Ppl keep using Ferguson as an example of not walking away soon enough , meanwhile Andrei Arlovski still going lol
Lesson has to be for every champ to retire on their 35th birthdau
Volk is a warrior but he should rest for 6 months, 2 KO's in a row can't be healthy.
Ilia's an amazing boxer and very fun to watch, it's great for the sport that he's champ 💪
Man… I'm a huge Islam Makhachev fan and wanted Islam to win when he was going up against Volk both times…But oddly, Volk has grown on me and has made me a fan of his also. Like you truly care about Volk because 1 he is legit a good guy with a good heart and 2 he is a fu*king absolute legend and 1 of the best featherweight champions if not the BEST…He was Pound for Pound #1 and has fought and beat almost every style out there…Volk is a professional inside and outside the cage…Gained his whole fan base strictly off of hard work, his skills and consistently winning proving everyone wrong…… Which is why seeing Volk this way and him saying what happened, freaking actually hurts me as a fan…I don't think Volk is done yet and he still has a few more fights in him, I just really hope his team, Drs, family, and close ones tell him ok Volk that's it you're taking a minimum 1 Year off. The UFC should guarantee Volk that when he is ready to come back whether it's 6 months from now or 1 year from now, A title fight will be waiting for him no matter who is CHAMP. Love you Volk and keep your head up, you are a future Hall of Famer and a Legend!!!!
Soft jaw
The thing is, in this sport you retire soon enough while being the goat or you'll get drowned eventually. Look what happened with Silva, Tony… Khabib and GSP were the smartest ones following that idea. They are humans too, age and time doesn't forgive anyone
McGregor hugged Topuria
Fighters 35+ will continue to lose to 27+ beast fighters. Time is undefeated.
Love seeing an ego get checked
Alexander the no so great anymore volkonovski
We can't pretend volk was 100% after getting head kicked at 155 a short time ago.
2 robbers now, I feel sorry Volk's child… He just woke up🤣🤣🤣
Nobody seems to notice what Volk is saying. "What was the set-up?" He didn't need to ask what shot it was — he trained the entire camp to not get hit with the right-hand, he wanted to know how Ilia set him up for the shot.
Just imagining being volk waking up and coming to and seeing topuria on the big screen celebrating and then it shows your own face trying to make sense of what is going on is eeriee
illia vs Max would be nice
But if illia vs Volk 2 DOESNT happen, thats disrespectful
The indight adjustment by Illia was Volks undoing. In the first round, Topuria maintained the centre of the octagon for most of the fight, throwing onesies and two punch combinations, but Volk was slipping out of most with his movement.
In the second round, Illia pushed Volk closer to the cage so he wouldn't have much space to stay elusive, then he threw about 4 punches, and the fourth one landed. Thats was a great watch, I'm sad for Volk, doesn't taint his greatness in my eyes but I'm also happy for El Matador.
Volk is too humble and self reflecting to fall very far from this. He’ll be right back up there. Don’t lie to yourselves like this man and you’ll be like him.
Slept at the press conference and woke up in the post conference 😂😂😂
I think volk actually beats illa just when you get headkicked ko by a guy as big as Islam you have to take your time before getting back in there he was just knocked out 4 months ago there was no reason to rush back.
Probably was getting cracked in training also and never gave himself anytime to heal.
Hopefully he doesn’t fight again till next year his body needs it
Volk’s head coach is feeding him wrong info. Literally everyone was saying to take some time off after Islam’s KO. It’s just pure biology. And then if you add the age and the mental state, what is the reason to take this? He already renewed a new contract. There was absolutely zero reason to take this. He needs less yes men around him.
One more thing, the fact he kept saying a puncher’s chance and the way he kept moving away during the fight you could see how it got to him. I really hope he takes time off like Izzy and bounces back on top.
Glad I was able to be there to see it
Topuria should thank for islam's kick. Volk's movement was not really confident in round 1
Ilia would’ve beaten any volk he’s too good been saying it
He said what happened
The finish didn’t surprise me one bit. Even though Volk is a beast, I knew Ilia was going to take it by KO, in the first or second round, maybe third
Illia vs Max is the next Gaethje vs Tony. Max is a legend but he's been around for quite a couple of years and he won't be able to keep up with a young champion like Ilia. He will take too much damage he won't be able to recover from. It's Ilia's reign now.
I never realized how beat up the other hug was volk was putting in the work watching it again
Good fight
This aint sad at all. He's over hyped
He didn’t recover from that career changing head kick by Islam he should’ve taken time off 🤦♂️
Volk started believing his own hype. Dressing up as an old man, and he got put away like one!
Eu fiquei triste pelo Vulkanovisk ele parece ser gente boa mais uma hora até os melhores caem
Volk will definitely win the rematch he got caught believe me
Tupuria spanish Blood spartan legacy 😮
Volk got a lot more in him, he takes the toughest fights that’s y he’s been champ, legend at that 💯💯💯
Volk shpuld have tried setting up takedowns. It was clear after first 2 mins of rd1 that Volk couldn't kickbox agsinst Ilia. During whole fight, Volk was running away, collecting points, feeling Ilia's punches while Ilia spent the whole time hunting for a KO. Volk had always been someone who would have managed to create perfect tactics but now that was not the case at all.
Vamos Ilia!👍🇪🇦💪
City Kickboxing is losing right now
Kamaru syndrome is a real thing. The earlier you realize it the longer you live.
😊😊😮🎉🎉❤❤❤
That age 35 year man
