Definitely got a new fan here Islam 👏 great champ amazing fight thank you for coming to AUSTRALIA and allowing us to witness 1 of the greatest fights ever ❤
@chen Chan Really mature you’re a credit to your country as for your comment on racism Islam stated himself he was treated with respect and kindness while here in Australia even though it was hostile but never to the point of racism so disrespectful and disgusting for you to call the race card. If only Russia could show that same compassion to UKRAINE 🇺🇦.
@chen Chan And you talk about fighters fighting against biased crowds every single time Alexander volkanovski has fought outside Australia especially America he is constantly disrespected booed and never given the respect he deserves that’s a fact. But hey you obviously don’t care about facts 🤷🏻♂️
Notice how every time he goes back to Dagestan and does this press conference, he always gives the belt to his father. He did the same thing after beating Charles too.
What do you mean Islam won today it seems bias towards fighters from Dagestan is always a problem but thankfully Islam got justice and the judges done right by him. Congratulations Islam ❤️
@@Robrulz666icloud way to deflect. “Bias” its not, its the same on both sides, both who disagree and just blame each othe on bias. Its simple that people have different opinions, you may favor wrestling other may favor damage, its just like that
His contentment is on another level despite all the haters, tarnishing, slandering and false accusation. No amount of Gym training can make him to that level state of mind. That's a real champ inside and out.

Speak for yourself. P4P Number 1 isn't decided likebthat. If he want that title he should go up a weight class. You can't stay at your own weight and claim you're p4p the best in the world and expect people to come up or down to you to fight. Makes no sense.
@Emrullah Atlıkan again it doesn't work like that. It's a hypothetical idea that if this fighter was able to fight in other weight classes how would he do? The problem is that he didn't just run through Volk. He's the best grappler in the UFC but he couldn't submit someone who according to him and many others doesn't have any grappling even though he had Volks back for about 3min! Adding to that Volk came up to Islam's weight. He either needed to destroy Volk or he needs to go up a weight class. Either way he's a great fighter, just not P4P Number 1
@humbleservant it would be different and undeniable if the p4p number 1 was in a weight class above him. Instead a much smaller guy came up to test himself against the champ and gave him a pretty close fight. Islam is great as a great lightweight champion but he fought a smaller guy and made that guy come up to his weight. I don't think you understand the sport

They said "Loser makes excuses and winner making history". After Alex lost and then came out Dan Hooker with his accusation about lV thing without bringing any evidence. And Volkanovski doing interview on Ariel Helwani show also follow up the accusations about that IV thing without any evidence. For me that's the type of loser. I don't think Islam Makhachev should give them rematch. Nothing to gain after all. Volkanovski fight only for entertainment not for P4P, because he clearly makes excuses even after he lost to Islam Makhachev.
It's very sad to see and i feel very bad for lslam. He risked his belt and winning streak and now after the fight It feels like a loss to lslam. I really hope he doesn't give that short guy a rematch in as much i want lslam to smash him so bad because i know lslam had a terrible weight cut and didn't had enough time to recover.

Personally if islam agrees to a rematch it should be in abu dabi, to take all the risk for no reward even if you win is not sensible. Mashallah congrats on the win and the respectful response
i see ppl saying it was all risk and no reward for islam, but isn’t it still a title defense? idk why ppl are acting like he gained nothing from winning, he gets a title defense and gets to keep the belt, that’s how it goes for every single champ lol.
Islam was in a no-win situation. He couldn't win a belt since the featherweight title wasn't on the line. And even if he dominated the fight his critics would say he picked on a smaller guy therefore he gets no credit.
Plus, the figt was competitve.....thats a big flop for him....but Haters like this and use every bias narrative as much as possible to deny his winning.....to bad....lets go Islam...head up...move forward
Volk used to be 215 lbs and walks around normally comfortably at 180, the fact that he fights at 145 makes him the definition of a weight bully, which I don't believe in, but the point I'm making is that him fighting at 155 is nothing special for a man that has already established he can compete at the top of the UFC. Also being short means nothing as it actually worked to Alex' favor. He won a competitive fight and it was on agreed-upon rules and terms. He deserves what was wagered ever since he submitted Oliveira - the number 1 p4p ranking in exchange for winning the fight against Volk IN AUSTRALIA.
@@mathprodigy Fucking this I swear if Islam was American, british, or Irish no one would call him a weight bully and it doesn't help he's friends with khabib. Like you'll never hear people call dustin, chandler, charles, dan, beneil, justin, or tony a weight bully even though they do the exact same thing. Mma fans suck.
Congrats Islam with your 1st Title defense! You made it an amazing super fight! Islam is 100% rightful winner no matter what other people say. There are always haters who spread lies and accusations and only idiots accept and believe such lies! Islam Makhachev is honorable with high integrity, he doesn't go low like Dan Hooker and other his buddies! Dan and other haters can focus only on winners. ❤😍
If performance was factored into the ranking even if you lose, Kamaru Usman's p4p ranking should have stayed the same. He was rag-dolling Leon till the last moment.
He didn't appear rattled by the question about the IV in any way and his explanation is verifiable. If Dan Hooker doesn't provide his proof soon, then he owes Islam and his team a huge public apology. Total class in the interview. Awesome hometown people there to welcome their champion home. That's awesome.
@@yassroa The court of God is better. Dan's already on a downward spiral and unless he repents he will not be blessed for slandering decent people. Just look at Conor McGregor, all the money in the world can't buy you peace, health and contentment.
What treaty or deal has our organizations ever honored---ZERO...I didn't expect justice either, but congratulations...I wouldn't give Volk a rematch after him saying he won and you cheated...NO WAY...The humility, respect and honor that Islam displays makes him the best fighter in all regards....
Ahhh . . . No. . . He cheated . . Then lied about cheating . . And you blame his cheating on others perceptions of his nationality . . . C'mon fellas . . I thought you were real men? . . . No wonder khabib walked away from this farce . . . No respect or glory to cheaters. God bless you.
It's just not between Islam and UFC. It's between UFC and eagle fc. They know after these dagestani fighters get their UFC championship they will form a huge mma community and eventually drag the whole community to eagle FC.... That's why they are making it difficult for these guys to come up in general not just Islam. And new UFC signings are also very few for these Russian guys... They are trying to shift the limelight from Russia to anywhere else they can shift the attention to... Australia, Brazil, UK... They just know khabib is becoming a bigger name as the day goes by. And they want to take the credit and discussion away from khabib n his dagestani crew and change the narrative.
Ufc and volk fan really made this fight as "fighting an old man". If you wjn you are bully, if you lose you suck, if you are having a hard time then you lose because its an old man.

@1:12 I made the same exact point before watching this, glad they are noticing, UFC's anti-Russia xenophobia and bias will only make a clown show of the league and open up opportunities for other promotions. There is also an overall bias against wrestling style, from both fans and the org, which is crazy considering the sport is Mixed Martial Arts. Its not just the Russians, biases are all over the organisation, its a game of favourites all over - fans, judges, senior management everything, if they don't like you or don't want to win you're fucked regardless of what you do in the cage unfortunately. You can expect fans to be biased but when the org itself play 'the game of favourites' you ruin the credibility of the league. The UFC will keep running the show like soyboys and Ngannou won't be the only talent to exile himself from the org.

They should be grateful but Instead they disrespect him & accused him of cheating. What a sore loser they are.
@@andrewtate8466 why would he cry? Islam won the fight Volk is on a losing streak and back to the small man division. You so angry and upset you commenting all over. Cope and seethe bro, cope and seethe. Islam the best 😅😊😊😊😊
After all the hate that’s thrown at him, he still remain humble. Best way of saying “let the haters hate” lol Still. We want that rematch with Volkanovski asap! Love how Islam and Volkanovski did it. No trash talk. Just straight up performance. And that is why we demand a rematch asap!
Who is we? Speak for yourself mate. Volk spread rumours afterwards and is not taking the loss well. He should earn a 2nd title shot like everyone else. islam has nothing to prove.
Imagine if Islam gets the Rematch in Abu Dhabi, let's see how good volk will do the 2nd time without the shorter rehydration window that Islam had to deal with in Australia
its only a shorter re-hydration period because one fighter is sleeping during his rehydration hours therefore has fewer awake hours to hydrate, u can always purposefully alter your sleeping pattern prior to flying to another country to adjust for this
who cares about Volk now, he clearly didn't have anything on the line like he was claiming to "Iam putting my p4p title on the line". Hopefully Dana makes a good decision and gives him a good fight.
@@SHERMA. by no way the difference is bcoz of sleeping lol. What a 🤡 There is 24+-hours gap between weighing n fight night in Australia. While 36+-hours in US or AbuDhabi
Incredible fight respect to both fighters. Congrats on the win of course there room for improvement, humble guy a true professional of the sport, great interview.
Islam is best fighter in the world regardless who says so he won and make him the best .the judges judged it right doesn't matter who wins and losses in UFC they say this everytime there's a match the judges rigged fight.
Islam impressed me again by defeating Volk. I don't know why the entire world underestimated Volk. I thought Volk would win easily by a knockout, Islam all full of blood, face cut to pieces. Islam is a good fighter. Now Islam has defeated 2 people, only 2. There's more to go before considering him great.
Couple of bruises and a black eye in the last minute of the 5 rn, volk also has a deep cut in his eyebrow. volk is short but full and strong people keep saying that he got beaten by a short guy making it sime like a disadvantage for volk while it's not. If u rewatch the fight u will see that the most powerful strikes where done by islam and on the ground volk just defended himself expect one round when he manage to land some shots while on his back. In the end volk is a fucking beast and soo strong and islam defeated two champs not just to people👍
Yep. He got his hand raised, got his LW belt, got his 100k win bonus. Ended Volks win streak in his territory. Australian judges made the right decisions this time.
Imagine if he had Abdulmanap and Khabib in his corner for this fight. He could have made much more adjustment during the fight, with those two in his corner, not just from a moral pov but from technical pov
i’m someone who put money on islam to win, and even then i personally scored it for volk. but i have the sense to know well that i am not an mma judge, and for the ufc to not let the winner of a match promoted to decide who’s p4p #1 not have the ranking is insane. the man got his hand raised and a belt around his waist give him the ranking he worked hard and traveled across the world for. respect to him for keeping it classy but i think he should turn full heel in the media after this. if they aren’t going to respect him he should lean into the joking side of him who talks about australian wrestling 😂

Personally if islam agrees to a rematch it should be in abu dabi, to take all the risk for no reward even if you win is not sensible. Mashallah congrats on the win and the respectful response
i see ppl saying it was all risk and no reward for islam, but isn’t it still a title defense?
idk why ppl are acting like he gained nothing from winning, he gets a title defense and gets to keep the belt, that’s how it goes for every single champ lol.
💯
are you muslim afraid to fight anywhere else? i think so, Volk anytime anywhere he is going to smesh your islam😉👊
Champ Champ Volk still #1 P4P😇😇
@@andrewtate8466 another clueless casual
It should be in a neutral place like the t-mobile arena because both of them already got the chance to fight in their home countries.
Islam was in a no-win situation. He couldn't win a belt since the featherweight title wasn't on the line. And even if he dominated the fight his critics would say he picked on a smaller guy therefore he gets no credit.
Plus, the figt was competitve.....thats a big flop for him....but Haters like this and use every bias narrative as much as possible to deny his winning.....to bad....lets go Islam...head up...move forward
You're 100% right my friend
Volk used to be 215 lbs and walks around normally comfortably at 180, the fact that he fights at 145 makes him the definition of a weight bully, which I don't believe in, but the point I'm making is that him fighting at 155 is nothing special for a man that has already established he can compete at the top of the UFC. Also being short means nothing as it actually worked to Alex' favor. He won a competitive fight and it was on agreed-upon rules and terms. He deserves what was wagered ever since he submitted Oliveira - the number 1 p4p ranking in exchange for winning the fight against Volk IN AUSTRALIA.
@@mathprodigy Fucking this I swear if Islam was American, british, or Irish no one would call him a weight bully and it doesn't help he's friends with khabib. Like you'll never hear people call dustin, chandler, charles, dan, beneil, justin, or tony a weight bully even though they do the exact same thing. Mma fans suck.
@@mathprodigy Let's also remember Volk originally was a ww so the fact he ran to fw looks worse
A True champion
Why is he crying victim 😭😭 what a 🤡
THE TRUE AND ONLY P4P
😂🤣🤡
Islam defeated the P4P king. Alexander the great in his territory!
💯 Islam ☝ the real pfp 👑

Congrats Islam with your 1st Title defense! You made it an amazing super fight! Islam is 100% rightful winner no matter what other people say.
There are always haters who spread lies and accusations and only idiots accept and believe such lies! Islam Makhachev is honorable with high integrity, he doesn't go low like Dan Hooker and other his buddies! Dan and other haters can focus only on winners.

Beat best LW champ beat FW (p4p#1)champ in 3 months time

For me it's very easy. Volk said with his own words pound for pound on the line. Islam is number 1
Lost all respect for volk went against his word not man enough to stand up and say it Sour loser
For money Macedonians sold their country,so Aleksandar can say anything Anglo-Saxon wants.
Islam is so humble
If performance was factored into the ranking even if you lose, Kamaru Usman's p4p ranking should have stayed the same. He was rag-dolling Leon till the last moment.
It’s not the same usman was unconscious during the fight
Islam and Volkanovski are not in the same division.
Exactly 💯 Leon won and Islam won ALL THE SAME
@@Jesussat55js when they fought?😅
@@mountainleopard5370 all the SAME, Leon won, Islam won
He didn't appear rattled by the question about the IV in any way and his explanation is verifiable. If Dan Hooker doesn't provide his proof soon, then he owes Islam and his team a huge public apology. Total class in the interview. Awesome hometown people there to welcome their champion home. That's awesome.
He should sue him in the court.

Alhamdulillah for islam
Islam is the best fighter in the world. He will not lose his belt until he retires. Just like undefeated legend Khabib.
Thanks for sharing. This is REAL Fighter with HONOR and a TRUE Champion 🏆
That's a role model there for every human being on the planet let alone MMA fighters.
Thank you for the subtitles. You got a new sub thank you 😊
What treaty or deal has our organizations ever honored---ZERO...I didn't expect justice either, but congratulations...I wouldn't give Volk a rematch after him saying he won and you cheated...NO WAY...The humility, respect and honor that Islam displays makes him the best fighter in all regards....
Too much politics and jealousy. Islam deserves to be P4P mumber 1 now. He beat Alex and Oliveira, and has even beaten more ranked opponents than Alex.
He's Russian that's the problem currently
Ahhh . . . No. . . He cheated . . Then lied about cheating . . And you blame his cheating on others perceptions of his nationality . . . C'mon fellas . . I thought you were real men? . . . No wonder khabib walked away from this farce . . . No respect or glory to cheaters. God bless you.
It's just not between Islam and UFC. It's between UFC and eagle fc.
They know after these dagestani fighters get their UFC championship they will form a huge mma community and eventually drag the whole community to eagle FC....
That's why they are making it difficult for these guys to come up in general not just Islam.
And new UFC signings are also very few for these Russian guys... They are trying to shift the limelight from Russia to anywhere else they can shift the attention to... Australia, Brazil, UK...
They just know khabib is becoming a bigger name as the day goes by. And they want to take the credit and discussion away from khabib n his dagestani crew and change the narrative.
@@m2k2023 that's possibly the reason. I just know them Daggies are rolling thru people in other divisions also
@@jking5662 no proof he cheated. But ride Hookerz nuts
Ufc and volk fan really made this fight as "fighting an old man". If you wjn you are bully, if you lose you suck, if you are having a hard time then you lose because its an old man.

You are clueless. Islam should not call Volk small and weak. It was too disrespectful
Islam is so chilled and cool as a cucumber!
big respect to the champ.. ufc is just politic.. thats why many fighter get out... like nganou.
CONDUCTS HIMSELF LIKE A TRUE RESPECTABLE CHAMPION. HATERS TAKE NOTE, OR MAY B, IT ALL FLYS OVER UR HEADS.
IF Islam agrees to a rematch. It should be UFC Russia, the right way to do P4P rematch.
In should be in Abu Dhabi. The Majority ethnic Russians don’t support and hate the minority dagestanis in Russia
@@TBE99 is it not possible in Dagestan. Or is there an Arena problem in Dagestan. Hopefully this time they go for whatever they like.

We don't have to settle on an exact place just yet. Volk and Islam both need to defend. Show they're still top.

@@TBE99 u r talking rubbish. Russians loves Dagestanis, their countrymen.
@@rpaul23455 You’re clueless. The minority Dagestanis are constantly abused by the majority ethnic Russians and are never at peace. Dagestani people want their own republic. Their situation is similar to the Uyghurs and the majority Han ethnic Chinese in China.

For Islam no matter what it's always going to be Alhumdulillah! 👊✊❤️
@1:12 I made the same exact point before watching this, glad they are noticing, UFC's anti-Russia xenophobia and bias will only make a clown show of the league and open up opportunities for other promotions. There is also an overall bias against wrestling style, from both fans and the org, which is crazy considering the sport is Mixed Martial Arts. Its not just the Russians, biases are all over the organisation, its a game of favourites all over - fans, judges, senior management everything, if they don't like you or don't want to win you're fucked regardless of what you do in the cage unfortunately. You can expect fans to be biased but when the org itself play 'the game of favourites' you ruin the credibility of the league. The UFC will keep running the show like soyboys and Ngannou won't be the only talent to exile himself from the org.
It’s not surprising. People like to watch people punch and knockout, not wrestle. So it’s understandable.
@@decimalexercise7154 Ok no problem, then change the UFC from MMA to Kickboxing, would you go to a Chinese place and complain about duck?
@@decimalexercise7154 Organisations should be run without bias and the best should get the chance to prove they are the best regardless of their style
@@decimalexercise7154 it’s MMA not boxing. If people wanna see solely standup and knockouts then they should watch boxing. Anyway islam had the better stand up in this fight so that shouldn’t even be up for a debate.

To hell to the haters , his own father is very proud of him .
Bravo Islam! In just 4 months he beat two champions!
Alexander Volkanovski team don't respect or even appreciate Islam how he gave Volkanovski opportunity to be double champ, put his belt on the line, flew thousands of miles to enemy territories. They should be grateful but Instead they disrespect him & accused him of cheating. What a sore loser they are.
Great points 👏👏
shut up fanboy, these russians were the same way in brazil
Volk didn't say none of this.
Jueni Joni hahaha don't cry too loud
@@andrewtate8466 why would he cry? Islam won the fight
Volk is on a losing streak and back to the small man division. You so angry and upset you commenting all over.
Cope and seethe bro, cope and seethe. Islam the best 😅😊😊😊😊
After all the hate that’s thrown at him, he still remain humble.
Best way of saying “let the haters hate” lol
Still.
We want that rematch with Volkanovski asap!
Love how Islam and Volkanovski did it. No trash talk. Just straight up performance. And that is why we demand a rematch asap!
Who is we? Speak for yourself mate. Volk spread rumours afterwards and is not taking the loss well. He should earn a 2nd title shot like everyone else. islam has nothing to prove.
@@oulangkous718
Ok.
Then who would you have Islam face next?
CHAMPION
Very well said.....
Alhamdulillah Islam is the best
It's great that he's not hung up on the P4P tittle and focuses on what matters. I'm not a UFC person but I watch Islam's journey / progression.
Islam the Legend.
Alhamdulillah !!!!!!!!
Imagine if Islam gets the Rematch in Abu Dhabi, let's see how good volk will do the 2nd time without the shorter rehydration window that Islam had to deal with in Australia
its only a shorter re-hydration period because one fighter is sleeping during his rehydration hours therefore has fewer awake hours to hydrate, u can always purposefully alter your sleeping pattern prior to flying to another country to adjust for this
who cares about Volk now, he clearly didn't have anything on the line like he was claiming to "Iam putting my p4p title on the line". Hopefully Dana makes a good decision and gives him a good fight.
@@SHERMA. then you'd mess up your sleep schedule which will hinder your performance even more
@@SHERMA. by no way the difference is bcoz of sleeping lol. What a 🤡 There is 24+-hours gap between weighing n fight night in Australia. While 36+-hours in US or AbuDhabi
Volk lost in his home town 🙏,if rematch in Russia, u know what happen... Russia..Russia.. Russia
Incredible fight respect to both fighters. Congrats on the win of course there room for improvement, humble guy a true professional of the sport, great interview.
He such a humble person...he so relax and calm when talking, so different with khabib
Islam is best fighter in the world regardless who says so he won and make him the best .the judges judged it right doesn't matter who wins and losses in UFC they say this everytime there's a match the judges rigged fight.
Islam deserves more respect...He just fought agaisnt a guy who is probalby the best fighter ever

P4p snub? That's bullshit.. if volk wants rematch, he need to put up the belt 4 grab too. Cry after a loss, never thought volk would do that.
Exactly my thoughts
100%
Islam impressed me again by defeating Volk. I don't know why the entire world underestimated Volk. I thought Volk would win easily by a knockout, Islam all full of blood, face cut to pieces.
Islam is a good fighter. Now Islam has defeated 2 people, only 2. There's more to go before considering him great.
Couple of bruises and a black eye in the last minute of the 5 rn, volk also has a deep cut in his eyebrow. volk is short but full and strong people keep saying that he got beaten by a short guy making it sime like a disadvantage for volk while it's not. If u rewatch the fight u will see that the most powerful strikes where done by islam and on the ground volk just defended himself expect one round when he manage to land some shots while on his back. In the end volk is a fucking beast and soo strong and islam defeated two champs not just to people👍
Yep. He got his hand raised, got his LW belt, got his 100k win bonus. Ended Volks win streak in his territory. Australian judges made the right decisions this time.
Good fight, don’t let the media tame you brother
A champion acted as a champion, and a loser acted as a loser.
Why would Islam ever take the rematch, the P4P is not in play, Islam can't trust the rigged system.
it’s not a rigged system lmao, you guys are just too dumb to understand what p4p even means 😂
wait after fight you say it is fair game now it is rigged? you people can't make up your mind 😆😆😆

Dana doesn't personally make the p4p list you moron
He deserves respect. Real champ.
Imagine if he had Abdulmanap and Khabib in his corner for this fight. He could have made much more adjustment during the fight, with those two in his corner, not just from a moral pov but from technical pov
Father and son are calm and composed . Hope Islam defends his title in future, too!
A real athlete
i’m someone who put money on islam to win, and even then i personally scored it for volk. but i have the sense to know well that i am not an mma judge, and for the ufc to not let the winner of a match promoted to decide who’s p4p #1 not have the ranking is insane. the man got his hand raised and a belt around his waist give him the ranking he worked hard and traveled across the world for. respect to him for keeping it classy but i think he should turn full heel in the media after this. if they aren’t going to respect him he should lean into the joking side of him who talks about australian wrestling 😂
everyone that doesn't matter said it was for the P4P..the UFC never promoted it that way
@@justinlassiter7671 u serious? just about every promo the ufc put out included the volk call out “lightweight on the line p4p #1 on the line let’s do it”
