Islam just keeps getting better. It's so impressive. His striking is legitimately good & it's not even close to his best asset.
No he just fought a flabby, jiggling around Volk. He shouldn’t have taken the biggest fight in his career not ready. His fans lose here because we will never know if he was truly bettter
@@gamebredduramax71😂😂cry more pls
@@gamebredduramax71He won 2 times now dont cry and give the man some respect
@@gamebredduramax71 Excuse, and keep crying
Sus
11 days, 11 weeks or 11 months notice. A kick that powerful to the head in the first round would have resulted the same KOd. No excuse.
waitin for Dan Hooker to pop up bout IV
Gotta correct you mate: Dan THE Hooker
😂🤣😅
😂😂😂
Dan Hooker is the most SALTY fighter on the roster. This proves Islam was dehydrated in Australia and did not cheat. He just didn't have enough time to rehydrate. Islam is elite and Dan Hooker is a L.
Haha. This is a good one. 😂 Cheers!
🤫 Volk fans pls Remember volk said " no excuses"
They will "No excuses, but..... Yada Yada"
People have to give him his respect, just because you believe his run to the title wasn’t that great doesn’t mean he isn’t elite. This man is GENERATIONAL, Grappling up there with Khabib + improved striking . P4P King once Jones is done 💯🏆
He already should be P4P king. Jon barely fights, and people already respected him to be fair. Almost a 3/1 favorite over Volk.
His run to the title was more impressive than Charles run to the title.
Everybody in lightweight was scared of Islam before he got the belt
He is the king
Crazy how Charles has 21 submission wins and is a 3rd degree Jiu Jitsu black belt yet was submissioned by Makhachev. Volk is one of the best strikers in UFC history yet got beaten on the feet by Makhachev. Being able to beat both of them in a short span of time then knock out a living legend like Volk just shows he's levels above the rest. 13 undefeated win streak. Who needs Sambo right? When you can knock them out on the feet.

10 days notice
@@joshuasmith8862 You shouldn’t need a 2 month camp to last the first round against a guy you’ve already fought this year. This is a conversation if this happened in round 3/4… not the first round… You’re also making excuses Volk never made for himself Mr “If anyone can do it it’s me”
@@joshuasmith8862 10 day? Are you making up lie now?? It was 12 day notice. Also Islam took up the fight on 12 day notice too
😂😂😂😂 Well said
Khabib doesn't lie or act humble, when he said Islam has more potential than him
No you see what a properly hydrated Islam looks like. He's a monster.
Absolutely brother
Been trying to tell everyone, Islam is no joke! Made it look so easy! Thanks for the 5k
11 day notice. Islam won't go fight Leon on a 11 day notice. He scared to move up in weight
Bud Volk had 10 days notice lmaoooo hahahaaha

@@elguapo4268 🤡 🫵🏼
@@elguapo4268Stfu with your excuses. Volk had a full camp the first time (with Islam having a shorter rehydration window) and he still lost. He's 0-2 against Islam and should never sniff another LW title bout while Islam is still champ
Islam is one of the goats now. He has submitted the best grappler and ko'd the best striker. Who else can say that?!? Nobody...
Anybody that has followed the sport longer than a week.
Ummm Charles ain't best grappler.... but yeah
You don't get to be a goat with 2 title defences.
For sure couple more title defence against the top 5 he will easily surpass the khabib legacy
@@Travvv94use your eyes g, his wrestling/grappling was always special but tonight he set up one of the best strikers in the world with a clean ko.
A. Lot of people hating on Makachev are not UFC fans.. they just hate him for his religion..
He should fight Leon Edwards for the welterweight title. Gathje can fight Charles.
Nope.. Gaethje next
@@TreXDeXterI want Gaethje next but Dana said it will be Charles again🤦🏽♂️ People will be questioning Islam after if he beat Charles again that Islam didn't fight top 5 LW besides Charles when Dana just keep giving these Non-stop rematch over & over smh
@@bjp_borz yup..
Who can stop him ? No one .
And it's funny how 155 top dog's besides Gaethje goes quiet... They don't want the smoke
@@TreXDeXtereven Justin acknowledges he has a “mountain to climb” as per his latest tweet.
Abu Dhabi Islam is a mythical figure oh my days. Literally every fight he had in Abu Dhabi was just a brutal display of dominance.
Yep
Facts
The ref asked Volk casual fans after that head kick. where are you ?. They said Aussie Aussie Aussie.
He genuinely deserves that P4P#1 spot.
Islam is better than khabib when it comes to stand up he’s a goat now 🔥🔥
No doubt Islam has more feature and overall a better fighter than khabib but somehow everyone looks ordinary when the fight is against Khabib. if khabib and Islam fight we would probably see the different Islam that we never seen (20-30 percent less effective and sometimes kind of helpless situation) almost everybody have the same story against khabib
@@salmanajamy8626 faxx
@@salmanajamy8626 if the 2 were to fight (which they would never do), i think khabib would have the edge, i think hes a slightly better fighter, but islam is about to eclipse his resume

Crazy knockout
Islam makhachiv......congrats brother
Charles Oliveira preparing for another excuse; breaking his back or something 😎
Charles wants no smoke and I don't blame him
That is one boring fight, with respect
I mean there are much better match ups for Makhachev now.
you act like charles is afraid to lose...
he is getting up there in age.. he is top 10 in the world in his division..
top 10 in the world.. out of 8 billion people...
you act like he backed out of a 2+million dollar payday, because he might lose to another top 10 fighter in the world, that is the champ...
if charles loses against islam, he is still at the same ranking.. nothing really changes, except he gets payed a fat check....
why back out of that???
surely its not fear of nothing changing.... 🤔🤷♂️
im not exactly sure why he was out, i think i recall for a cut...
maybe you cant get cleared to fight, when you already have a huge "diaz size gash" on your eyebrow.....
but lets just chaulk it up as fear...
thats more fun, right???
@@bdc211 quitter doesn’t deserve the title fight. was scared of makhachev and flying kneed himself, pull out merchant, missed weight 4 times in the ufc. lost so many times, hypetrain isnt of islam's level..might derail again by quitting.
@@syas13 ok, oscar the grouch, sit on the couch.... have a good day!!
Imagine training with BJJ expert craig jones for a whole year to learn wrestling take down defence and then getting knocked out in first round 😂😂😂😂
Craig Jones is not that good. He loss against Brady while Brady got TKO by Belal. So Belal is the GOAT 😉😂
What are u talking about Craig Jones is a BJJ athlete not a UFC fighter and he's one of the best in the world.
Thats what i was trying to say the KO is not a short notice thing because it happened in the very first round when they’re both very fresh, Makhachev just had the better gameplan and shut volk off
And shut all the haters/doubters off 😂
Congrat Islam Makhachev,shut the haters
The champ as a name Islam makhachev ☝️🔥🤍🥶
you know, DC just trolling around, deep down he really knows no LW will beat Makhachev lol
Never know buddy.
Never say never in Mma
Dan Hooker where u at now? Want to say some lol 😂😂😂😂
0:23 anyone else see belal get absolutely ignored 😂
🤭
who is that
Poor guy lmao
UFC game cover curse is real 😂😭😭
I was thinking the samw
"BOOM ! HEADSHOT ! DED !" 💥🔥
- Islam Makhachev P4P Numba Wan 👑
As an Islam fan, watching Volk get KO’d was hard to watch... Amazing performance by Islam 👏🙌
This guy is scary. He even said it, it didn’t matter who came in the ring, they were taking a head kick and leaving early.
Good on volk and usman for keeping this fight card alive way to step up im sure the ufc will be thankful and provide you with another chance with more time
Both guys saved the event.
Debate is over. He is number one ☝️
I respect Volk though
What a fight 😮😮
As pound for pound, he definitely needs to go up weight and fight to be double champ. However, it seems he will still fight in the same division for at least two more fights
CRAIG JONES AND DAN HOOKER CAN KISS EACH OTHER
That was a complete blowout - Volk sadly has nothing for him
Volk still got that FW strap to defend. He can be FOR SURE the GOAT in FW division if he keeps on defending his belt because there are still people doubting him as the GOAT of FW
@@bjp_borzvolk is undeniably the GOAT of fw.
MashAllah, and Alhumdulilah for not celebrating
When Colby beats edwards , then they book colby vs islam
Lets be honets gamrot was better prepared in the weigh in he was ripped while volk was flabby ... But we as fans wanted volk thats where WE was wrong gamrot wouldve done wayyyyy better
Respect Islam for doing his best and support Palestine
Can't help but laugh at the people who sit from the sidelines and criticize professional fighters. They have no idea what it is like to exchange blood, sweat, tears, and other fluids with another man. People like us are not like the rest of you and we should be respected, feared and admired.
You're gonna be croatian by the time the next PPV rolls around
Cringe
Maybe if you were an actual fighter but ur not so stop the cap
Yeah that’s the worst thing about MMA… the fans who mock losing fighters, not understanding how brutal that game is. These same ‘fans’ wouldn’t last a day in their shoes lol
Ok Homelander
Alhamdulillah once again ☝🏻💯😇 all matches 👌🏻
LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Time for another classic with Tsarukyan...
I am only excited for Gaethje or a welterweight belt
Charles best move up
Bro got a best resume in lightweight 🥶
I don’t understand why people talk about short notice, it would have been substantial if fight was long enough, which would give free Islam advantage in stamina. But the fight was ended in the first round, where volk should have been the most dangerous
I don't see a lot of people saying that
Hope volk team wont bring up the IV thing again and the mysterious nurse
Would have loved to see that hookers reaction!
Islam vs Leon let's gooooo 👊
You know DC creamed his pants under the desk when Islam got the KO
Amazing how your mind went there.
Islam knocked alex out very early in first round. Alex was fresh so there should be no more excuse of getting the fight on short notice. And i don't know why but it seems like to be the down fall of Alex.
Why downfall? He dominated yair after the 1st Islam fight
@@nsd1001 knockouts are not easy to deal with in future. Best examples are Usman, A Silva, Tony Ferguson, Jose Aldo, Darren Till and list goes on go and research about these fighters.
@@waseemnoor316 yeah, point..
Islam Makhachev is the best fighter in the world, whether you like it or not!
I am a die hard Islam fan and still was. But I really thought cause of the first fight Volk had a honest to god chance… I guess Islam being in his home turf is like Goku getting energy for the spirit bomb. I don’t think anyone takes this dude for a long long time
We already said MAKACHEV would win knought 🔥🔥🔥
i remember how people was saying DC is so biased when talking how strong Islam makhachev is. now they know.
I haven't seen it yet. Was it all hugging again? I hope not
Legacy changing fights. Usman got dominated in wrestling and volk koed. Year ago both were in goat discussions..now..nope
Islam is unstoppable at 55, in welterweight maybe one or two guys can challenge him a bit
Disappointing for volk since he took it on short notice but great win by islam, he silenced the doubts this time
He lost in first round and by ko how does short notice card play here?
#1 P4P that's the statemen.
A win over old Stipe shouldn't keep him there.
No excuses for volk fans now..he got brushed 😂😂
He got humiliated lol. Volk should never sniff another title fight at LW while Islam is champ. He's 0-2 against Islam lol
He didn't get humiliated at all lol, he got caught. A lot of people still think he won the first fight, and if he keeps winning at FW he is gonna get a shot LW again 100%@@DecimusPrime-xg4zi
@@NS-jn4ph The first fight was a 4-1 for Islam. If volk wants another shot at the LW belt he should permanently move up and work his way through the ranks.He's 0-2 in LW. And no the first fight wasn't even close to a robbery. Islam won 49-46, or at least 48-47
And this is why Khabib is the GOAT
5 years ahead of everyone on my channel re: Islam. Dare you to not know.....amazing,
Islam is a beast 💯
In this level Short note match up not fair at all
cormier pitching mad tent there
Has the opportunity to be goat. Dont retire. Volk and oliviera on ur resume is already equivalent to half of jones resume.
Islam the 🐐
Alex shouldn't of taken the fight. He's an absolute savage. But traveling across the world, cutting near 30IBs in 11 days is to much for anyone. Sucks, but hats off to Islam. Force to be reckoned with
I think Volk was afraid that Islam would move up and he wont get a chance for the rematch.
I honestly don't think that had anything to do with how he lost. It wasn't like he gassed out or anything. He got caught with a hard kick that would probably have knocked him out even with a full camp. You can't train your head to absorb hard kicks like that.
@@wwfera00Volk has one of the best chins in the game, that amount of weight cutting was definitely a huge factor
@@wwfera00I feel like your reflexes are faster with a full camp just a bit.
@@riku2700it was on his head and he tried to blocked it too, his hand just about 2 inch lower it has nothing to do with cut or camp its kinda like how gaethje KO poirier good set up to end with high kick
Fairly certain Volk's coach won't be calling Islam a "Russian Dancer" any more...
Wat was the statement
Islam is the real number one pound for pound king
You’re crazy
He fight for his homeland, he fight for his brothers in faith, he fight for humanity, he fight for Palestine! What a great champ Islam Makhachev! Free, free Palestine from Zi0n1st invaders!
Justin Gaethje may be the only man left in this weight class who might be able to rattle Islam enough to beat him. Justin is my absolute favorite fighter but Islam is just a different breed of animal and a force to be reckoned with. Will most likely be the fight of the year when it finally happens
12 days notice LoL...stop volks timing was off...same with Usman that's why they both had bad starts and bad first rounds they didn't get enough sparring clearly ... Now I will say congrats to Islam because he did pick up a read that the head kick would be there I'll give him that
If Volk takes the fight with Topuria in January he's finished 😭
Doctors won't allow I think
@@Khader-ty8ktThere is generally a 6 months medical suspension but there is no commission in Abu Dhabi so no suspension.
What a statement against an opponent who came in on 12 days notice
Same would have happened with 12months camp
Boo hoo. So sad.
@@Khader-ty8ktcuttings 20lbs in 10 days makes u much less durable
i know and thats exact;y what the ufc is hoping for, paddy said the same thing as u after the gordon fight@@Khader-ty8kt
Don’t worry khabib/islam haters, there’s still gaethje. Makhachev just ended your bandwagon and gave answers to all questions like he said he would. AND STILL, I don’t wanna hear any excuses so keep coping. Just exposed volks biggest weakness and now topuria will capitalize as well
A good figther but connor will destroy him next February and get back the belt he owns
🤣
DC.👍
Islam mackchev is the beast we all think khamzat is. Khamzat sells wolf tickets!
Islam > Khabib
King islam
Okay but volk was in terrible shape...never looked like he was ready for this fight... He should have never accepted this fight in the first place...for me Alexander Volk will always be the Great😊
Them hammer fist looked like they were behind the head
Deserved it hahahaha
He was done before that
Top of the head
Dude, Volks back of his head is where normal people got the top of their head? Rewatch it pls, because maybe you tv was tripped or something.
Volk's head bone structure is reversed. His parietal bone is in his face and his face is in his parietal bone.
What is the statement 😆
📢 Dana you have some job😁
THIS IS WHY EVERYONE WAS DUCKING ISLAM AND KHABIB.
Islam could surpass Khabib in not a long time
There just needs to be better competition at LW
No Khabib?
Big props to Islam, like huge props, buuuut volk cut way too much weight way too fast
My prediction for 2024. Islam would win Welterweight belt and Volk would challenge him as a welterweight... 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
DC just 1 week ago picked volk to defeat Islam 🤷🏻♂️
you think he picked against his own teammate and friend?
They don't want to hear it, but Islam already has as good of a career as Khabib did. I will gladly push the narrative that Islam could beat Khabib, and that a full camp Volk could have beaten Khabib as well. Khabib is literally first-generation Islam. Coach Khabib is goated, though. Also, that shara bullet guy still has some work to do. 😂
Volk took a fight on 10 days notice against a weight bully who was already twice his size. What did you guys expect? 😂 💯
Oh here come the chameleons
We expected him to stay in his lane. Stay in his weight class where he is the weight bully. Now stop reaching!
Over all Jones is P4P but John's only had one fight in 3 years. So IM is the P4P right now. 💯👍👍
Give him a real 155er
Islam w the Palestinian flag!
