn it. Wishing you a speedy recovery and best of luck in the future champ.
Win or lose, I don’t think there’s been a single fighter who has carried themselves so well and gained the respect of so many like Volk has. The blokes incredible 💪🙌
you truly are GREAT Volk. what you did in your division, the fact that you dared to be even greater and go up a division TWICE speaks to how much you believe in yourself. You're such an inspiration to so many people and youll always be remembered in history.
Thank you, Champ. A hell of a ride it’s been. Excited to witness more greatness upon your return. Happy to know your journey isn’t over. Enjoy some time off, Champ. Massive support!!!
Thank you for being The Great. In your wins and now in your losses. I'll always be backing you up. Huge champ and role model for the sport. You've been harsh on yourself, mate. You really need this rest.

I'll be excited to see your triumphant return to action later on down the road. Blessings to you and your family.
From a spaniard & Topuria fan, I have to congratulate you, Volk. You're a legendary fighter, a great person and an absolute class act.

@@dhimankalita1690 Is it hard to type and fondle Topurias balls at the same time?
His work ethic? How about when he loses, he and his team accused Islam of cheating and then making excuses when he got knocked out. Can't wait to hear the BS he feeds you bandwagon fans next.
Stop giving this man false hope. The amount of brain damage he’s taken in the passed couple months and he’s already talking about getting back in there.
@@wisdomveritas6281Why did you start your comment questioning his work ethic fool? Dan Hooker complaining has NOTHING to do with how hard he works🤦🏼♂️
And Islam’s team has been caught cheating multiple times, dont act like its impossible
Much love and respect from Spain.

You are awesome man, awesome fight, love see how two gladiators give all in the fight. I hope see more of you and Topuria. Two legends right now.
I'm from Spain and you have my respect. You're a legend even in a rough moment like that. Thank you Sir.
early stoppage. if the referee had given volkswagen 10 more seconds he could've gotten up and continue
@@The_Eagle_Official definitely you watched another fight
@@The_Eagle_Official Bro, are you fucking cooked!? LOL. Why the fuck does the ref need to give a fighter more time to wake up if he's out? He was OUT dude... holy.
@@The_Eagle_Officialyeah. As a fkn ghost
@@The_Eagle_OfficialDo you even know What a KO means kid??
Much love Volk. You have represented this country in great fashion on the world stage for a very long time. You make us and the MMA community proud to support you on your journey. The story isn't finished and is yours to forge. Rest up, enjoy time away and we'll await your return!
man needs to take minimum 7 months off to get a bit of his old chin back. must not touch liquor with a 10 foot pole during this period.
Clearly you dont care about him if you wanna see him slept again 🤣🇪🇸
Lots of respect from Spain. You are great, Alexander Volkanoski.
topuria isn't spanish, he claims to be spanish when it benefits him. he'll pull off an ngannou when he gets fsmous and shifts back to being georgian
who gives a f if your from spain
Apparently you did because you reacted to the comment@@Nasdaqslaktarn
@@The_Eagle_Official Your p-envy is totally irrelevant to the conversation, believe it or not. We love Ilia in Spain. And we love Volk as well.
Ilia is bringing the UFC to Spain for the first time. What have you achieved in life other than a few thousand dirty socks used as napkins?? Lmao your racism is simply pitiful, stop commenting your shit everywhere...
apparently you, now go take a nap like your hero
What a G.O.A.T.
A real man, talk whenever, win or lose, he stay humble and simple !
What a legend, continue to be this example that you are champion, the world needs people like you.
You're one of my favorite fighters of all time. Please take the time you need to recover. Take the time to address the cause of your depression and answer those questions honestly. You have nothing to prove, you're already one of the best fighters in history. Nothing can change that. 💪🏼💪🏼
Facts 👍
So great to see you, Volk. Awesome to see the crowd getting behind you lately, you’re an absolute legend and we all love you man. Looking forward to your return!

You’re the best, Champ. Thank you for representing Australia and for being real. Rest up and I can’t wait to see your next outing
Mark my words he will get koed by sneako in a few year on misfits for a paycheck

As a proud Spaniard I cannot stress enough how big of a legend you are. You are looked up to all over the world Volk, and Spain is not an exception. Deep admiration for you as an athlete, as a professional and as a human being. Keep that fire burning! Love u man ❤️🔥
Idk what the spaniard thing has to do with it. Ilia isn't spanish.

We don't care how many times you comment. Stop pretending you are this important person that has no time to waste to comment. You waste plenty of time, more than me probably. I am studying a master degree in engineering, I do a part time job, I have a girl, and I work out every day. And I have time to comment. So shut the fuck up.
Stop lying...😂
He aint the champ,ilia is 🤣🇪🇸
Volk eventho I'm Georgian and a huge Ilia Fan, you're a legend, you're the reason there's so much passion in this sport, you are a motivation for every human being, Big respect from Georgian fanbase!

Hope you're doing well my man!! Can't wait for the come back, and to get that belt back!! Take care champ!

Huge respect and love to you Volk from Georgia 🇬🇪 apart from being a phenomenal fighter, you’re also phenomenal example of modesty and politeness, which is a rarity in UFC! I obviously was rooting for Topuria, but my heart broke when you lost, ain’t that a paradox! Keep it up champ!!!

Respect from Georgia Volk, you’re a legend. You deserve rematch, ofc I’m rooting for our boy, but I respect you. 🇬🇪
one thing I dont understand is why are georgians proud of illia ?
He literally left the country because that country could not give him what he needed.
Every thing he earned is because of spain and because spain provided for him and his family.
He is not your boy anymore,
I understand the sentiment but once the country fails to acknowledge people like that or fighters like that, he wont be yours anymore.
@@ankitpradhan4183 they emigrated in Spain not because of sport issues. He started wrestling in Georgia, he is what he is because of both Georgia and Spain and he represents both countries, so it’s for him to decide.
@@ankitpradhan4183 they migrated because of economic issues, but Sportwise he and his brother thought that it was all over for them, they wanted to become Olympic champions, but than they accidentally found Clemente club and parents asked them to give this sport a try, I mean mma. Yes Spain took them in, but if you think about it, Ilia made mma and UFC popular in Spain, cuz until last 2 years, they had no idea this sport even existed.
@@ankitpradhan4183 he represents georgian flag in ufc, is not it enough? whate the ffck do you ned anymore?????
@@irakliirakli4267 he chose to represent so its his choice.
Yall have nothing to celebrate, celebrate the fact that the guy who your country could not give enough nourishments went to world stage and is humble enough to represent your flag....
its not like your country did anything or you did anything.
Alex, you are great. You inspire a lot of people to reach their goals. Sometimes you fail, but remember you are a strong man. No doubt you're a great athlete, I don't think you need to prove it. Good luck and good health.
Sending you love and respect from toronto.

Never seen anyone accept victory or defeat so gracefully! You're a role model for life champ! Love ya!
We’re all so proud of you champ, no matter the outcome. You’ve already proven your one of the greatest to ever step foot in the cage. We’re all rooting for you all the same, wether your the nail or the hammer. I’d love to see a rematch, but please take the necessary amount of time off. These quick turnarounds are not giving your brain the proper time it needs to heal, just take 6-8 months off and get your rematch when your at 100% you’ve done more then enough to earn it. Wishing you a speedy recovery and best of luck in the future champ.
Win or lose, I don’t think there’s been a single fighter who has carried themselves so well and gained the respect of so many like Volk has.
The blokes incredible 💪🙌
Possibly GSP. Two most respected goats in MMA
you truly are GREAT Volk. what you did in your division, the fact that you dared to be even greater and go up a division TWICE speaks to how much you believe in yourself. You're such an inspiration to so many people and youll always be remembered in history.
You're the man bro, I look forward to your fights more than anyone elses. stay hard champ
Stay hard? 🤣. Yeah Volk stay hard and go give that hardness to Mark Zuckerberg
Thank you, Champ.

From a spaniard & Topuria fan, I have to congratulate you, Volk. You're a legendary fighter, a great person and an absolute class act.
