A Message To Alexander Volkanovski. Do NOT Fight In January!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 ноя 2024
- In this video I discuss Alexander Volkanovski's recent comments about not wanting to take time off after getting knocked out by Islam Makhachev at UFC 294. I think that he should simply extend his training camp for Ilia Topuria for a few months & fight at UFC 300. He should use the next few months to skill build. What Do you guys think? Let me know in the comments.

This is where his management, teammates and family need to step in. Have Volk fight at UFC 300. Let him improve his defense and submission skills before hard sparring. He can treat this like a 5 month training camp that slowly ramps up in intensity.
Volk is getting old
Agree, Volk spoke as a Champion who loves challenging himself at all time, you are right, his family and management need to look after him and persuade him to take rest about 6months then come back strong.
That is the option for the great Volk.
I agree january is too soon march time id say is best
He’s embarrassed by his performance so his ego is demanding him to come back

We need to get this message to volk !
facts!
@@lucastracymma8764 He tried a weight class above, got a kick in the head, got emotional in post. That's it. Grow some balls buddy. 90% of UFC fighters have been knocked out. It's his firs time.
It's funny you said to Volk "work on your defense, offensive grappling and work on your submission game man" That's funny as hell.
You're all over the place man.
@@ChrisLawn Volks first loss was a KO. Pretty bad one actually, comparable with this one
@@ChrisLawn Why do you believe Lucas should consider his stance on Volk taking a break? All the points he raised regarding Volk's decision to take a break are valid. If Volk were to suffer another KO at the hands of Ilia, it could potentially lead to severe health consequences. The argument about offensive grappling is bs Ilia is levels above Volk when it comes to both offensive and defensive grappling.
@@Henning00007tko
Bro you predicted Volk’s career better than anyone else so far 😅
thats cause hes the number one volk fan on youtube
Only Volk and Islam break the Lucas Tracy curse
Alexander The Great walking in the footsteps of his predecessor, he needs to learn how to slow down.
Facts. The lesson is right in front of him.
He already slow down after such a crazy lose that’s why he is in hurry to prove him self but this will take him more and more down I don’t think so he is the same as he was. Respect to Alex and Islam both are great but both aren’t greatest.
Alexander the Great never lost.
Wtf how is Alexander his predecessor . Volkonovski isn't Macedonia origin .lmao
@@bendover7841 yeah I know, but he came close a couple times (Persian Gates w/Darius and one of the Indian Kings). What I meant was that Alexander had a history of neglecting his health much like Volk. Besides even if he’s lost I’d say he stills lives up to the name in the context of MMA
It’s a sport where it’s very hard to keep your 0
Say whatever you will about LT's picks or opinions on certain fighters. Whats undoubted is the man's level of heart and respect when it comes to these fighters. Wherein MMA Guru you'll get brash opinions & armchair technical analysis on fights, Rigo for the comedy & memes, and MMA Joey for...something, we'll always have Lucas for having the heart OF MMA RUclips.

Soy boys need a mma channel too , everyone gets a that a boy 👦
Can’t stand the weasel dude
Volk is feeling that pressure of being older and having to chase greatness after getting a late start. A lot of other all-time great fighters don’t have to feel that, and I’m sure it’s extremely hard to fathom after having such a long career in sports prior to training MMA. That being said, ensuring a couple more wins for legacy is more important than risking a couple losses. I think even in January Volk will destroy Topuria, but Topuria has a lot more than just a puncher’s chance. I hope he takes the time off.
the most important thing you said is that topuria has a helluva lot more than just a punchers chance. hes a legit killer with devastating ko power, more than volk tbh. under 99% of circumstances volk wins, but if they fight in january volk is losing. you dont get back to who you were after getting kod like that in 2 months
topuria is so fucking good, in my opinion it's a mistake fight in January
Volk has the best resume in UFC history.
@@draza9000*had .... Islam broke Saltynovski and took his soul with that head kick KO.
@@draza9000 big cap
Me and all my homies love lucas 🙏🏽
Volk admitted that his judgement was wrong in accepting the short notice Makhachev fight, so why is he trusting his own judgment on fighting Topuria in January? Someone needs to talk to him.
never said that kid so nope
u know so much more than volk be quite
He said the opposite, again in new video. You’re talking about a reporter grilling him moments afterwards expecting baiting him to concede he shouldn’t took the fight . Pretty sure he still said MAYBE “ I shouldn’t took fight .
@@RcPlayer-tt2vwhe definitely said maybe for quite a few things. In the heat of the moment he was still processing everything. After days of doing that, he's made his decision. I respect it
I am pretty sure volk saw your video
he addressed a lot of points of your video like Mental Health,Not fighting in jan,Finding other love after MMA,knowing about his legacy
Kudos to you too
He adressed them b4 this vid came out
@@xeta180 m talkin bout that previous video only😐
"volk saw your video" means he(volk) saw that PREVIOUS video of lucas where lucas put up those points
and volk addressed em in his new video
i didn't mention THIS particular video anywhere
no he adressed the press conferance
@@gaurav7142 okay
if volk wants motivation, he should train for some bjj event in jan, and fight ilia at ufc 300
That's why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique
Cringe
Gay
Not this shit again...
That's why Leon Edwards is the most cringiest gay.
Agreed. Absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to be active, i respect that. But there is no reason to rush into fights, sacrifice your health, just to please the company and fit their schedule
bruh volk is not doing it to please the company but himself
thing is Volk is too old for FW anyway but he is heavily on that CKB PED sauce just like Izzy. Volk is so obviously on EPO lmao. Him and Izzys PED cycling may also explain their weird emotional behavior and their activeness. No champ fought more than Izzy, I wonder why... also he was Danas favorite boy, he could always choose his opponents. Sterling never could, cuck O Malley can literally choose Chito as his 1. defense because he is by far the worst fighter and by far the easiest fight lmao UFC is a joke only about money nun else
Get up babe, it’s LucasTracy!
My wife woke me up and gathered the family in our entertainment room. We all sit in silence and watch every LucasTracyMMA video, and we all take notes.
I think he should take a few months break as well, if he still wants to compete he can always do some jiujitsu tournaments during his downtime to stay active and fit .
Good on you bro for putting out this important message. Left a comment on his UFC 294 recap to check out this video. Really hope he sees this and at least considers your perspective.
At this point
Lucas wants to be adopted by Volk
Yo what 😂😂😂💀
@@lucastfitness7299
I know you want it dawg😏
You would've shaved your head if Volk would've defeated Islam😄
same happened to usman after 1st leon knockout.. he rushed the rematch without warmup he was so below his level in the 2nd and now with a 3rd loss in a row he is doubting himself at least psychologically it's over..
time and age beats everyone, no matter how skill and tough you think you are. We all know what happened to tony ferguson. He is a shell of what he used to be in his prime. Hopefully volkanovski won't go to the same route.
January vs Ilia isn’t happening. I’m surprised his medical suspension hasn’t been officially announced yet, but I have heard rumors that he got 45 days. That brings us to early December. How are they gonna book a guy in December fresh off a medical suspension for a fight in January? Fights are typically announced a few months in advance. The earliest he fights again is March-April.
Source?
“Talk to doctors, make sure there’s no concussion”
Brother Volk, I’m no doctor and I can 100% confirm you did get a concussion. Why the fuck is he saying this shit, it’s going from inspiring to scary delusional. He’s going to manifest the very thing he fears most: the end of his career as a champion. Classic story I guess. Fuck, this is frustrating as a fan.
Reaching cry more tho
@@krayzyelfenomeno04what are you talking about? R u a bot?
@@g8trg8tr30even worse, he’s a Muslim bot
We should honestly start a hashtag for volk to not fight in January and get it to trend. Ik it’s probably too much, but if this was to show that those who support and love him, surely he’ll come around.
#Volk300
I guess Volk is a man who needs to learn from his own mistakes. I just hope it doesn't end his career or with him deleting himself.
A real fan will face the hard truths and, unfortunately, this is one of them. Volk is a generational talent, but it’s hard not to be concerned with such a quick turnaround against someone as dangerous as Ilia.
I sent the video to CKB , Izzy , Volk & Freestyle MMA nd FMMA liked the msg hopefully they get it to Volk and he listens
Ilia will shock the world🤝
good idea ... I think volk said what he said just to keep the energy and because he loves the image he shows us as a BA whoe's ready anytime ... but soon he'll announce that the doctors comfirmed that he is not ready ... I think this is what's gonna happen
I completely agree with you man, I felt bad for him. If he fights in January, he would be knocked out.
Ilia is no joke. Volk will get wobbled again and potentially submitted
he should totally take off until january. like, naturally maintenance training and skill building, but not "in camp" , then return to camp in jan. to fight in UFC 300. I think that's a great idea. And look, I understand he has a bit of a problem when he is out of camp, but he needs to find a way to deal with that OUTSIDE of fighting or training. That is 100% obviously the issue. Tackle that problem directly, rather than avoiding by just taking more fights - maybe get a therapist or sports-psychologist to help work on yourself. He absolutely needs a new hobby. A lack of fights is not the problem - the "out of camp" problem needs to be addressed itself and fixed or it's going to plague him eventually no mater what.
Money solves all of this, if the UFC Was giving a bigger cut to these championship fighter's a lot of them would fight far less. I understand not just opening the checkbook for everyone but your Champion should make no less than 3-5 million per fight.
I feel like everyone gives Lucas a hard time for no reason I understand a lot of his main event predictions didn’t make sense it even had me confused at times but as of recent I agree with a lot of his takes. All love bro❤️
You're very knowledgeable and very balanced. Subscribed
Lucastracy collabing with izzy to save volk would be crazy
But jokes aside
Izzy is a guy that often talks about mental health importance and considering that he took a break himself now and is a guy who really cares about his friends and family
I think he will for sure talk with Volk about the current situation and maybe give Volk some advice there
@@RealMrSmile he's not completely a dpgshit person just mostly
Here's an idea, how about they make iterim belt at 145, between Ilia and someone, and Volk fight a bit later with Justin for the BMF. This might be a good plan B, and should keep him still connected with 155, as he wants.
The thing is Volk is over. He will lose to Topuria if he will accept the fight in January. Even Makhachev said after fight UFC 294 - “No way the fighter will be the same after KO”
so how is islam doing right now after getting tkod
pure muscle memory will take topuria out
This is one of the worse things that can happen to a fighter who never lost by K.O, one defeat and everything change
@@Leonardo-vj3hmdumb comparison, islam was tko'ed in his youth while he was still fresh and good to go(majority of fighters can bounce back in that situation) while volk is already 35 yo and probably has 2/3 years to compete until he starts going down... Getting Ko'd at this stage of his career is very bad and he would be delusional if he thinks he can bounce back quickly... If he takes the fight against tuporia in January i guarantee you that after 2 years or so we will be talking about how islam ended volk's prime.
@@andreneumann1976He’s lost by Ko before, same thing as well, head-kick from taller fighter. Tuporia will be a challenge but hopefully if he isn’t concussed and wants to continue in January he beats Tuporia ass
Contratulations to Ilia Topuria for becomming the new featherweight champ. Cant wait for the Volk rematch.
I love the stern opinions you have bro
Volk won't tap Illia, look at what Tuporia did to 2 high level grapplers in Mitchall and Hall. He should def not fight again 10 weeks after that KO and super short weight cut.
ye, I even left him a message under his video, just saying that January is around the corner, wishing him all well and good rest
I think it's his wife, expensive taste and family life of supporting/giving a nice life to his kids is making him do dumb shit revolving around just money. Also making videos/investing your life in Logan Paul and Mark Zuckerberg training sessions is not the best use of your time. Enough with the "trying to be famous" and racking up stupid money mindset, get back to basics Volk. And lastly, throw that cringe Prime necklace in the trash or give it to a homeless person to pawn, it's terrible.
Lol, what? Do you live with him and his family?
@@db1777 he's obviously thirsty for money. There's no other reason to train Suckerberg
You wanna blame Volk for making money?
Come on dude, get outta here
The man got kids and a family and gets a big load of cash for holding up Logan's Pauls goofy battle for a few seconds
Can you blame him?
@@alexanderbakulin8836
Nothing to blame in my eyes
The man recently got his third kid and got a family to provide for
@@alexanderbakulin8836they're prize fighters what the fuck do you want from them😂
you just sit and talk, let the man work for his family
Be quiet bro
FR
@@lucastfitness7299cope
W take
I feel like even if he believes it with his whole heart he should at least put it back to March. Make Dana forbid him to fight
“I need to talk to the doctors to make sure there’s no concussion” Um Volk, getting sparked, and pounded unconscious means you received a concussion, don’t think you need a doctor for that assessment.
head shot knockout needs to wait, your on it homie
it was definitely painful watching him ko'ed despite rooting for islam and i absolutely dont want to see it again let alone soon i hope he understands this and doesnt fight skill for skill he is better than ilia but you shouldnt gamble it with a power puncher
you cant blame em for doing the thing that made you like him in the first place. volk fights often and like to destroy opponents, you cant tell to just stop because he might lose a fight
Ofc you can telll him to take time off. He can't go on with his same mentality forever. He needs to adapt with his age
Please Volk🙏🏾
He is making excuses and not taking his loss like a man
What
Volk said he gets in his own head if he doesn’t fight and his purpose is fighting it’s depressing
Volk needs to compete, he will unravel mentally if he doesn't. So if not a UFC fight he should compete in grappling or even some other random sport like triathlon.
100% agree. I would LOVE to see Volk fight at UFC 300!!! Also give his brain some time to heal and he could still get 3 fights this year.
If Volk truly is not in it for money, somebody really need to tell him that resting is part of the fights & it would be pretty disrespectful to fight in a match, knowingly that you're not in your peak condition both mentally & physically.
You took the words right out of my mouth when I saw his vlog. It seemed rude to address this there where he's getting love and support, which the guy deserves, but right now that's not what Volk needs. He needs time to train and condition.
AGREE 💯
We'll see
Ngl Lucas talking facts in this one
Ilia salivating his lips if its in Jan 😂😂
As a Makhachev fan, I say leave volk if he says he will beat tuporia I know the champ will
Khabib is the most dominant fighter in the mma history. He never lost a fight in his career. He never lost a round in his career. 29-0 in mma. 13-0 in ufc. 3 title defences ( it is the most in the ufc lightweight devision history). 4 title fight wins. No cheating. No drugs. No steroids. No controversy. Always humble. Always kind. Nice personality. Always speaks the truth. 9 knock outs. 9 submissions. 11 decision wins. The favourite fighter of gsp. The favourite fighter of dc. The favourite fighter of dj. He defeated justin, dustin, rda, conor, barboza, al iaquinta, trujillo, tibau and Michael Johnson. He is a goat in mma.
Make this pop off, so it reaches Volk
I came here to say “hey let the man fight” but then you just wanted him to extend the fighting camp and fight in march on an epic event. so your idea is actually really great? I hope ufc book him for ufc 300 like you suggested here
LET HIM COOK
Bro he’s gonna talk to the doctors his family and if he’s physically OK he’s going to do whatever he wants, just shut up! Everyone has opinions and you know the rest!!!
Lmao what a childish mentality. “Let him do what he wants”
I’m all for volk fighting in January, my favorite fighter is ilia and I believe for training camp or not, he beats volk.
Your spot on mate! I dont understand how his team managers etc have no balls or no iq to realize this and tell him to wait it out ffs... i mean he made bank with this last fight.. take a page outta jjones book
Volk feels best when he keeps moving. He will not take a break.
he don‘t know you lil bro☠️
Tbh I think it’s just kind of time for a change of the guard happened for welterweight, lightweight, middleweight, and bantam weight. So I kind of hope he fights Illia in January
You heartless 😢
He didn’t get chinned. He got hit to the temple.
I wouldn't totally count him out, Sandhagen detailed this in his recap. He wasn't badly concussed or anything, he took a shot that screwed up his equilibrium more than anything and sent him wobbly because of it.
However I totally agree with the broader point. No shortcuts for this one, cut the shit.
just to comment on wut u said about ilia the dude's ground game is top notch dont sleep at him it wont surprise me if ilia tests his gg on volk
As much as I want to see him on that January card in Toronto, Canada which is in my hometown. I hope he takes time off but I doubt he will. We will likely see him in january.
Man this could really be the beginning of the end for him. Incoming 5 fight skid if he doesn't rest up
That jumpscare in the first seconds tho
Facts
Izzy needs to stop Drunk driving and tell Volk to take a vacation with him
I dont know why but seeing volk get knocked out made me really happy even though im a fan of the guy
if he doesnt fill the void in fighting we could be talking about deppression and you know what its a real problem
I believe Volk, with a training camp, he will be fine, it's 3 months to the day...3 months is probably fine for him...
“Probably” Exactly, he could be guaranteed good if he waits longer.
Alex is close friends with Izzy so I hope he gets to talking and realize that taking a step back is good for them. We all appreciate active champions but a 2.5 month turn around is too quick after getting KO’d and coming off surgery.
agree
Tony Ferguson 2.0
tony got beating for all 5 rounds and gaethje took his soul, volk just got early ko
i want him to be healthy for UFC 300 i feel like he should wait until then
Volk knows himself more then you bro let the man do as he feels is best for him i think hell come back better hes not the type of guy to not come back hungry after that
Very wrong. Someone don't always know about themselves. We need outside & objective perspectives. Case in point, most of addiction cases & things like workaholic are people who thought they know about themselves, who thought they can control it, who thought they can get away from their consequences.
I’m pretty sure if he takes a break, that’ll be the time he retires and he won’t come back
What an extra 2 months ?!?
Bro I commented already in Volk channel saying don’t underestimate toupria ☝️
Islam said already if his team, Volk smart then he need to take rest.
I know Volk ego got hurt thats why he wants to show his power against toupria but it’s hard for him.
Don't really see why he can't build skills in camp. Surely skills used vs Holloway3 should be a large part of success. Also, Jan fight supports three fights in 2024 which is what he wants.
Tweet this video out to Volk
Doesn’t this man have a newborn baby? BRO TAKE CARE OF KID HELP YOUR WIFE. He can train and do things from day to day without fighting man just take a few months off to train and sharpen up on some things.
Bro literally islam himself told you to take some time off and u still want to fight in January
Not a bad idea to wait until 300 but I don’t think his wrestling is gonna improve that much with two extra months to get his first sub over topuria
volk should time some time off to work on his crafty skills as a vet
Facts!!!
I'm not sure why getting headkicked by an elite talent a head taller than him means he's going to get his lights punched out by a wrestler smaller than him.
It might reduce his chin, make him hesitant, or make his reactions slower due to lasting concussion problems
UFC need to make sure he doesnr fight until March. Cos Volj is an addict sadly
He’s turning 36, I don’t see him doing more than 2-3 fights. He’s finished.
He was Not Out Cold.And I think the weight Cut was Just to brutal in this couple days
Volk learning submissions will not guarantee results. His striking is elite, he is already on track with that, both defensively and other. He just needs to stop fighting Islam and moving weight-classes. He is going to remind the world of his greatness in his next fight.
There is a very easy argument for Volk headlining 300. Jones is out, the interim belt for heavyweight will be too soon. The current champs at Flyweight, Bantamweight and Middlweight couldn’t headline such a large event. Depending on how Leon vs Colby and Alex vs Jericho goes, they may not be ready to fight again. The only possible fights I could see is Conor vs Chandler and Islam vs Charles 2. You can argue 300 doesn’t even need McGreger to sell it so Islam v Charles could sell it. Then again Islam rarely fights so I think there’s a greater chance Volk vs Ilia could def headline that
May be coping here buuutttt...Volk did go up a weight class 12 days notice against (possibly) the Greatest LW fighter since Khabib Nurmagomedov. So I think Alex can withstand
Ilia Topuria, he's still the Featherweight King in my eyes.
Volk should just take some time off like Izzy in let max Holloway and tuporia fight for the interim featherweight belt
