UFC Featherweight Champion and Pound-For-Pound greatest fighter in the UFC Alexander Volkanovski joins the Flagrant x UFC Stream to add to the lore. He discusses his upcoming bout with Islam Makhachev from Khabib's team, his RUclips channel, and how Australian rugby players train on Mondays with Andrew Schulz. We are also joined by Craig Jones, an Australian Jiu-Jitsu Player/Fighter/Competitor/Grappler.
Need a full on Craig Jones guest appearance
Who's here after Volkanovski made his name in UFC history with the performance he put in vs Makhachev?
Yea also here after Izzy got finished
Smelly Indian
@@deansmith3647 what did you say again? 😭
Ohh another Izzy fan . He don’t kno or like you bruh
@@deansmith3647nu not even izzys fan actually volks fan, but gotta give izzy his credit matw
his entrance song is 100% responsible for his victories
Volkanovski might not be much of a challenge for Makhachev, but *Bulkanovski* will be a whole different story! 💪👊🔥💣💥
🤣🤣🤣 I concur.
Prime Islam vs. Bulkanovski will be a fight not to be missed!
Baldanovski is the mightiest.
Volk, Baldanovski and Bulkanovski remind me of the ascending levels of the same opponent in Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!
You're delusional! Islam is going to dominate him badly. This won't be close.
@@carltonpenaloza1395 You can come up with all the Bulkanovski nicknames your little pea brain can dream up. This is not going to be competitive at all. Islam beats him inside of 2 rounds.
In rugby there's more than one person trying to take you down,it can only help with balance and takedown defence
In judo you got so many technique to take a person down
@@abangkacak6006 2 or 3 (bigger men) holding you down in a tackle is harder to fight off, than 1 man with lots of judo techniques.
Schulzy getting Volk. This is epic!
Can't decide whether Volk just has massive balls in taking the Islam fight, or if he's totally delusional in thinking he actually has a shot to win.. probably both honestly. He taps in round 2 or 3..
I think Islam can take him out in 1 honestly.
Yeah I think it’s both lmao
He thinks he can eacape the sub attempts by Islam just like he did against Ortega, he’s in for a surprise
@@ryangreen45 makachev is in a whole other level than Brian though
@@michaelrodriguez2212 that’s exactly what i meant
Can't believe so few people even giving Volk a chance. Hes a huge favourite in my eyes. Meh, it's all good. More money for me. Lessssgoooo Alex!
🤣🤣🤣
Yea yea yea we hear this a million times but it always plays out the same
I love Volk but he's a massive underdog. If he wins it will be epic though.
Volk has zero chance in this fight. Islam will man handle him.
Like I said.... More money for me 🤑
The guy played rugby, which is basically 80 minutes of avoiding being taken down by 6 foot 4 guys weighing nearly 20 stone. This is why he's been so dominant in UFC as no one else has experienced the physical demand of Rugby. Rugby Pedigree is like no other and I think Islam would come off the pitch crying after being dump tackled. Rugby pedigree is like no other 🇦🇺 🇬🇧
Yea cause Makhachev really looks like the crying type 🤦♂️🤦🤦♀️😂🤣
If Chad Mendes was taking Volk down, & Ortega almost subbed him, having played rugby won't help him much against a guy whose ground game is orders of magnitude better than Ortega/Mendes combined.
What’s an eighth of whatever you’re smoking, lol. Can’t wait for your cunt to get swollen when Makhachev subs him under 2.
So awesome that Flagrant can get these guests on. Schulzy truly is the greatest MMA journalist.
Being good mates with Rogan goes along way. I also love Shultz take on MMA and his ability to get top fighters on the show.
Such a bad stand up he has too be good at something
@@Matsoni85 Imagine roasting someone who has the most popular podcast in the world while you eat glue sticks in your living room. Hot damn son
Yikes. Helwani is leagues beyond this joke of a "comic" as a journalist and it's not even close.
@@fraskie66 He likes MMA and is trying to drive more and more traffic to his podcast. Journalism is a stretch.
I know Islam was like short guy and stuff, he's not gonna underestimate you volk, that's not what the dagestanis do, they don't overlook opponents. They prepare the best for everyone be it an unranked contender or the best pfp champ. I think Islam will submit him in the first round, just my opinion
I agree. This will not be competitive. Volk will get dominated and submitted.
With Usman losing to Edwards like he did and all the upsets.. aussie guy smashing the Russians face in in pfl on the weekend etc.. Aussies are different bro.. just like Russians Volkanovski is going to survive ground and make it a stand up clinic derailing Islam in my opinion.. but I've been wrong plenty of times Islam may just maul him but I just got a strange feeling Volkanovski gonna do something miraculous
@@glennmahoney3911 What are you smoking? On what Universe are Aussies different bro? Dan Hooker who is basically an Aussie got totally dominated by Islam in just over 2 min. The Dagestan's are steam rolling over everyone. Khabib, Islam, Umar, Usman. They have a combined record of 83-1 in mma. Not sure on what cereal box you are getting your stats from but there are no Aussie's that come close to that domination. You were wrong plenty of times and will be wrong again.
@@richarddawson5836 ok mate Rob Wilkinson from Tasmania Australia just smashed the dagestani Omari Akhmedov to win the million and Lhw title in pfl.. Dan Hooker is New Zealand and hes past his prime. Australia have Rob whittaker who in many people's opinion is the true middle weight champion watch the weasel breakdown he should have got the decision against Israel adesanya. Craig Jones is another Australian working with Volkanovski and Craig isn't mma obviously but he would wipe the mat with everyone at aka in submissions Dc Khabib Islam. We can all have our opinions but time will tell. Leon beat Usman remember and I get that to the casual Usman was so great but to the more knowledgeable Islam is far better than Usman and Volkanovski is far better than Edwards. This will be a horrible night for Islam if Volkanovski can manage the distance imo
@@glennmahoney3911 You have lost your mind! Seriously, what is wrong with you? No one on the planet believes Whittaker to be the real middle weight champion? He lost twice to Israel and the last time got knocked out. The fact you watch the Weasel to get your info tells me all I need to know. Omari Akhmedov really? You are reaching into PFL now? You clearly are a pencil neck geek who has never been in a fight in your life. Islam is going to mop the floor with Volkannovski and it will be a beatdown. Check back after the fight and tell me your excuse why he got mauled then. Maybe the Weasel can help you out with that.
Would love to see an epic with just Craig!
I love it when the girls talk about their knowledge of fight week
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Volk is delusional if he really thinks that Islam is underestimating him.. Khabib literally told Islam right before fight with Charles, that Volk is tougher challenge than Charles..but then khabib said "Who cares, Islam still going to finish him"
Fun fact: fighters are delusional about their opponent’s perception of their abilities.
Delusional? Have you watched any press… obviously not. You’re quoting something khabib said not Islam. Study before you comment something so brain dead 😃
@@noosa. comin with the HEAT
@@noosa. if Khabib telling Islam something..does your stupid brain think Islam will not listen?? Idiot!!
@@bachdeanOnline you’re actually very slow 🥱. What’s coming from Islam’s mouth isn’t the same as khabib lol, of course he’ll listen to khabib that’s his coach? You need to go to some research before you reply again because you’re making me lose brain cells with the 0 knowledge you have 👋
If the fight comes down to heart and grit and guts...no-one beats Volk. He's got that sewn up. Super strong mind and self belief. But you *really* don't want to be the smaller and lighter opponent to an elite Dagestani wrestler...who is used to throwing around, holding down, and dominating larger heavier guys. Volk has a very narrow path to victory in this.
weight doesnt even play as much as a role as people make it out to, islam vs dober was about the same as every other dagestani beatdown and dober weighed in at 183lbs on fight night
This didn’t age well! Volk got robbed
If you can get Khabib, it would be 🔥
He wouldn't go on flagrant. To much immoral talk n alcohol
@@tomwilson5721 Yeah, their energies don’t exactly mix. Khabib could go on Rogan’s tho
Jon Jones would fit in better than khabib
Khabib is a great fighter but terrible socially. It would make for a boring interview.
You guys need to bring volk back for sure this was amazing
I can’t tell if Volk is just an amazing guest or the fact that Akaash isn’t there being a giant tool. Probably a little of both. LolZ.
Craig Jones is the goat
Don't get too confident Volk, keep training the wrestle.
@@Makedonce1989. the fight is 3 months away sped
@@Makedonce1989. congratulations you typed all that out to make yourself look retarded
@@Makedonce1989. every champ is going to do media lol. This guy is training and has a house full of foreign wrestlers to help him out.
@@bilbowaggins3036 doesnt matter how many foreign wrestlers he has when none of them are close to Makhachevs level lmao. U aint gonna catch up to a lifetime wrestler in 3 months
@@ALLTimeGamerTroll you realize khabib and islam are shit wrestlers for their region, right? That's the reason they went into sambo and then mma.
23:55 you hear someone rip a fart
DC said the first time he rolled with Islam he compared him to a concrete slab trying to get him off of him. Good luck Volk.
Izzy thing aged well. :D
Elevated Flagrant. Love it. But I would love an old school no guest just shit talk for 2 hours
28:58 Bro got up & layed down thinking it was gonna kill & got no reaction no one even acknowledged he just did that 😂💀
Cmon we all know it’s gonna be a Round 1 Submission. If islam decides to play with him could be longer. It’s up to Islams meal plans.
damn
Volk is usually so reserved, they got him out of his shell.
Pissing in the mouth gets everyone going😂
I love alex. Becoz he not hyping up something he dint had like charlie etc.
Putting $250 on volk. He hasn't let me down in 5 years and has made me over 5k betting on him. Plus he's a well oiled machine.
Advice: Bet on Makhachev "double chance". Submission or TKO. You will atleast make 750
well this time you will get disappointed so put your money on makachev via submission
Much better if u bet your house on it..
Brother trust your guy and put the whole £5000 on him. If you’re that confident just go for it , maaaaaaan. 😉😉😉
Could've paid that $250 to your rent mate. Islam will steamroll & ragdoll Volk inside 2 rounds. I'm Aussie but I'm backing Makhachev on this one.
Man, that shadowrealm talk didn’t age well
If Islam runs thru Volk than Islam will never lose again
There is Beniel, Fiziev, Gamrot and Ismagulov..
Hopefully Volk's confidence will remain sticking to him after round 2 against Islam. We will see. Seriously, what Islam did against Charles I dont think Volk's going to do anything different.
21:52 video begins
islam’s grappling will be too much for volk sadly
Based on this conversation, I can say for sure that Makhachev will dominate Volk in the fight. Earlier I wasn't sure, but now I am.
🤡
i think thats the most likely result. if islam can get volk in the holds brian ortega had him in (which he can) there is no shot volk escapes. that being said volk is very quick and hits hard i think his only chance is if he start rocking islam early and can stop takedowns. id say 85% chance islam wins but i think volk beating him is possible
Lol
@@MrBingus5000 who's the clown now, bitch
@@MrBingus5000 you are acting like he beat him last time 🤡
funny thing is.. all the conor fans and islam haters are rooting for volk..
but most people think(even the islam haters) that islam will win..
Lol try all the Australians bro..... nothing to do with connor at all.
No I support him cos I’m Australian dickhead
@@kingt0295 half wit, did i say anything like Australian's and New Zealanders aren't supporting volk? ofcourse they are... i'm just stating all the conor fans and islam haters are also rallying for volk..
@@lukedeker4676 did i say anything like Australian's and New Zealanders aren't supporting volk? ofcourse they are... i'm just stating all the conor fans and islam haters are also rallying for volk..
Australians rooting for Volk too and we all like Islam, I think Islam will win :( Volk will put up a long hard fight.
YOUR AD MID VIDEO IS TOO LOUD, HOPE YOU SEE THIS, FIRE YOUR SOUND EDITOR
LOLL..... Welp, that intro didn't age very well, did it ? 🤣🤣🤣
That didn’t age well
when is the makhachev thing ?
February 12th ! Less than 3 months away !
People should never bet against the Dagestan wrestlers
Is someone busting ass in the mic the whole interview or what bruh 💀😂
Islam is not losing for a very long time.
Volk doesn't trash talk either. Why Andrew never complains about him being the champ and boring?
"Exponent" is the word you're looking for 😊
the man train judo/sambo/MMA/greco roman/freestyle wrestling and mix all of those for years since they were kids in mountains with high altitude so they breath different to .... undeniable work ethic and devotion to there craft literally everyday in the gym with similar monsters with the same pedegree and you think you can defend the take down of a monster like that just by drilling takedown defense, the only hope you have is to catch him slipping before he gets you on the mat cause aint no coming out of his chokehold, i understand the confidence and i believe volk has a very slim chance of winning cause its mma anything can happen, but if we have them fight 10 times 9/10 or even 10/10 makachev take the W
Islam has trained extensively in gracie jiu-jitsu and so has Khabib. Vieira changed there entire game facts
What do we say to the God of Death?
Volkanovski: "Not today."
I got Volk. Watch this shit happen.
Please dont hibernate after Feb
We will
@Astra Cruiser Haha could be on this one. Islam is a beast.
Alex “thets just moy mentelity, that’s the toipe of goy i em” volkanovski
Yea welcome to the ethnic aussie accent ya fucken dog cunt
Oi fuck off mate we don’t sound like that 😂😂
Hilarious, nothing like highschool humor...
*0.95 -*
Makhachev's SApM stat - least hittable fighter in UFC HISTORY.
Nuff said!
ISLAM TIME ❤🎉
Good clip, great clip ✌🏽
volk versus hasbullah 2 make it happen Dana
I went to school with volk and played rugby league with volk, and ill just let the people know that he ain't tapping haha, and that short solid neck just got thicker and a whole lot more difficult to get a hold of correctly, my question is how well does Islam handle taking punches and kicks? Don't be surprised if volk wins
Never really seen this podcast… what is the point in the other two men sitting on the sofa? Just sit there nodding and smiling 😂
There’s a reason there are different weight devisions and it’s not because of striking differentials it’s because of wrestling.
Everyone knows volk can strike and is very fast but at the end of the day it’s a guarantee that at some point the action will go to the ground. volk has not competed against anyone on the level on Islam, Islam made the submission king tap VERY FAST.
T city was able to lock in a tight sub and is no where close to the level of Olivera’s offensive sub game, when that happens with Islam he’s not getting out there’s levels with wrestling and grappling here. Volks only chance is to get a lucky clip and knock Islam out which every UFC fighter has but if he’s not lucky it’s going to be a quick one
Facts
@C0ttee nobody asked you either. This is a open comments section genius
i love volk, but this is true.. islam is gonna choke him out in the 1st or 2nd round
@C0ttee The matchup itself elicits a response from mma fans.
Everyone said that to him his all career, and look at him now. "He's too short", "To small for Holloway", "Not good enough" etc... Everyone seems to forget he played rugby aggainst 300 pound dudes at least (and 6'' +), If Alex can keep up with Islam's takedown attempts he will definitely outscore him. Also, he has a reach advantage over Islam and Alex' striking is second to none, he's like a mini Adesanya but with speed and power. Islam just won a title and everyone is hyping him up, he's striking is allright but I haven't seen Khabib level of dominance in the ground, I don't think he's on the same level.
first 30 seconds didnt age well HA! greatest mma journalist my ass-saw that coming and wasnt even following ufc hahahahahha
Next Flight:
Volkanovski fights Christianity
He is devout Macedonian Orthodox Christian
Oh I get it good play on words
He's such a legend.
I love Volk, the lad's just too cool
Here for Volk
Volk has as longer reach even with being shorter
Most people don’t know this and it’s extremely important
@@GaryLegion just by an inch though, he won’t be able to leverage that difference too much
STOP IT! ITS TOO MUCH CONTENT MY BRAIN CANT TAKE IT!!! 🤯🤯🤯
I'd be willing to bet everything I own on Islam (love Volk tho)
Volk should get in the training room..every day I see him in a new interview
It’s almost like he just fought you dumb fuck
“Everyday” guy did 3 interviews in a week
Why are you talking
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 right
W Alex P!
Islam is the favorite, but don’t take an Aussie fight lightly.
Islam winning this 🔥💯
Good luck volk but I think it's easy fight for Islam ☝️
Shadow realm? That did not age well! Haha
.....I feel like I've seen this episode already. But it says it just came out 4 hours ago so I'll keep watching... Mandela effect or some bullshit deja Vu
They livestreamed all the mma fighters the other day
he seems too confident to the point its seems he is over confident
Alhamdulillah 29-0 alhamdulillah inshallah islam makhachev will keep winning inshallah he will beat volkanovski alhamdulillah inshallah and still inshallah alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah 29-0 alhamdulillah inshallah islam makhachev will keep winning inshallah he will beat volkanovski alhamdulillah inshallah and still inshallah alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah الحمد لله الله اكبر إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله الحمد لله الله اكبر إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله الحمد لله الله اكبر إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله Alhamdulillah 29-0 alhamdulillah inshallah islam makhachev will keep winning inshallah he will beat volkanovski alhamdulillah inshallah and still inshallah alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah 29-0 alhamdulillah inshallah islam makhachev will keep winning inshallah he will beat volkanovski alhamdulillah inshallah and still inshallah alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah 29-0 alhamdulillah inshallah islam makhachev will keep winning inshallah he will beat volkanovski alhamdulillah inshallah and still inshallah alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah
You need help, lil bro. Maybe you should talk to a female (?)
Volk going to get fold.
This guy doesnt like the dagestanis . Probably still bitter from the mcgregor beating
What are you on about?
@@lukedeker4676 hero, obviously
Volk by submission
He should gain some fat. People underestimate how strong some fat makes you. He can afford to gain some fat for this fight.
Bring tsarukyan to camp
1st round ko Islam
Volk looks like a 4th grader sitting at the deans office with these guys 😆
Volk wouldn't be great after that fight that is for sure
volka take my advice don't drink too much and get into the gym more on grapple practise💪
Damn i hope he sees this..he'll just go for a session and not train at all. 🙄. I think he'll be just fine brother, hes been doing this a long time.
People forget Islam got knocked Tf out by a nobody.
Khazarian schhllll😂
Lol
Islam koed him
This guy is delusional
imagine calling the best featherweight fighter of all time delusional, its just called having confidence and wanting a challenge. Try it sometime
@@Thomson07 i know what a confidence looks like, Islam will show him how to be confident
Schulz can't even talk about Islam Makhachev without getting teary and sad.
hahaha! "It's boring, sniff. Boring!"
andrew tate
Islam subs him in 1
😊
😊😊
Too much laughing but nothing is funny ...
Yes, very serious, we must all be very serious
💯 behind ya Volk, but don’t treat this as a skills and will test. They will look to break you down on your weaknesses not your strengths.
Alex is same high as davi Ramos and arman tsarukyan who gave islam a though fight
Islam is improving every fight, he was a decision fighter back then. He’s a finishing machine now
Ramos has notoriously fast submission locks & arman has chain wrestling for days. Volk has neither.
That height is the only common thing about them. Ramos' BJJ credentials is higher than Oliveira and Tsarukyan got that Eastern European style wrestling. Volk never fight someone like Islam.
Volk will beat Islam and I hope Khabib comes back becasue Volk would beat him too.
😂
bless your delusional heart
@@a1997 lets just see what happens bitch
Z z.
Can't wait the fight volk let's go let's go
Unrealistic prediction but Volk by RNC
unrealistic? 😂 More like insanity
They think Islam’s just another fighter 😂🙏
Hey a real champ!
Volkanovski is completely delusional! There is zero chance he beats Islam. This is going to be a one sided beat down. Islam is much bigger, stronger, much better wrestler, grappler and submissions. I will be shocked if Volk can survive past the second round. This will not go to decision. Volk will be tapping or going to sleep.
He has a punchers chance.
@@fkillah Saying Volkanovski has a punchers chance is basically saying he needs a miracle! He is going to be dominated badly.
@@richarddawson5836 I give Volk a 10% chance of winning whereas anyone else a 1% chance. Only time Islam has lost was to a KO punch so it could happen and Volks striking and continued improvement is top level. Could happen to anyone, just look at Israel or Usman.
@@fkillah Yes, anyone can be beat, Usman and Israel got sloppy and got KO'd. Islam losing 1 fight by a flash knockdown (which was a very fast stoppage) actually helps Islam. He knows it can happen and won't take unnecessary risks. I like Volk and at bantamweight he is top of the food chain but at lightweight against a killer like Islam he has a zero % chance. I've been saying it for years these guys are monsters. Khabib, Islam, Umar, even Usman (Khabib's cousin) just won the lightweight title in Bellator. I trained with these guys in Dagestan in 2013 and they are next level. Their understanding of balance comes from their Sambo background and they never get tired. They break you mentally and you look for a way out. Check back after the fight. You will see. Volk won't be finished by the second round.
@@richarddawson5836 yeah, yeah, yeah. But saying Volk has 0% chance is absurd.
Also, Usman and Israel did not get sloppy. Their opponents set them up and executed. It wasn’t just some lucky one in a million shot.
