They'll push Chandler v McGregor like it's a title fight even if it's just for TUF but here we're talking No1 vs No2..

They have zero personality. Y’all need to realize this sport has changed. It’s all about personality now and story lines. Pretty simple. UFC should take some notes from WWE.
@@mrstifler8987 They don't have zero personality. It's clear both guys are very good humble men. Just because they're being calm and not talking crazy sht doesn't mean they have no personality.

People taking the shirt talk too seriously. It’s there playful banter. The Dagestanis. It’s taken out of context. Dudes even smiling saying it and they gave him this fight and opportunity . So
Man Islam on the ground is beyond scary, that choke on his jui jitsu partner was quicker than Ortega's choke hold on Volk, that is dangerous if he's put in that position. I hope we fight fans get an amazing fight no matter the outcome regardless of Dumb Dana not knowing the names of his fighters or promoting this card like he should.

What’s the risk? There’s only upside. If he loses well, that was expected because he’s going up in weight. He doesn’t even lose his belt. If he wins, immediately, he’s one of the greatest of all time.
@@agitch the risk is that he loses some confidence/momentum and becomes a bit more vulnerable down at featherweight. It depends on how badly he loses of course
Man Islam Makachev vs Volk in Australia at UFC 284 was a true classic. A real back and forth war, masterclass performance by both. My favorite fight of 2023. Hard to believe it’s been 2 years now, time flies😊
After watching the countdown to this ppv it's so hard to not root for both Emmett and Rodriguez two great fighters with impressive stories and wins what a fight card.
Emmet legitimately lost to Kattar and got gifted a robbery decision. Yair is coming off a loss to Max and a win over Brian by freak injury. The title fight should be Arnold Allen vs May Holloway.

@@albinoharambe69 And what was Khabibs legacy? fights with noname and amateur fighters and two title defence with average Poirier and Gaethje? also Khabib was big in weigh for that division.
@@n.fland.5694 How about never bled. Never got dropped. Never looked like he'd even been in a fight. Arguably never lost a round. And you might want to check weigh in vs fight day weights rather than just regurgitating what you read in a comment somewhere... Khabib was not excessively more of "weight bully" than anyone else in the top 5. Poirier and Gaethje have exceeded him for example. Also, calling them average is delusional. At the time of the fights they were killers. Same as Michael Johnson and Barbosa at the time of those fights. And if Khabib had fought Alverez instead of conor as planned (he'd already signed - conor got bumped)... You lot obsessed with title defenses would be looking at a crazy number and conor would never have risen like he did. That's why they are not so important. They are dependent on the politics of the UFC. *Edit: Michael not Demetrious
Josh Emmet has come across like a really nice, introspective person in this and the countdown. Never knew much of him before but I am very much rooting for him now. No offense to Yair, idk what he's like but I do love his mad shit
Hyped for Volk and to see him achieve this monumental status. It's a VERY BIG DEAL. If he can do it, oh my goodness.... a legend is born. Can't wait to see what happens. Win or lose, I'm glad Alex is going for it and it's easy as far as the weight is concerned for him to do. He's the perfect guy to go for double champ status and up even further his P4P ranking.
Fighters seem to be going longer now, before in the lower weight classes your prime was late 20s and you become washed at like 32 now we got 34 year old champions
Lmao, you're joking right?? Islam couldn't sell out a high school auditorium if his life depended on it! The sad part is that volk is paying for it! He would make a lot more money if he fought someone else!
Volkanovski still one of the most underappreciated warriors in the world of sport. If anyone can beat Islam, it's him. Team Volk all the way. Greetings from Germany ❤️
Volkanoski underappreciated? I don't know who told you that, but he is a champion, and if you are a champion in UFC promotion you can't be underappreciated. It's hard to say if he can beat Islam, I don't think so, but is possible, everything is possible in MMA.

so sureal seeing your home town on UFC Embedded. You cant miss those West Aussie sunsets either. Hope all the fighters are hanging in there with our Summer sun.
ye real warrior, always going on about coming up a weight class even though he is a big guy himself ( just shorter) and trying to bring up the size all teh while not having the "cahoonas" to put his belt up so winner takes all.
9:15 "He beat many guys in 145, but 155, it's other jungle, you know. I'm gonna give him hard time here and he never gonna come back to 155" this gave me the chills. And still Inshallah
@@Ozzyozzysheesh Makhachev is a coward fighting a 145 pound striker instead of fighting 170 pound wrestlers. 170 is where he belongs. He's weak. He's scared of the Burns, Colby, Usman, and Khamzat (who also needs to move up in weight).
@@uckyYuckySoul agreed man, it’s hard for these dudes who are just genuine nice guys to play up who they are.

"I am gonna give him hard time here and he never gonna come back to 155" - Islam Makachev 9:21 Quote of the Year Awards 2023 🥇 Islam Makachev = #1 P4P in 5 days Screenshot this comment and see you all soon!
Everyone’s excited for this fight because everyone wants to witness the impossible happen. It most likely won’t, but just the thought of Alex pulling off this major upset really excites me.
Impossible? Why ? Such disrespect for volk, he is far more accomplished in the ufc than what Islam is. Islams claim to fame is beating Charles which 8 other people already have done aswell.
@@Chris-sf2cp Yeah certainly not impossible, everyone making out like Islam is some undefeated immortal destroyer LOL. That said he is legit AF but he really only has 2 good wins (Olives and Arman)
Volk has a very good chance, hes just not the favorite. Its not gunna be like the biggest upset in UFC history if he wins…Volk is p4p #1 for a reason but this is Islam’s division and he has the clear advantage
That is also why ufc fighters get paid so little, money has to get distributed further and will cause more losses and each fighter will have less value. For our amusement ufc fighters get used and thrown out after a couple years.
Exactly, boxing cares about money more than legacy so they put their superstars up against no body’s so they can look good and look like their the best. In the ufc, fighters say f it and put it all on the line for us fans!! That’s why this sport is the freaking best!!
@@yardtoot4780 nah there's amazing fighters and so many levels since boxing is a old sport, boxers don't stand out because they been doing this as kids, lots don't really have a life yet. MMA will be the same once these organizations end up becoming belts organizations and turn like boxing. These fighters will get tired of getting used and fight for money. security.
@@BigPat6521I disagree, the UFC never had or never will never baby their champs or superstars for money and value. It will always be the best going against the best. And UFC fighters aren’t getting used. Idk why you say that? They fight because they wanna fight and prove their the best by beating the best, their not forced to fight. Islam and Alex literally challenged each other live without no negotiating, as a fan that’s what I want to see. Screw negotiating about money, just make it happen!
@@BigPat6521 but who tf knows. if your right, you better enjoy this era of the ufc. You got these two badass mfs fighting each other with what you call little money on the line. You should feel lucky to witness this match up. Because like what you said if this was the future of the ufc and it was like boxing it would takes years for a fight like this to happen.
I know it’s his coach but Volk is taking zero risk here. If he wins it’s some amazing feat and he’s the double champ. If he loses he was always the “smaller guy” and the position in his division and his belt is untouched. Nobody cares about the p4p ranking so whether he’s 1 or 2 everybody will continue to know he’s one of the absolute best fighters now or ever.
@@thenotorioushunter2069 that’s just not true. The p4p ranking is voted on by journalist, and is ridiculed by fans and fighters for how bullshit it is. That is the only thing volk is risking here. Just like Izzy risked nothing when he moved up to lhw and lost against Jan
@@NothingSussed 😂😂 no he didn’t. That shit was the tiniest blip in his career, and then came back and had three straight title defenses. You can hear it in every build up to his fights how he’s still the best hands down and that he was extremely competitive against someone at least 10 to 20 pounds heavier.
Crazy to think someone's undefeated streak will come to and end seeing alot of unexpected things happen in MMA last year and we're only in February now
I have been asking people "What do you think of this weekends fights?" Literally everyone i asked IRL have said "What fights?" and "There's fights this weekend?" But they all have heard of Slap Fight. Many even have seen in on there Cable TV channels.
Love fights like these that introduce me into another fighter that's amazing and level headed ... I'm a new fan of Alex hate it took this long before finding him
@@crispyhandle I'm new to the ufc learning new fighters everyday ... Idk why to be honest to your question but I'm glad it did holy cow Alex is a beast
Volk not being content and giving himself the challenge that he is speaks volumes. He's a man in search of unattainable perfection, and that is admirable. Hope he can pull it off!
If really, no one interesting in Volkanovski and exactly in Makhachev *1.* The result is known in advance *2.* They're boring. exactly Makhachev. they can't selling PPV (Islam can sell some PPV only in his Arabia). *UFC must promoting fighters with charisma and great future like Ilia Topuria is. or young talents like Raul Rosas is..*
Nah. Islam will dominate. Everyones still underestimating his striking. Same story before the Oliveira fight. Everyone saying Oliveira would dominate the striking and we saw how that one played out.
Actually this is an opportunity because it will be his biggest payday and he doesn’t lose his belt, so he’s guaranteed another PPV fight at featherweight win or lose.
@@Internet_Joker you guys are so fucking annoying, dont have an ounce of respect in your body. Hes just praising volk for taking the challenge and you idiots still make it negative. Fuck you, you the actual person, fuck you
I don't get why everyone's saying Islam's size is such an advantage. Like, Volk is used to being bigger, his reach is actually slightly longer, and being the shorter fighter usually makes taking them down harder. Plus, if Volk can carry his speed into this matchup it will be insane-he made Holloway (who has incredible hand-speed) look silly in the last fight.
Ahhh... one of those conundrums again. I'd love to believe in the power of prayer. But wasn't it God who allowed this earthquake to happen in the first place? Isn't it kinda... schizophrenic to ask the arsonist for help when it burns?

@@Ozzyozzysheesh Makhachev is a coward fighting a 145 pound striker instead of fighting 170 pound wrestlers. 170 is where he belongs. He's weak. He's scared of the Burns, Colby, Usman, and Khamzat (who also needs to move up in weight).
I didn’t like that shit 😒 Leave Max alone
@@truthoverlies6434 he def will, after he is done with 155
@@villager2838 colby will smoke makachev soon
So pumped for Josh man iv been watching him forever dudes a beast.
I wish he was better at promoting himself because his fights are always fucking bangers and he deserves more recognition for it
Give time...
He’s a veteran for sure
@@uckyYuckySoul agreed man, it’s hard for these dudes who are just genuine nice guys to play up who they are. But I also think guys like Josh are content knowing the real fans know him and know how much he puts into his fights and know he’s gonna deliver. Win or lose Josh comes out of this fight with more recognition and more fans.
Ufc needs to promote this more
Embedded series is so dope. One of my favorite things about fight week besides the actual fight !!
Islam❤️❤️ your are winning brother love you from INDIA 🇮🇳 wish you all the best brother

"I am gonna give him hard time here and he never gonna come back to 155" - Islam Makachev 9:21
Quote of the Year Awards 2023 🥇
Islam Makachev = #1 P4P in 5 days
Screenshot this comment and see you all soon!
It's funny that even his coach Javier doesn't believe Islam's record deserves* the #2 spot on pfp, and he is 100% correct.
Damn, I’ve been waiting for this embedded series all year!!
why is josh’s voice so soothing
“And he never gonna come back to 155” 9:24 Islam is so funny but the thing is he’s 100% serious
Everyone’s excited for this fight because everyone wants to witness the impossible happen. It most likely won’t, but just the thought of Alex pulling off this major upset really excites me.
Impossible? Why ? Such disrespect for volk, he is far more accomplished in the ufc than what Islam is. Islams claim to fame is beating Charles which 8 other people already have done aswell.
@@Chris-sf2cp Yeah certainly not impossible, everyone making out like Islam is some undefeated immortal destroyer LOL. That said he is legit AF but he really only has 2 good wins (Olives and Arman)
Volk has a very good chance, hes just not the favorite. Its not gunna be like the biggest upset in UFC history if he wins…Volk is p4p #1 for a reason but this is Islam’s division and he has the clear advantage
@@Chris-sf2cp Oh Charles is nothing now? I bet you "knew" he was going to submit Islam at that time as well. You'll stay salty for a long long time.
Is that how everyones genuinely looking at it? I have absolutely no idea who get the W. Rooting for Aiex
That's sick that team Volk & the aussie braddahz were rocking Hawaiian Kickboxer! Aloha from Maui, Hawaii🤙🏽🤙🏽
Boxing needs to be more like ufc and make big matches happen more often, this is why ufc is on top they always got legendary fights in place.
That is also why ufc fighters get paid so little, money has to get distributed further and will cause more losses and each fighter will have less value.
For our amusement ufc fighters get used and thrown out after a couple years.
Exactly, boxing cares about money more than legacy so they put their superstars up against no body’s so they can look good and look like their the best. In the ufc, fighters say f it and put it all on the line for us fans!! That’s why this sport is the freaking best!!
@@yardtoot4780 nah there's amazing fighters and so many levels since boxing is a old sport, boxers don't stand out because they been doing this as kids, lots don't really have a life yet.
MMA will be the same once these organizations end up becoming belts organizations and turn like boxing. These fighters will get tired of getting used and fight for money. security.
@@BigPat6521I disagree, the UFC never had or never will never baby their champs or superstars for money and value. It will always be the best going against the best. And UFC fighters aren’t getting used. Idk why you say that? They fight because they wanna fight and prove their the best by beating the best, their not forced to fight. Islam and Alex literally challenged each other live without no negotiating, as a fan that’s what I want to see. Screw negotiating about money, just make it happen!
@@BigPat6521 but who tf knows. if your right, you better enjoy this era of the ufc. You got these two badass mfs fighting each other with what you call little money on the line. You should feel lucky to witness this match up. Because like what you said if this was the future of the ufc and it was like boxing it would takes years for a fight like this to happen.
That Thumbnail 😂😂😂
Max walkout song is everyday song for volk's camp🤣🤣 so funny
Rolling with Volk no matter what.
You and me both, brother.
All fucking day baby!!!!
I want him to win this one so bad
@@heassik3088 Me too 😭😭😭😭
He’s a beast but Islam is too big for 155 he can go 170 if he wants
Respect to Volk. Dude is badass
I know it’s his coach but Volk is taking zero risk here. If he wins it’s some amazing feat and he’s the double champ. If he loses he was always the “smaller guy” and the position in his division and his belt is untouched. Nobody cares about the p4p ranking so whether he’s 1 or 2 everybody will continue to know he’s one of the absolute best fighters now or ever.
Both are taking a risk, it's not a one or the other thing.
@@thenotorioushunter2069 that’s just not true. The p4p ranking is voted on by journalist, and is ridiculed by fans and fighters for how bullshit it is. That is the only thing volk is risking here. Just like Izzy risked nothing when he moved up to lhw and lost against Jan
@@robertsilva68 are you serious? Izzy lost so much hype and prestige when he moved up and got his ass humbled
@@NothingSussed 😂😂 no he didn’t. That shit was the tiniest blip in his career, and then came back and had three straight title defenses. You can hear it in every build up to his fights how he’s still the best hands down and that he was extremely competitive against someone at least 10 to 20 pounds heavier.
volk is also putting his 25 win streak on the line as well
There's a huge cyclone headed towards New Zealand right now, it better not knock out my power or internet right before this fight on sunday lol
What an ending. “I’m gonna give him hard time here, and he never gonna come back to 155.”
LETSS GOOO UFC EMBEDDED GOATED
🔥 🔥
This couldnt get any bigger! Double Champ!
Let’s gooo!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Crazy to think someone's undefeated streak will come to and end seeing alot of unexpected things happen in MMA last year and we're only in February now
So Awesome Seeing These Fighters At Perth MMA Places!!
Yesss they got Jack Della Maddalena in the embedded!!! I'm so pumped for his fight!!!
Mans a monsta
He’s a scrub compared to Jimmy Sutaz
Josh Emmett is the most underrated featherweight. Hits like an absolute truck and never in a boring fight.
Except the Kattar fight which he lost.
@@RagingOatmeal It was still an exciting fight.
Dude, emmet hits hard, i really like his fighting style to be honest.
Yair cracks also
@@lacosa24x nah. He just kicks. Without that he is nothing
Yair gonna be surprised I think
@@shaidanwheel6199 you must not have watched his 3 last fights
@@lacosa24x may be not
THANKS 4 COMING BACK TO PERTH UFC!!!
I'm so excited for Volk Islam fight and Yair too definitely gonna be exciting fight if not more exciting than the main
That sound Movlid did before tapping out. Jeez
Dude movlid tapped, wtf? Movlid dominated herbert burns in grappling
LETS GO LITTLE KRATOS!!
I have been asking people "What do you think of this weekends fights?"
Literally everyone i asked IRL have said "What fights?" and "There's fights this weekend?"
But they all have heard of Slap Fight. Many even have seen in on there Cable TV channels.
I'm w that guy idl "country & western" either 😅
Super excited for this card! Ufc is amazing.
fake account
Thank Dana and Hunter Campbell the most
Your mom is also amazing, super excited to visit her again tonight
@@adamhull9994 its an inside joke, look it up. Dana White wrote this yo everyone commenting a power slap post and made himself look fool once more
Pretty pumped for this one. Historical event.
Love fights like these that introduce me into another fighter that's amazing and level headed ... I'm a new fan of Alex hate it took this long before finding him
Why did it take this fight for you to be introduced the #1 p4p fighter? Could just spend 2 minutes a year following the sport and u would know him
@@crispyhandle I'm new to the ufc learning new fighters everyday ... Idk why to be honest to your question but I'm glad it did holy cow Alex is a beast
Volk not being content and giving himself the challenge that he is speaks volumes. He's a man in search of unattainable perfection, and that is admirable. Hope he can pull it off!

My word , I was so waiting for this.
so?
Damn the gym Islam is training looks 🔥 🔥
Holy shit I forgot this fight was this week!!!!
UFC forgot about it aswell
Dana too busy promoting his slapping
yeah, lack of promoting will do that... haha
If really, no one interesting in Volkanovski and exactly in Makhachev
*1.* The result is known in advance
*2.* They're boring. exactly Makhachev. they can't selling PPV (Islam can sell some PPV only in his Arabia).
*UFC must promoting fighters with charisma and great future like Ilia Topuria is. or young talents like Raul Rosas is..*
Casuals
JDM is the real deal. He's going to really blow up after the highlight reel knockout on saturday.
Josh Emmett getting that good mojo from Combat Wombat, I see you! 👍🤣
The Dagestan crew waiting outside the gym for the key was hilarious XD
Volkanovski doesn't wait for opportunities, he asks for the best fighters and that's why he will be the pound for pound number 1 🐐
Nah. Islam will dominate. Everyones still underestimating his striking. Same story before the Oliveira fight. Everyone saying Oliveira would dominate the striking and we saw how that one played out.
Actually this is an opportunity because it will be his biggest payday and he doesn’t lose his belt, so he’s guaranteed another PPV fight at featherweight win or lose.
Volkanovski is definitely losing this fight lmao😂
@@Internet_Joker you guys are so fucking annoying, dont have an ounce of respect in your body. Hes just praising volk for taking the challenge and you idiots still make it negative. Fuck you, you the actual person, fuck you
@@PB22559 imagine if Islam fought at his actual weight class.
Brother Dagestani people training everyday 🤣🤣🤣
Rare to see so many respectful competitors. Nice to see 👊
When it switches to the Josh Emmett training clip. Holy crap he looks scary.
Volk playing Max's walkout song in the beginning like he owns it.
I think as a former rugby player with 200lbs,he knows how much power a fighter with 155lbs has. I'm rooting for Volkanovski 💪
What a joker
Volk has had fights at 155 already.
Not only that but he has finishes at Welterweight prior to UFC
I don't get why everyone's saying Islam's size is such an advantage. Like, Volk is used to being bigger, his reach is actually slightly longer, and being the shorter fighter usually makes taking them down harder. Plus, if Volk can carry his speed into this matchup it will be insane-he made Holloway (who has incredible hand-speed) look silly in the last fight.
@@edith02 coz Islam is bigger & stronger than Volk right now, lol
Good episode but let's pray for our brothers and sisters from Turkish and Syria 🙏
Ahhh... one of those conundrums again. I'd love to believe in the power of prayer. But wasn't it God who allowed this earthquake to happen in the first place? Isn't it kinda... schizophrenic to ask the arsonist for help when it burns?
