Ufc fans are very toxic unfortunately, there’s also hundreds of thousands of casuals, the sport is growing so a lot of new fans are coming in

Don’t conflate the causal fans who don’t appreciate the fighters to die hard ones. Anyone reasonable knows the younger hungry fast fighter has a chance to win. Volk was a dominant champion. Your prime does not last long. Hope UFC does right by him and gives a long break to rest from two concussions…

[@BIGWORMTHEGERM]

Lol shut up all these volk fans made it seem like volk was about to bully ilia and they couldn’t be more wrong so they deserve to be trashed and remained for the next weeks why Volk let ‘em all down and didn’t make one thing he said come true all that trash talking bout how no own would no ilia after tonight 😂

[@hybridlycanemperor1771]

This is why I like Volk as a fighter He doesn't make excuses , he understands the mistakes he made goes back to the drawing board then retrains and then challenges the guy again after he makes the corrections. So the next time, they run it back. It's gonna be a whole different story

[@G.I_Jane]

nope, a knockout loss like isn't just something you go back to the drawing board for. He needs time off and long one.

[@ezenatiello2017]

Yeah he will get ko in the first round, a whole different story

[@fil4648]

I feel you're overlooking the reality of aging and accumulating damage. I doubt he will ever be the same, as much as that saddens me.

[@ByTexify]

@@ezenatiello2017 You people forget that he actually won the first round on all the judges cards, he just needs to rest his chin for a while then maybe we can see him bounce back

[@hasindukumara5358]

​@@ByTexifyplus, he needs to have a new game plan with the rematch. Illia was timing volk's jab too much. And volk's head movement goes to sleep in the pocket. Gotta improve on that.

Even in defeat Alex I'd the best. There is not one bad thing anyone can say about Alex. He is a true example of an amazing human being.

[@fcfc2797]

This is why we all love Volk. True champ. However, I do think part of his response here is giving all credit to Ilia without taking any blame himself. He is older now and does not have the same chin he used to

[@jocollantes4258]

Volk called it... from the get go he knows the best way Ilia win is by catching him with a power punch. And the new champ did just that.. Topuria deserved the respect he earned. Good sport on Volk for bringing into focus the new champs strength.

[@moneymarc6837]

And the new champion of the world Illia Touporia 👑👑

let other fighters challenge topuria, no rematch

[@sibe6096]

rematch? for what? he got slept, next

[@LgoFmf]

​@@ilhamwahyurakadiansyah800Volk deserves an opportunity to fight a rematch. Volk was working the kicks nicely and holding his own in the boxing, not to mention Volk likes to follow gameplans and do his homework on his opponents. I do think Volk is in shape to keep fighting, I think it is possibly the damage to the head that has caught up to him, he is struggling to make the right decisions in the cage and is open to shots. Volk should go to LW tbh, there's an opportunity to fight Arman there, and either opponent is probably next in line for the title if they win.

[@capnjelly6370]

[@alexandervaratharajah5669]

He has no excuses for himself. But the fans know it had a massive impact. 4 months was not enough time for that concussion and now he’s had another. For his health he should take a long break and either have one last run and retire on top or just straight up retire. He has nothing to prove to anyone. He is the goat fw 🐐
