Take a break and come back at 37 or 38 Ur crazy bro, hes gotta argue for this rematch. He hasnt taken much damage in his career, Tony F is still rockin and been rocked many time. You just read headlines and copy & paste
I don't care that he has lost the last couple of fights. To me this man epitomises what it truly is to be a man. For me with Volkansovski, it is beyond the physical. His mental resilience, emotional intelligence and overall self-awareness is beyond inspiring. Us men could all do with being a bit more VOLK. Not just a fighter.
Except hes trash in all tho aspects. Emotional intelligence and self-awareness? the guys who does ads for casinos and the gam industry def has those 2 qualities hhhhhhhhhh. you folk listen to yourselves?
Hey man, I'm glad people are on the same page about Volk. I am not too worried about the other guys. When I was ten years old and just got given my first tablet I used to comment similar stuff haha@@pkz175
Volk, in case you are not aware, I want you to know that you are such an inspiration around the world! I'm from the Philippines and I am one of your biggest fans here. I will never lose my faith in you. Please take a long break and I know you'll be back stronger and better! 💪🇵🇭🇦🇺
UFC need to go to Spain with a champion. They aren't risking Ilia losing to anyone before that. So Ilia will be forced to wait till the Spanish PPV event, which is unlikely to be soon. Ilia will likely fight just one more time this year. He's never fought more than twice in a year.
@@hope4truths668 lol wut? I'm sure you think there was some logid in what you said but there wasn't ...maybe half of the conversation was only in your head because that at best was a non sequitir.
@@Last_Chance. I can absolutely agree with this. Alex used the same gameplan against Illia, which he used against Max in the trilogy fight, and it was stupid considering that Illia fights in an orthodox stance only and it became easier to connect on Alex. Also, should have wrestled early on to tire out Illia's arms and used head kicks during the clinch breakups and stayed mostly in the middle distance.
Ilia is from my hometown Alicante, so I was rooting for him. It was really hard though as Volk has been my favourite fighter since the 2nd Holloway fight. Volkanoski has been one of the greatest champions ever.
Im from Spain and rooted for Ilia too, but damn yes Volk is such a lovable guy. Ilia actually said something like that recently in a popular spanish show, like 'he has good values and he is a hell of a guy''
UFC 298 was my lil bro and my first live event. We got to smack your hand and even though it was a hard pill to swallow, could not be more impressed by what you’ve been able to achieve already. Looking forward to whatever it is you do next champ
Mate, I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to hear you say you're going to take a break, and that you can see the parts of your gameplan that you thought weren't up to their usual best. It was a gut punch to see you take damage in the last two because you're honestly a personal hero of mine, but to see you learn your lessons and continue to be such an inspiring role model has been a pleasure to watch. You're the GOAT my friend, both as a fighter and as a person. Keep on doing what you're doing. There are so many of us sending you all the positivity and respect we have to give, I hope you feel it! 🥊🤘
Best response??? Saying that he wasnt himself in this fight??? Another excuse by a CKB fighter or affilated with that team! You got knocked out cold because Ilia is younger, hits like a truck, is more well rounded and unfortunately after your ko loss to Islam and combined with your age, your time as champion has come to an end. The denial is real which means he will never learn from this loss and he will get put to sleep in even more empatic fashion if he fights in a rematch!
@@matrix35 He was almost undefeated in that weight class for almost a DECADE and here you are going over to his channel to write a whole essay to be negative. You're a tool!!
@@matrix35 faaaacts. im a huge Volk fan but a bigger fan of being logical. the 35 stat is as real as father time. father time got a trillion title defenses lol.
You are a champ man and I will support you this next fight, I hope you make the right decisions career wise after this but we know that a warrior like you cannot let it end like this 💪💪💪. Greetings from a peruvian guy that admires you quite a bit.
When Charley olives was champ I always said that that was volks chance to take lightweight belt also. And at the time I reckon he had a very good chance of doing so. I don’t think he’s done and believe he can get his feather back but sadly the time is ticking away. Regardless of if he does or he doesn’t what he has done in the octagon is outstanding. True martial artist nd mentor for young up and comers for years to come. Good on topieria but I guarantee he won’t hold a candle to volks reign of dominance through the years. Both incredible fighters but volk is/was and always will be one to remember
I was there live for my first UFC event at 298 and the hype during your walkout is like nothing else. Couldn’t imagine the electricity you felt back at 284 in Australia. We’re behind you no matter what champ! You’re always taking on the biggest and toughest challenges, which is inspiring to all fight fans!! 👊🏽
Don't have anything poignant to say, so I'll just leave here that you're one of my favorite fighters of all time, true champ and seem a decent dude. Rest up, heal up, be back better than ever and we'll support you always!
Let's go Volk! I've been fortunate to watch you fight LIVE vs Mendes, Ortega, and Topuria👊. People forget how Great you are... but I have no doubt you'll be back🔥🇺🇲🇲🇽🤙🙏
The Mendes fight was special, massive jump up in competition for volk and everyone wrote him off but smashed Mendes. You are lucky that you saw live the fight that was the coming out party for arguably one of the legit goats of MMA.
Your honesty is very impressive, it’s good to see that you’re taking this very seriously. I really wish you all the best in these coming months, and cannot wait to see you back as a champ!!
If he does get the belt back, it will be a huge comeback. it's an uphill battle, ilia is in his prime. but it would be amazing if Volk could pull it off. Rest well.
He lost to the P4P best in the world and then to one of the most powerful featherweights ever and didn’t look bad in either fight up until the Ko, how is it over?
I’ve been a fan of the sport for a little over 2 years now and you’ve been the 145 champ the whole time. Glad you’re in high spirits and you’ll be back👊🏼
Take all the time off you need. All of us will still be here supporting you no matter what your decision will be in regards to your next fight. You're my GOAT regardless. Can't wait to maybe see some more content here on the channel!
You’re such an amazing representative for Australia. It was devastating to see you loose but I know you will be back greater and better. Enjoy your time with your family, can’t wait to see you but in the octagon
I think you letting go of “ winning or losing “ is the key to your next victory, imo. Unfortunately the fight game is all about being prepared and also being in the moment. But I think you handled the defeat the best anyone could. It’s inspiring to be so humble and clear minded. We don’t doubt you, we just think you need to be yourself. But even if you lose we still appreciate you. Much respect champ , i hope you get your opportunity. I remember gsp talked about the prison mentality you mentioned. Being at the top makes you go crazy, so he said. It’s that obsession to be the best ever.
Enjoy your time brother. It’s good taking a break from fighting to help recover, but take your time enjoying the other things in life bro. You’re a legend🤟
Humble as you have always been. You are the goat mate and that loss is just another chapter in the great story of your journey. Rest that head, enjoy the time with the family and come back for his head. Right time for the right reasons. Always the champ to that beautiful family and to all of us who support you. Come back stronger than ever mate
You have done wonderfully in your career so far. You are a champion, always will be a champion. You have earned this rest. Take the break, spend time with your family & do some relaxing. Most importantly give yourself the recovery time. I'll still be following & look forward to your return. Much love to you Alexander❤ & to your family❤
You're a legend and such and inspiration for thousands and thousands of people all around the world, I know you will be back even stronger and will be at the top again. Take a well deserved rest champ, we love you. Cheers from México 💪🏻
Thank you, Volk. Thank you for taking a break, man. You deserve it and you need it. You have been working yourself to the bone for years. It's not an age thing. It's an overworked, not enough rest thing and Ilia capatilised on that. That's where his confidence came from in your fight. He watched you for years, working yourself down to the level he was confident to take on. Rest your mind, body, and soul. Bring yourself back to full strength, and you will redeem yourself. 💪
I’m pretty sure he got his confidence from being 15-0 and knowing he’s better with the hands and on the ground but ok cope all u want. Alex is great but it’s the ilia era now
I'm glad your 100% transparent. I saw a guy who didn't want to get caught by Ilias combos. I was like, that's not Volks style, I'm glad I was right, and I hope you're willing to lay it down, win, lose, or draw, next fight. We all want to see this comeback!
Let’s go Champ 💪🏻 Glad to see you in good spirits. Take your break and clear your head and you’ll be back in the octagon with your hand raised before the end of the year. I’m ready for your second reign as champ. 2025 the King of Featherweights returns!!!! 👑👑👑
Love you brother. You carry yourself like a Champ with or without the belt, inside and outside the cage, at all times. You're a bloody legend mate and I can't wait to see you back in there doing your thing and showing the world once again who the featherweight KING really is. Go get that strap back. 👊👑
Ilia's fan here. Get some well deserved rest and come back at your 100%, you earned that rematch for all you've done and in a way Ilia needs it too to consolidate fully as the new champ. Much love from Spain.
Retire bro ,you’ve done all you can in the sport ,why not get into movie business like mcgregor or start your own brand of something ,you’re a good man Volk
@@sanane66543 he’s also getting old once you are past ur prime u can’t do things like u were able too in ur youth so it’s natural,it’s better if he just retires rather than to suffer more embarrassing losses
No matter what happens. You are a true champion, a world champion. I will always respect you as you are not only one of the best if not the best fighter, but also a humble human being. Sending my love brother
Well deserved rest Champ!! You’ve been the best role model and representative of our country and this sport for a long time. Every time you’re on the camera you show the world how to be a real man, father and so much more! Enjoy the time and freedom with your family. You’ll be better for it and I can’t wait to see the bounce back! But no matter what happens, I’m a fan for life!! I honestly can’t think of one person or athlete that has represented Australia and Men a round the world better. That will never be forgotten by so many Volk, the comment section proofs that every time!! All the best with the time off, I’m looking forward to the content during the break 🎣. Much love Champ ✊👑❤️🔥🇦🇺
Volk, will you see this? I don't know but thank you for sharing this video and your thoughts. We rarely get a glimpse into the mind of someone who is at the pinnacle of the sport and yet at the same time being so vulnerable and genuine intereacting with the fans. Hope you feel appreciated and loved as by the community and your fans because you truly deserve it.
Thanks for the breakdown. I've enjoyed listening to you and your team, and Ilia and his team, give their impressions on the fight the last couple of weeks. It was an incredibly entertaining fight. The rematch in Spain will blow every other event out of the water.
Held your head high brother. You are a legend because of your commitment. You dnt need a belt to be recognised as champion. But hey it will come to u soon. Bless you
I really really like that you’ve acknowledged that you fought differently than normal and were off because you were trying not to get caught with a big shot. Acknowledging the mistakes means you’re def gonna come in better and more prepared next time
Full belief in you that you will get the belt Volk, I am a huge fan of your's from India. I became your biggest fan the day you dismantled holloway in the 3rd match with him, i loved him too but the way you showed levels to him was extrordinary. Just believe in your skillset, mix it up with ground game, and then piece him down like you always do and surely you will win, just watch out for his speed and keep ur defenses tight. Then he would go for the body and you could counter that with your fast hooks. All the best. I know you are a legend and know everything, just my support and encouragement here :)
Hey mate good hear your going to take a break. Enjoy your fishing and family time brother. Look forward to seeing u back in there later in the year. Well said in this vid your a bloody legend 😂🇦🇺

Retire bro ,you’ve done all you can in the sport ,why not get into movie business like mcgregor or start your own brand of something ,you’re a good man Volk
shouldve never fought islam with short notice he is destroying the legacy
@@sanane66543 he’s also getting old once you are past ur prime u can’t do things like u were able too in ur youth so it’s natural,it’s better if he just retires rather than to suffer more embarrassing losses
U talk a lot of shit brotha@@sanane66543
Head up volk we all love you man, keep grinding if anyone can do it it’s you.
No matter what happens. You are a true champion, a world champion. I will always respect you as you are not only one of the best if not the best fighter, but also a humble human being. Sending my love brother
It’s never been more over
Well deserved rest Champ!! You’ve been the best role model and representative of our country and this sport for a long time. Every time you’re on the camera you show the world how to be a real man, father and so much more! Enjoy the time and freedom with your family. You’ll be better for it and I can’t wait to see the bounce back! But no matter what happens, I’m a fan for life!! I honestly can’t think of one person or athlete that has represented Australia and Men a round the world better. That will never be forgotten by so many Volk, the comment section proofs that every time!!
All the best with the time off, I’m looking forward to the content during the break 🎣. Much love Champ ✊👑❤️🔥🇦🇺
glad to see your taking time off, get back in there in October or November, and get that belt back!
Taking a much needed rest. Youve been such a dominant and active champ. Lets get that belt back later this year 💪 😤
Volk, will you see this? I don't know but thank you for sharing this video and your thoughts. We rarely get a glimpse into the mind of someone who is at the pinnacle of the sport and yet at the same time being so vulnerable and genuine intereacting with the fans. Hope you feel appreciated and loved as by the community and your fans because you truly deserve it.
Rest up champ can’t wait to see rematch.
Glad you're resting dude, it's good to hear
Thanks for the breakdown. I've enjoyed listening to you and your team, and Ilia and his team, give their impressions on the fight the last couple of weeks. It was an incredibly entertaining fight. The rematch in Spain will blow every other event out of the water.
Held your head high brother. You are a legend because of your commitment. You dnt need a belt to be recognised as champion. But hey it will come to u soon. Bless you
I really really like that you’ve acknowledged that you fought differently than normal and were off because you were trying not to get caught with a big shot. Acknowledging the mistakes means you’re def gonna come in better and more prepared next time
Love from Germany my G ❤️🤞🏻
Youre still my favorite fighter we support you always god bless you brother☦️
Love ya Volk ❤
Wish you the best bud. Wise to take time off and enjoy life.
win or lose still a legend brother!!
goodluck in the rematch
should be lit🔥💯
Your the Man Volk enjoy the rest and family and go get your belt we are all behind you 👍👍
you are a goat thank you for these years🙏🙏❤️💪🏼
Take your time mate you'll be back stronger, enjoy family time be safe be happy
Full belief in you that you will get the belt Volk, I am a huge fan of your's from India. I became your biggest fan the day you dismantled holloway in the 3rd match with him, i loved him too but the way you showed levels to him was extrordinary. Just believe in your skillset, mix it up with ground game, and then piece him down like you always do and surely you will win, just watch out for his speed and keep ur defenses tight. Then he would go for the body and you could counter that with your fast hooks. All the best. I know you are a legend and know everything, just my support and encouragement here :)
This man is so inspiring!
Volk’s dad must be so proud of him man. Support from the UK!
Volk I love you so much, you have been a big motivation for me. Keep your head high and come back stronger than ever. Much Love.
Volk, you've proven everything you need to. You are the goat of the division, please spend more time with your family
Don't get sad,mad or glad, get even and then ahead! You got this dude!
Hey mate good hear your going to take a break. Enjoy your fishing and family time brother. Look forward to seeing u back in there later in the year. Well said in this vid your a bloody legend 😂🇦🇺
