Yeah, but was dominant at the end and if the fight would have went on he came out on top. Islam is one of the most dominant fighters in the UFC and Volk nearly beat him. Plus Islam is a cardio machine and Alex was visibly the fresher fighter at the end. He was super impressive. P4P the best for sure

His dedication to improvement and hard work is his open secret. Great champion, proud aussie and top bloke. Great analysis and respect from Mike.

The amazing well-roundedness of Volkanovski reminds me of Demetrious Johnson during the era he had the flyweight division on lockdown. Absolutely domination in timing, distance management, level change and a crazy good ground game. Although Mighty Mouse never garned the same popularity and respect as Volk, it is nice to finally see a smaller dude getting the well deserved props.

The craziest part of his dominance is his activity. He comes in looking as prepared and composed for a fight as anyone, but he fights with nearly twice the frequency of any other champion. If he took a full year between fights I doubt anyone in the division would survive the 1st round

He use to play rugby league which is basically wrestling for 80mins. And he played in the forwards. Which is like offensive/defensive lineman. Not only that, rugby league is wrestling the opponent to the ground and trying to dominate. Definitely transferable skills in terms of skill (wrestling), strength and cardio.

However, after what he has done, it is literally impossible to not be a fan of his. He might honestly be the best fighter we've ever seen and on top of that the way he carries himself is nothing short of inspiring.

This video, alone, puts this Michael Chandler as one of the absolute best things to ever happen to the fighting world, ever, and I’m standing by that. What this man just did for a fellow fighter, cannot be put into words. The absolute highest possible honour/privilege and humility come to mind, but even then, barely scratch the surface. One of the greatest to watch, ACTIVE AND CEREBRALLY SENTIENT, fighters, just said all this. Just think about that for a wee moment.
