Volkanovski has been such a surprise. Who would expect a former rugby player who once weighed over 200lbs to become a great featherweight champion. It’s such an unusual path to greatness. Really respect the guys fight IQ and ability to do exactly what needs to be done to win, from one fight to the next. Also, escaping multiple locked-in submissions in the Ortega fight, escalated him to the upper echelon of all time featherweight champs. Much respect ✊🏼

Nobody can question Ortega's heart, but he is too damn tough for his own good. In both his title opportunities he took a shellacking against both Holloway and Volkanovski. However you can't help but be impressed by Volk's submission defence, grappling IQ and his heart as well. 99% of fighters T-City locks that mounted guillotine in, they tap or nap, but not Volk. He taps or naps out 80-90% of fighters with that triangle, but once again, not Volk.

That defense against Ortega was impressive AF. Alexander wasn’t having any of that submission BS and he let Brian know it.

Great compilation to see how much his style has changed over his career in the UFC. Came in as this wrestle-boxer who would put people on the ground and then just beat them up with pace and pressure. Then he has his big coming out party against Mendes (where people expected he would lose against a man who also wrestles and boxes, but is better/hits harder), and he comes out with a feint heavy game, and using a good jab, to now, where he's always striking, but also has the GnP in his back pocket like he did to Ortega.

He hates aussies , but his wife is one . Every time an Aussie fights he is biased against them

The progression is amazing! From the start to now!

Alexander The Great!!! Dude lives up to the name no doubt!

volkanovsky has maximized a combination of power with step in forward movement without overcomitting or leaving himself too open

So glad they are all coming around on Volk after that last war like they finally did for DC. Its because the Max fights were so close and he is so loved! He beat the hell out of Ortega but extreme respect for him staying in it and almost finishing. Fight coulda been stopped several times.

And he’s just improved so much since easily the p4p king what a unit

He’s a beast and getting better

Such a tough bloke and a deadset bloody legend

There's a reason he's called the great

Lately volk's striking and pace is on a completely different level, was never a big fan of him before but can't hate on greatness.

When you play 2nd grade pro rugby in nsw (by far the most competitive sport in nsw Australia) in the prop position, the most physical position on the field (where the average player in that position are 120kg/250pounds+ monsters) and not just that, win the leagues mvp medal…in comparison the 145 pounders look tiny - Alex has said as much in interviews. That environment, and the determination it took be successful there in it as a 5’6er I believe translated to his massive domination now, and remember he only start MMA at something like 26 or 27. Here’s a man who wouldn’t let his size define him, all the cards were stacked again him. He came from no money and risked everything with his young family (taking out loans and holding community fundraisers to get over and train with Tiger muy tai in the hopes to chase his dream. Love you Volko and thankyou coach Joe Lopez for finding and taking on this totally unique talent

Super smart and universal martial artist and great video. In each fight he never underestimated anyone and always had steel-strong patience. Great boxing basics and super fast hands with bombs!

Volk is a monster. One of the most well rounded mixed martial artists in the game. I still think Max won that 2nd fight, but don’t think he can beat Volk after that Ortega fight. Idk how he didn’t fall asleep 🤯🤯🤯

The problem with fighting Volk is that when you jump in to attack him he's throwing right back at you and he has great instincts when his head is down. He seems to know exactly where your head is going to be and keeps his head down so you can't land anything on the parts you want to hit. For fighters like Holloway who like to look straight ahead when they strike its a nightmare.

Alexander The Great, nuff said!

Mendes vs Volk is a classic. Epic.

He also has tree trunk thighs.

Ever since the Chad Mendes fight, I thought Volk would lose. Thought Chad would outwrestle him, thought Aldo would brutalize him, thought Max would obliterate him, twice, thought Ortega would submit him. But each time he proved me wrong and I doubted him for far too long. He's on his way to being one of the greatest of all-time. And I went from shrugging him off to being a big fan. I don't see anyone beating him either.

"I'm Max Holloway's worst nightmare". 😬😬.. He clearly knew something we didn't 🤷

his fight against brian ortega gave me so many chills

That right hand to Elkins face was PERFECT. Went right into that choke hold to finish after. He put his entire body into that throw in that right hand 👌 🔨 💥

Volk is an absolute savage

I haven’t followed this weight class since aldo was champ and after seeing this guy omg 😂😂 . He’s a short pit bull . Straight bullying the bigger guys.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE FIGHTERS....STYLE HEART ROUGH AND PERSAVERENCE!!!!🥰💖🙏

It's criminal how underrated the Volk is. He is one of the most rounded fighters with insane stamina and a genius level fight IQ. Max is going to have one hell of a fight on his hands for the trilogy!!

Volk is such a beast my goodness.

volk is one of the most well rounded fighter in the whole Ufc..He can strike,kick and a good wrestler and his defence is just great..he can take hits and his cardio is another level..

Man I was there when I saw him fight chad Mendez when he retired. He was putting in hella work

Volkanovski kind of reminds me of mini-Rocky Marciano. Rocky, was known to train hard for every fight and was always in phenomenal shape. And when it was fight time, he went 100%. He threw every punch with power and didn't stop until the opponents can't take anymore of it. The vibe I get from Volkanovski is very similar to his!

Unpopular opinion I think Volk has Max's number at 145 , I don't see Max getting the belt back his career is on the decline with all the damage he has taken , thought Yair Rodriguez got robbed against Holloway, I don't see anyone beating Volk for awhile at 145 , imo Volk won clearly both fights Incoming emotional Max fanbois calling me a casual
