"Hey guys grab the camera, I'll just ruin this mans day" - Henry Cejudo to Countdown production team probably

[@bovinejoannie9429]

The coach has loved negative attention his while life. He can't coach. Fire him. Good job cejudo

It was to keep it from romours, and False accusations, he obviously didnt trust the Guy. Volk is slow, so are you.

[@Dave-ng7ee]

It's fake and everyone gobbles it up like pelicans, Cejudo is too smart to know the negative press this would bring when you put that shit on countdown, this is a Trojan horse and I wonder if Merab knows it.

[@cloudlight9784]

Volk just has all the qualities that you would want in a champion. He and Max are already legends in this sport and they haven't even retired yet

[@dreadnaughttactical]

Yeah.. Volk has been to the Top.. he pretty much cleared out the whole entire Featherweight division.. but his time has come to an end.. these young hungry Lions like Ilia Topuria are just more hungry than he is.. and they want it more. Volk's last fight vs Islam has put a crack in his confidence whether he admits it or not.. you dont take a headkick KO loss and bounce back 100% for your next fight. You have been a Great Champion Volk.. but your time has come. Ilia Topuria will be the next Featherweight Champion.. and with Volk no longer on Top.. the division opens up once again for Max.. Yair.. Ortega.. and others. I hope Volk will move permanently to Lightweight if he loses.. as he has already proved that he is the greatest Featherweight in UFC history.
