Alexander Volkanovki's Tell All Interview After Defeating Yair Rodriguez at UFC 290.
Alexander Volkanovski continued his reign as UFC featherweight champion with a statement in Las Vegas at UFC 290. Volkanovski completely dominated Yair Rodriguez both on the ground and on the feet, and ultimately earned the finish in the third round of the fight.
Volkanovski now moves to 1-1 on the year after suffering a loss to Islam Makhachev in his quest for the lightweight title, but even in that defeat, his stock and profile reached new heights. Volkanovski entered the bout in a tie for No. 1 in ESPN's pound-for-pound rankings.
In the co-main event, Alexandre Pantoja earned a split decision victory over Brandon Moreno to win flyweight gold. The bout was an instant classic as Pantoja used his ground game to hold off the strong boxing game of Moreno.

Who do I fight next?
the rock
Michael Chandler 3 rounds in lightweight 👊🏻🧨
Islam!!!
Islam! No one makes sense at FW at this moment
ISLAM. Bury him.
He's beaten the older generation, his generation, and now he's starting to beat the younger generation. A true testament to Volk's greatness 🐐
Beautiful statement 🙏🏻
It would be topuria at first definitely!
He loses to Tuporia and it was all for a waste
@@lorileon2816put the pipe down
Alex truly cemented himself as one of the all time GOATs. Hope you recover fast and go get that lightweight belt!
Facts tho Izzy and volk best fighters in ufc right now

Most intelligent, prepared and complete fighter since DJ. That is the biggest compliment I can offer. It's a pleasure to witness volk's reign, truly one of a kind.
excellent comment.
His respect for everyone he fights is elite also. volk holds the standard for how to be a champion and the peoples champ.
I totally agree 💯🥊🥊
Perfect combination of bj penn and mighty mouse
1000 percent great comparison
A champions champion, and a fighter's fighter. Just an amazing career to witness.
lol what?
Izzy casually just chillin in the back. Wholesome video ❤❤❤
Facts 😂
#1 P4P fighter on earth, representing us Aussies! You’re an absolute King Volk, rest up, heal up and go get your belt at 155”.
He needs to fight ilia.
That 155lb will be there.
But Islam needs to fight a lightweight. Hasn't fought any since he got the belt in October. Volk blocked Dariush from his title fight and if they fight again next will hold up the division even more. Let Islam fight for once
@@JOHN-zl5kw
The dagestanis hold onto that belt for dear life. Khabib only fought once a year as well. They’re extremely boring champions in terms of style and activity
@@AlphaQHardthe fans are even worse😂 “Islam by however he wants” remember when they said that about volk😂😂
@@JOHN-zl5kw Your reply is stupid and that’s the only response necessary.
@@AlphaQHardI’m not the biggest fan of them but I don’t think that’s fair to Islam. Overall he’s been active and had two huge fights in a fairly short time. Give the man a break
We are living in the Volk Era! Such an honor to be witnessing The Great. Your IQ in there and how you can systematically break everything down blows me away everytime. And honestly it's more the character that I think has made you into a fan favorite. You really represent good things in the sport. Hard work, dedication, discipline. It Sounds cliche but you stand by that. Cheers
An example of the perfect sportsman.
Truly an inspiration. Aussie media need to celebrate this man more, the sports fans love him. Give him his credit.
This man embodies greatness! This man did not get here easy, you guys kept disrespecting him up until max 3. The most active, the most dominant, the most doubted - this man is what you want as a champion. F*** that Connor shit; this is a real fighter. Thank you
Definitely the most doubted, pissed me off man. He’s been special for a long time
This is the guy in which every fighter should be inspired in
I was rooting for Yair, because i really like the guy, but it is impossible to dislike volk, i am happy for him
Had to throw in Conor😂
Double Champ Vs Double Champ
✨️Volk VS Conor✨️
I was one of those guys because I love Holloway that much 😂. Definitely proved me wrong. I think the Ortega fight won a lot of people over.
Absolutely incredible to see this man perform and just the way he carries himself. A true champ & the P4P king in my opinion
100%
He’s on route.. fast track
No doubt
He's in the roster for GOAT status but DJ still P4P GOAT imo and John Jones 👑 🐐
A man's man. A Champions champion
This guy is an absolute savage, but you can just tell he’s genuinely a good guy and I’m a huge fan. Hell of a performance brother, good luck with the new baby, your surgery and I think I speak for everyone when I say we can’t wait to see you in the next one 💪🏽 #ANDSTILL
Crazy that we see an actual legend be able to talk directly to fans right after the fight in long form. Appreciate these videos and the insight into the goat 🐐
This man’s fight IQ is top notch and elite. And he doesn’t take damage at all!
His IQ and the way he breaks down fights/opponents is something super rare. On top of his skills it’s such a scary thing to have both
Did you not see his face? Nobody gets in and out without taking some damage, but he is amazing at keeping it to a minimum
@@calgakispict3652brain damage is what he’s referring to. Volk doesn’t take too many big shots in his fights.
Hey Volk, as a long time fan of both you and MMA I truly appreciate how active of a champ you are. I don’t think people put enough emphasis on it when they talk about everything you’ve done.
Agreed. Talk about a champ for the fans Volk is the man. I hope he fights next year then retires with two belts and only one loss to Islam.
@@insanity4224 the dream!! I think Islam beats him again unfortunately but I’d much prefer this storybook ending. I wanna see him fight Topuria first but I think they’ll do that Islam rematch next
80% of the fab base are casuals
@@mmamultiverse75casuals lol you a long term ufc fighter ?
Both he and Izzy are incredibly active champions. It's refreshing
The ending sequence from the moment you touched Yair with the hook, he stepped back laughing was insane. the couple of faints, knee to the head to bodyshots, changed level, double leg take down, ground and pound
Legend, Top Bloke, Strategic Genius, and all round straight up down to earth Aussie sports royalty
So happy for Volk! A true warrior 🥳 this was an entertaining fight 🙌🏽
Amazing fight! Volk is the man!
Dude is out there putting on masterpiece fights, going home to his family, eating well, enjoying life. Superb role model.
You're the man - love your drive and how down-to-earth you've remained!
p.s. watched the video of you watching the Izzy / Pereira with your coach and family, and I was so moved by how excited you and your crew were - the world is full of haters, so it was inspiring to watch you go crazy for the success of one of your comrades!
I love Izzy just chilling in the background
After Rattling The Internet With His rants😅 Ol Boy Is Back to himself!
The finishing sequence was a thing of beauty. How good can a guy get🚨
Alex Volkanovski, you're the greatest MMA Fighter of our generation and possibly the greatest of all time. Nothing fancy, nothing flashy. Just a meat and potatoes game that blends all the martial arts into 1 near perfect fighting system. Always humble, always trying to improve on your skillset and pursuing new goals/challenges.
Islam makchev>
AND STILL. Always showing us that it's about hard work and dedication. Nobody drives that point home more with their actions than you brother. Thank you.
You're just on a whole new level above all the featherweight title challengers right now, Ilia's undefeated record will end soon enough when he fights you, and you definitely deserve another shot at the lightweight gold
Max went through hell to contain Yair.... For Volk it was just another day at work 😮
This man is the goat!!...his skillset is the most complete of any champion, his preparation and commitment are miles ahead of anyone else. He’s confident enough to believe in his ability, but humble enough to keep getting better with each fight. He beats every ‘specialist’ at their own game. To be one of the most talented fighters to ever live and still come off like a normal guy after all his success says everything about how he carries himself. Oh, and obviously no ped’s to speak of! If every ufc fighter was the same height and weight, Alex would beat them all!
I love how calculated Alex is in his fights. He is like a robot that makes no bad decisions. He only strikes when theres a good opening. In my opinion the best fighter in the ufc. Congrats champ.
Izzy in the background seeing all of his fans swap to DDP fans.
Congrats Volk your performance was unbelievable I was shaking but you dominated!!!!
Don’t worry, they will be back when izzy shows him who the true African is
😅..Still a Izzy fan but yeah what he did during the post fight was pretty cringe.I couldn't even watch their whole interaction
Izzy is in love with the Spotlight...He Don't seem to go away😅
@@abihamal7874bro dricus could beat him with his grappling… he does have some vicious ground and pound it’s no walk in the park
Na. Ddp is wack.
You’re the man Volk. Thanks for always having an entertaining fight for us fans. long live the king
Izzy and volk best fighters in ufc
Love how classy you both were dabbing it up each round. Got the Stylebender in the background too 🤜🤛💪
Honestly. I don’t understand why this man is not respected by everyone in our world. He’s proven to be the champ both inside and outside the cage. Congrats Volk! I spent my rent money to watch you! And Still baby!!
Dude is a menace in that cage.
Oliveira may have been the first one I watched and that got me into the sport, but man, Volk is built different and took me by storm when I first saw him. Immediately watched a lot of his fights back and the man became my all time favorite fighter. That'll never change whether he has double digit title defense, two belts, or loses UFC gold one day. Have to support my 5'6 brother through thick and thin
Fused zamasu
I just want to say a sincere THANK YOU!! I had to watch your fight again last night. I have so much respect for you, your art of fighting and how you carry yourself and UFC. I'd pay double to watch you any day. Loved seeing your Old Man there and your shout out to Mom❤️. Can't wait for the rematch. May that arm get even deadlier than before after surgery. God bless you and the family.
Volk's work ethic is inspiring. Even while being the champ for a long time he always trains and fights like he's the challenger
This guy is so humble its crazy to think he just took out another great on international fight week Most inspirational human out there!! ✌️AV ANDSTILL
You are one of the most physically strong guys in UFC💪🏿
Yair is said to be really strong to and Volk literally rag dolled him.
Congrats Alex 👏👏 It was a pleasure to watch a master of his craft go to work. You have an amazing team of people around you but at the end of the day, that cage door closes and it's only you and your opponent in there and you delivered mate.
Great ep and great fight. Thanks for giving the technical breakdowns around the finish and the right hook.
This was supposed to be Volk’s most dangerous opponent, Idk how he does it but I am absolutely here to watch him at every turn.
They really sold that narrative but that just isn’t true. Islam and Max are both more dangerous than Yair. UFC does promote really well.
@@jorgemunoz2065 Max lost to yair, and got dominated by volk, so hardly
@@deadmoney5580 Max won that fight buddy
@@jorgemunoz2065 it is. Doesn't mean Yair's better than Max and inbred Islam but Yair could put you out with 1 shot which is why Volk feared for the first time in his like and you not a fighter, Volk is so I believe Volk's words over yours you little
@@deadmoney5580Max beat Yair, what are you talking about?
I like Volk as a fighter and how he presents himself as an individual as well. I was going for Yair as I am Mexican. Volk is just different compared to any other fighter in the division. I don't see anyone beating him by out working him. If he were to lose, it'd have to be a clean KO otherwise I don't see him losing by decision or submission in featherweight class. Masterclass Volk.
Great job Saturday, Volk, congrats. Longtime fan. Love the RUclips channel, too, especially the cooking. Keep up the good work.
Thank you. Please do more videos like this. We can learn so much about the value of smart, hard work.
Hey Volk, league player from South Aust, CONGRATS CHAMP. The way you present yourself to the public is second to none. You are respectful of your opponents UNLESS they speak SHIT first. Very humble man who will go down as the GREATEST AUSSIE UFC FIGHTER EVER, and WHEN you take the 155 BELT and DEFEND Both multiple times you will have to be in the running for GREATEST UFC CHAMP EVER. I know JON JONES has very IMPRESSIVE record, but i reckon you will surpass him as you LEAVE NO STONE UN TURNED. Keep repping yourself and AUSTRALIA you LEGEND.
Reminded me of a classic St. Pierre domination. Congrats!
Look forward to the next.
Volk's been on my top 5 favorite fighters for a while now, but I can now comfortably say that he is my all time favorite fighter, this guy is amazing!
Thank you, Volk! Your dedication, discipline, and love for the sport are inspiring. #1P4P #TheGreat
All respect Volk, always rooting for you from Illinois, all Love!!
Absolute masterclass champ 👏👏👏👏
Featherweight GOAT no doubt 🐐🔝🏆🇭🇲
DONE ✅️
Izzy in the back tweeting the longest message to DDP I love it 🤣
Awesome job Volk, Im from Idaho and flew down to see you fight, couldnt be more proud of you!!! Keep it coming!!!
Izzy casually drinking coffee in the background 😂
Prefect performance. You are the only person that I still watch in shock at just how good you are and how much you keep improving💪🏼 keep it up. Love the cooking vids too
Fantastic result! On to the next!..
A complete legend in the making 💪
Listening to him break down the finish. Dudes a genius! PFP #1 by far
Amazing win by Volk! The legend!! Masterclass performance! #andstill 👏👏👏🇦🇺🐐
Far out how awesome is mma right now, we’re so spoiled for crazy talent nowdays and we also get to witness this guys rise to legend status 👊🏻👊🏻
Glad I found your channel love your entire team and you are well on your way to being known as the p4p goat keep it up Volk, Izzy, Dan and crew! Love all your content!
Good luck my brother. Get everything fixed and heal up!!!! Look forward to you battling again.... Your amazing and a huge fan!
Your witnessing greatness Aussies , you’ll never see a better fighter in ALL combat sports than volk come out of this country ever again. The best to ever do it….🇦🇺
Too right cobber! He's a true blue proud Aussie Champion. In my honest opinion he's the p4p GOAT.
And not to mention a humble genius and a tremendous role model for humanity 💪🔥
Alexander the Great!!!
Fucken oath 👊🏻
I love Volk but MMA is so young tgis is absolutely recency bias speaking.
In 100 years all fighters will have black belts in BJJ or the equivalent in Sambo, they’ll be elite level strikers, they’ll all have unbelievable takedown defense and even weight cutting will be taken to the next level.
@@eaglewinnings8003 Which just means it will be more competitive and less dominant champs like tha Volk
Absolute legend
He’s pretty much this generation’s GSP. Nullifies your strengths and takes you out of the fight….🏆👊
How can you not love Volk…..most down to earth family man there is yet he’s the P4P best man on the planet.
Alex you're a king and a gentleman. It's been an honor to watch you fight and reign.
Nothing but respect for you mate. An absolute show of class from start to finish. P4P. Looking forward to seeing you in the octagon again. Love from Canada
Every interview Alex makes he picks up more fans. Genuinely a top bloke!
What a class act this guy is I doubt he’ll ever read my comment but seriously has to be one of the most hardworking,honest,and humble champs we have and on top of that he always likes to stay active and challenge himself with the highest level of competition he can find not even Australian and I’ll always be rooting for him thank for representing us short kings as well😂😂
Seen the rise of Volk since his first UFC fight, always believed I was watching a great. absolute legend, champ champ time. Pride of Australia.
We are blessed to watch the great one, thank you champ.
This man has won me over. An Honorable, respectable champ.
People talk a lot of shit and say a lot of stuff, but Volk always puts his money where his mouth is. Best mental fortitude in mma history. If anyone could become a 3 division champ, its probably him. One fight at a time, cheers to GOAT 🍻
He’d have a hard time making 135. And at 170 he’d be the greatest fighter ever in order to win a title because Leon Edwards is not joke and much, much bigger. If he can make 135 he has a chance, but that would be a hell of a cut
I love you so much Volk, u are such an inspiration bro. so humble both in victory and in defeat, great father great personality everything about you is just great. And Still "Alexander THE GREAT" Volkanovski. ♥♥♥♥
Awesome work this weekend. Great event all around
What a performance! Congratulations and continue pushing Volk!
man is a beast. much respect.
Enreal fight, excellent break down, cheers mate!
It's always good to watch your game..... thanks volka.
Congrats Champ. Amazing performance!
Blessings to you and your Fam and Team Volk🙏🏽🙏🏽
GOAT Nothing left to say! It’s undeniable an noooobody in the featherweight can beat him!!
I Have Been Doing Martial Arts For 50 yrs... and You Make me Proud the way you carry yourself and Represent The sport and yourself and your family Well Done Thank you
Great breakdown, thanks for the insight
Alex is a true representation of a UFC champ. Gracious, Humble and and an amazing fighter. He has been winning the hearts of a lot us by the way he conducts himself. I wish him nothing but the best for everything moving forward 👍🏻
The longer that fight went on the more chances Yair had to win. Flawless victory by the Champ. Congrats Alex
VOLK !!! wat a example you are for people i follow from day one at the ufc ..you stay the same dude !! I think you are the best example for fighters how to handle growth ,fame, dedication and all the rest ..wish you the best dude !! Keep up the good work..Greetings from the netherlands🎉
Great interview
Alex THE GREAT 🤝
True champion in and out of the cage. Let's go Volk!
Absolutely the best to do it. Thank you.
Not only is Volk a great fighter but he's also great in all of his interviews how intellectual he sounds likei could watcg his fights all day long i could watch his interviews all day long as well. Congratulations on the win champ.
Love you Volk you done us proud! Being able to see an artery through the cut that's hectic!
Volk thank you for continually flying the falg for the aussies. Keep going Brother 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
LETS GOO! 💪 these words always sound in my head before training! Thanks for be the best Volks💪
So happy for VOLK doing what he does. Taking care of his family. BIG FAN!
Volk may not have the stats/record to be the GOAT but he damn sure has the personality and mindset. Reminds me of GSP back in the day
Most featherweight defenses other than aldo but beat him, cleared the division, miles ahead of anyone else there, and beat the snot out of the 155 champ too. Definitely the goat
@@jamie8065he didn't beat Islam, let alone beat the snot out of him. Volks credential are top of the line, they don't need to be inflated by delusion.
@@FrenkieWest32 pictures tell a thousand words and there's literally video proof of Islam's head bouncing off the canvas and snot flying out of his nose so yes, he did.
Alex, your example of work ethic and professionalism is an inspiration way beyond the scope of MMA. Been one of my life idols for a while. Rooting for you champ champ
Amazing battle Champ! Congrats and much respect from Mexico 💪🏻
I remember when he first fought max, didn’t dislike him but was such a big fan of max I didn’t give volk much praise. Man this dude is quickly becoming one of my favorite fighters. He never has an off night. So much respect. high level & humble as they come.
how do you make every fight looks so easy.....
GOAT!
