Volkanovski is still the best fighter in the world one round longer and Islam would have lost via ko,after the third round he lost his stamina and tried to hold him with wrestle on the ground,he would have lost if 4th round would have been in stand up,in my opinion Volkanovski won
Alhamdoelilla alhamdoelilla Islam alhamdoelilla
I mean he's amazing fighter but come on, if you Wana talk about your self the best on the world step up and fight welterweight champion and proof that!!!!
he'd be a much bigger star if he just had a little more carisma
great fight from both fighters…..I hope they have a rematch down the line…maybe after they defend belts once or twice….
Bros funny 2:22
You not best bro it should be rematch for that flight, n he's saying he's short he kick your ass down fam 😂
ESSA VC PERDEU CARA AMASSADA ! LEVOU O CINTURÃO NO GARFO ! VOLKA É O VERDADEIRO CAMPEÃO DESSA LUTA !
Didn't they call out Alex? Wouldn't you consider that picking an opponent?
Islam is not the greatest fighter in the world, volk is still #1 Islam is a joke, don't get me wrong islam is a great fighter but that fight he was not the better fighter, he panicked all he could do was hold him, that rule really needs to go.
Alex got robbed. Blatant and Bs
Islam you lose buddy and your not the best in the world
"For me, best guy in the world" awesome take on that question from Islam
حمدو الله 🤲
Volk brings less repertoire of Mixed Martial arts, a few low kicks, weak take down offensive, amazing take down defence, the rest is all boxing.
The fact this was his first time going 5 round is insane lol to go 5 with the p4p king don't matter the weight they both challenge themselves and both deliver one more then the other!!!!
Volk got the brain and the braun. P4P #1.
Ufc is the new wwe that shit is all fake this was a robbery
darniush
People are not gonna call you that 😂😂 maybe your people not all people, peoples champ is Volkanovski
islam won the fight. let’s accept it. now, for people who doesn’t want to accept it, let’s wait for the rematch.
So we have Volk stating in the post-fight conference that "I could have done more" and Islam saying "I figure I won 3 rounds and I didn't want to make a mistake". Clearly there is respect there, but in my mind the best pound for pound fighter wouldn't have to rely on points and just try to survive the last round after getting caught. Volk faught like a champ and Islam said it it himself: "It doesn't matter HOW I won". I think the damage on Islam's face as compared to Volk tells the whole story.
Congrats to islam Makhachev! Respect to Volk beaing such an amazing tough opponent! You are the best fighter in the world even lost the fight.Big respect to both champ. Makhachev is a true winner even won by decision and people should respect the winner!
Islam lost.
This fight was boring, I only watched 2 rounds.
He's avoiding the rematch question. If he knows he won decisively he would jump on the rematch to prove doubters wrong. He's got his tail tucked while he claims to be THE best fighter in the world. Well, if that's a fact he can take the heavyweight belt next as THE best fighter in the world.
Islam nearly lost this fight
Not a p4p fight… you can't have that prestige with 1 title defense against a champ from a lower weight division who hung in there with you…Volk is still the man. That's all team khabib cared about from the callout… and they lost their humbleness many fights ago. Run it back. There is no p4p… headshot.
Islam looked alot smaller and skinnier in this fight still got the W
Nope we gonna call you cheater
All i know fore sure is there is NO WAY there was a loser in this fight.
What are you talking about , Volk was number 1 fighter and Islam number two and he won being a guest in the hot country whereas it’s -30 in Dagestan . You expected this to be easy fight ? Jokes
I hope people stop calling him boring now. Dude stood up and fought like a warrior, it was an awesome fight from both sides.
I'm so impressed by them both, Volk is such a beast. Fighting the champ diractly in his LW debut in UFC is such a cool move.
Cant wait to see both guys go at it again, really hope for a rematch.
But Volk vs Yair Rodriguez is just a banger and i would like to see that one first. I dont know if we can have a rematch diractly between Islam and Volk.
Yair is an interim titleholder now in FW and shouldnt have to wait for too long. If Islam fights volk in summer again then yair will have to wait any longer.
Tough situation this one, volk wants to be active. Islam idk how active he wants to be, if he fights every 6 motnh then Volk will have to wait and fight Yair for FW-title.
If Yair beats him which he can cuz Yair is so unpredictible then the rematch between Islam vs Volk wont look as good because its not champ vs champ.
You are not the best fighter in the world
Immediate Rematch Required. Alex is the rightful winner
Respect to both of the fighters and thats was Awesome fight but personally Alex won three rounds,
He is not the best fighter in the world, Volk won that fight!
Islam jone Jones is not just a great fighter he is the living legend, nd reporter who is asking this question please don't compare Jone Jones to anyone 🙈
I heard he lost but still won. But haven't seen the fight yet. Gonna have to wait for a couple months to see the full fight
