"Keep him no.2, keep me #3." The best line from the interview. He's free of the biased thinking of others. It didn't mean anything to him! A free fighter is dangerous fighter! His mind is free from the thoughts and opinions of others, and completely focused on his path.

Volk is one of the best strikers in UFC history yet got beaten on the feet by Makhachev. Being able to beat both of them in a short span of time then knock out a living legend like Volk just shows he's levels above the rest. 13 undefeated win streak.

He got caught and Islam executed a perfect headkick that went over his hand. Makhachev beat Oliveira (who was seen as unvincible) and Volk in a short span of time. Now he has knocked out Volk who would've been considered the GOAT if he went on to win the LW title. People can insult these Dagestani's and other Russians all they want.

Now I think Islam definitely deserves to be #1 P4P until Jon beats Stipe.

[@neelomrajkhanikar7504]

True...Islam is good in both ground and kick-box and also got a huge cardio......he is a complete fighter💪🏻

[@calvincalvin3132]

Very good. I thought last fight he would headkick volk did not expect it this time

[@lowang9708]

I like how he doesn't care about P4P, screw them.

[@FreeEatss]

Don’t worry khabib/islam haters, there’s still gaethje. Makhachev just ended your bandwagon and gave answers to all questions like he said he would. AND STILL, I don’t wanna hear any excuses so keep coping. Just exposed volks biggest weakness and now topuria will capitalize as well

[@Moneybaggbanda]

He nullified his wrestling, almost took him down. Got caught with a ko head kick , you can’t tell me he planned on ko’ing him . If anything the plan was to submit him , once he realized he couldn’t do that he started striking more , unfortunately for volk he was weary of the take down and got kod clean . Be real bro .

[@dabo150]

Volks biggest weakness was not getting prep time and coming off an injury + surgery tho? Like dont get me wrong Islam without a doubt is the better fighter at LW, but stop being delusional.

[@DarkWarrior_1]

@@Moneybaggbanda But gamrot is gona ragdoll islam. He has unlimited stamina and superior wrestling with very decent striking defense. Islam makhachev is ducking gamrot.

That champion mentality is different won a fight did not like how close it was vowed to never have a close fight again thats scary

After this win, I now finally believe in him. He's a complete fighter.

[@boxjellyfish.]

Islam is indeed an incredible and dangerous fighter, I think people still underestimate him because of his laid-back and calm personality that doesn't give a vibe that he is a killer

[@Bors09]

Volkanovski will never be the same again.

He will, Great man and warrior tbh .. even tho I disliked him after the first fight because of the HIV thing but he will come back stronger

[@rehmanmaqsood2639]

Brilliant absolutely brilliant this guy is amazing. Those who doubted him, now they've realized he can pursue his journey without Khabib.

[@uchiha2gud]

To be fair Khabib did train him in this camp in Abu Dhabi. Khabib just wasnt cage side b/c if he showed supported for Islam cage side than he would have to go to every other fighter in there group cage side. But he did train with him during this camp. The one in Australia he didnt, but still won 3-2 or even 4-1 there.

MAKACHEV definitely P4P KING RIGHT NOW

[@slickperspective]

I used to see a flood of arguments and haters of Makhachev on social media before. "Volk was robbed, he actually won!". Although multiple breakdown videos suggest Islam won that first fight against Volk but the fans didn't buy that. They see Islam with bruise face and a black eye, as if he's begging for his life, Volk won that fight. Then today Islam proves to the haters that he's the ONLY dude who can knock OUT Volk in first round. Wow.
