Alexander "The Great" Volkanovski Talks UFC 245 Championship Fight with Max Holloway

[@simonamorim8178]

Think Alex is his hardest fight since aldo 1 and 2. Really dangerous guy who is smart and has technique. It s a tough fight for him though max is so long and won't break under his pressure or cardio. Should be a amazing scrap hoping both guys have a great night and a good performance either way. Good luck to alex

[@AAS-gw5mb]

Simon Amorim i think that max is still the better fighter though, i know you cant compare fights but when you look at what max did too aldo and what alexander did, max did a much better job and alex’s “power” wasnt super noticeable in his previous fight

[@WyattMatheson]

Max has them trex arms tho. Alex has the reach advantage.

[@AAS-gw5mb]

Wyatt Matheson 2.5 inches isnt a lot of reach and max is still 5 inches taller than him

[@_clintt]

why do reporters always ask about the holes in someones game as if theyre going to get an actual answer

[@shadowthefirst5115]

"Miss all the shots u dont take."

[@billymanley390]

Alex used to be a pro rugby player and weigh 210 pounds at 5ft6 Rugby requires the highest cardio out of all team sports in the world. To carry that weight and to now weigh 145 he is dumb explosive and insane cardio. Definitely future champ

[@JJj-xratedgt]

He has a BETTER CHANCE TO WIN THEN LOSE...MAX IS MY GUY & I CAN ONLY SAY BRING THAT HUNGER .

[@gwnchilenzo]

This guy is so nice and an animal aswell. Wish him the best!

[@stephen_crumley]

Volk is a great fighter, and a great human being. Love watching him fight. But he’s never seen anything close to what Max is gonna put on him. Yes the man is strong, yes he hits hard, yes he is fast, but do not forget that precision beats power and timing beats speed. And on top all of that, we’ve all seen numerous times that when Max turns the wick up to nuclear, no one can sustain his pace and conditioning. This will be a very very entertaining fight for the first 3 rounds, and then that avalanche known as Blessed will start to gain more and more momentum until Volk’s body completely gives out. A 5’-5” frame of big heavy bulky muscle mass is not a good combo against an endurance fighter with an iron chin. Im not saying Volk can’t land the perfect punch in early rounds as we’ve seen before, anything is possible but the likelihood of Max being flat lined is very very slim. Even a prime McGregor couldn’t KO a insanely young and very green Max.

[@jurkovich]

One thing i noticed in Volkanovski fights with Aldo and Mendes is how quick he is with those feints

[@michaelharper5421]

Max will be hungry but the memory of porier being so recent May haunt him once Alex hits him hard go aussie

[@RashimuEdit]

I find it funny how everyone brings up the porier fight, for someone who just moved up and gave poirer a run for his money. I think max will just do fine against volk, to be honest I look at volk as a younger and stronger version for frankie edgar or chad mendes. I think max footwork and distance management gonna be too much for volk.

[@Eltorogawd]

Faded people seem to forget max still out struck Dustin & almost finished him if he didn’t go for that flying knee , max takes this easy !! Alex hasn’t dealt with the movement & striking Holloway possesses , also max gets stronger as the fight goes on

[@zero-ds1gf]

Lmao people act like that wasn't a close fight. Max got rocked in the 2nd, recovered and outstriked Poirer the rest of the fight. Volk ain't KO him, nobody does. Max smokes him, there's nothing he hasn't faced.

[@pruthviv5034]

I’m a big max fan, but I love this matchup. May the best man win!

[@chrisburgess9962]

Let's go Champ! Proud of you and your character is unmatched in the organisation, humble family man, true martial artist with good outlook on the game, seems very balance between in his camps. Best luck bro!

[@hodan8905]

Y’all sleeping on him.

[@jin-gm1ge]

Alex will be one of the biggest challenges if not the biggest, that Max has faced but keep in mind, Max finished aldo twice. Alex went the distance with Aldo and although he did very well, he says hes got more power then porier. I dont think so. Plus Max's height will play a big role. As long as Max comes in shape and focused, plays the right game plan, he will come out on top. Best of to luck to Alex though dude is an absolute beast. Stoked for this fight, may the best man win

[@Cannabishealz]

This one is going to be a good one. Barn burner. This i feel will be Alexs hardest fight i believe as far as championship fighter. Looking forward to seeing this one.

[@googsy5773]

go alex .....max is due.

[@sil1315]

A lot of people counting Volko out already I think he’ll surprise everyone

[@majesticakaainu8704]

you did not just said that you hit harder than poirier :D

Majestic Akaainu I think he said he’s more “fit” than poirier

[@KenTronico]

Brendan Cassidy 2:20

[@santinomireles]

Alex used to weigh 200+. Hes dropped a lot of weight but I'm sure he hits just as hard as Dustin. Alex is a beast. Dont sleep on him.

Max is gonna walk right through him.

[@markdavis8430]

Faded you don’t no shit 😂😂😂

[@RashimuEdit]

@@markdavis8430 This fight is gonna be similar to the Frankie edgar fight. Max is gonna wanna keep on the feet and as for volk he gonna wanna get in the inside and use his wrestling. I just think max footwork and distance management gonna be too much for volk. I look at volk as a stronger and younger chad mendes and frankie edgar.

[@rades920]

Faded bruh you really don’t know shit this is Max’s hardest test besides dustin

[@zainnorton2151]

Huge fan of Max. But I don't see Max knocking him out so overall it's anyones game, whoever's better on the night will win..

[@Happycamper808]

Zman The Great how is not getting a ko make it anyones game? Max doeesnt ko people, he cooks them for 5 rounds

[@zainnorton2151]

@@Happycamper808 I agree with that and Max has relentless pressure and hasn't been OKed in his career. Alex has never lost a decision and both have great conditioning. So what I mean is both have a chance to take it home.. it's no like the Edgar fight, I leaned towards Max taking it for sure, he had to much reach. But then look at the Dustin fight and when he doesn't have to much of the reach advantage he tends to have a harder time, in this fight Alex has a reach advantage and he's a former kickboxing champ so it's a hard one to call.. don't get me wrong I do want Max to win this but you can't sleep on Alex.. he's a beast aswell so yeah that's my 2c

[@greengreensio]

Future champion. Go get that belt

[@candacecravesblackcockcovi2774]

Last time I was this excited for a fight was Khabib Vs El Cucuy than he blew his knee out... swear to god volk and max need to wrap themselves in bubble wrap until 244

[@32gigs96]

Jason Despaw max should move up instead of weight cutting at auschwitz every damn fight tbh. More interesting at lw plus he’s not gonna be able to make 145 in time anyway.

[@therooffairy5979]

Alex will need to connect hard early, get in the pocket and go for it in under 2 rounds or he is fukt.

[@DeLong1]

I wanna see Alexander vs khabib

[@brendancassidy9346]

Is he dipping?

[@Happycamper808]

Skills pay the bills, not strength. Dude gotta get max outta there early (not happening) if he wants to win. Volk is a cool dude but idk man.

[@zero-ds1gf]

Nobody gets max "out of there" not even Poirer. Volk has a good pace but Max has been tested and does not get tired. I don't understand why everyone is calling upset 🤦‍♂️

Agree brotha max got his hands full ,and if it wasn’t volk it wud of been zabit ,jus wanna see the best compete cuz that’s pretty much the rest of the class

[@kevg5883]

Jack Mehov Max would smoke Zabit, he gasses after 1 rd

[@kingkanz7575]

That’s the only fighters in my opinion that would compete with max. Other than Ferguson

[@izraellopez]

Conor took Aldo’s soul. Max really got the scraps and Alex is the much fresher guy.

[@gatekeeper3660]

Israel Lopez what did this fresher guy do to Aldo. Aldo was hurt and couldn’t kick. Trained once a week because of an infection and Alex couldn’t do jack.

[@izraellopez]

Max went the distance w an old Frankie. Couldn’t even stop him. The porier fight took some out of him for sure.

[@davidilijevski8942]

@@gatekeeper3660 pretty hard to take out a guy that's not engaging to fight u back

[@rainbowgg___]

To think Chad put him down but Alex just out manned him in that. Aldo didn’t really even land a clean shot. This confidence. Good pick but I find it hard to not pick Max. He’s a demon in full spirit

[@PrOBOY251]

Alex is strongest between the ears.

[@jd0696]

This kid is NOT living in reality!! You hit harder than Dustin? The new champ? Be on the top of the pound for pound list? Boy this kid has been day dreaming for months. Not 1 fight I’ve seen you be in, that was totally impressive. This is another Ortega story. Get back in line little boy!!!!

[@AlexRodriguez-ux3nc]

bet your house so

[@RashimuEdit]

Pretty delusional for you to say that. I see this fight being just like the frankie edgar fight. Max gonna wanna keep on the feet and as for volk he gonna wanna use his wrestling and get in the inside. Volk is like a younger and stronger version of chad mendes and frankie edgar. I just think max footwork, how he sticks and move, and distance management gonna be too much for volk.

[@dudeshamus1451]

Faded I think Volk’s mma boxing is better than that of Mendes and Edgar and he’s certainly stronger. I’m leaning towards Max but I think this is his biggest test at 145

[@AAS-gw5mb]

Im leaning towards max but I wouldnt say round 2 I think maybe 4 or by decision
