"On the piss" volk beats any heavyweight alive

[@TheJB_]

What’s beautiful is that even when he gives the slightest amount of confidence in regards to his fight with Max, he always follows it up with “not to be disrespectful.” I’m so happy this man is champ and to see his success. Such an incredible fighter but such a humble man and kind man too. These are the types of champions that truly need to be worshiped forever.

[@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13]

'Straya needs to be more excited about having a homegrown hero making history in the biggest show on the planet... He doesn't nearly get the hype he deserves at home. A great fighter, a great champion, a great father, a great Australian and a great role model. Alexander Volkanovski is a truly great man.

[@tau3457]

All power to him but nationalism is frowned upon in Aus.

[@robthevampireslayer3211]

Australian media purposely down plays UFC no matter that we have so many great fighters here. Women's Australian cricket gets more coverage.

[@js-sv6kw]

@@robthevampireslayer3211 MMA is still a niche sport practically everywhere except brazil. It gets little coverage in comparison to other sports in europe and the states too.

[@robthevampireslayer3211]

@@js-sv6kw it has nothing to do with UFC being a niche. The fact is the media in Australia is happy to force feed women's cricket and rugby league even though the fan base for these sports non existent. UFC in the states is massive.

He won me over when he told Colby “it’s ok to be a nerd and a virgin” hahaha man is so wholesome and solid all around

[@TyThree3]

This man is a beast and he should never be booed walking out again

[@deluxedecoy]

THE BEST CHAMP IN UFC. His mindset is amazing. Hes active. He never has a boring fight. Actually built different.

[@anasshahid224]

Volk is the man! So well spoken, humble, overall chill dude, excited to see him challenge either Islam or Charles for the LW title next year, should be a fun match 👏👏👏 Great interview as always Adam and BT Sport 🙌

[@aboukonate6637]

what a mentality, different 💪🏽

[@carldavies3193]

Very few people on Earth have a mentality like this guy. We must celebrate him while he's still fighting

[@MrMagoor]

Real rolemodel for young generation of fighters .

[@BodTheGrinch]

Not sure how a dude this physically dangerous can be so chilled out and seem like the perfect drinking buddy, but that's Volk. Top guy.

[@bluntedcorleone3628]

GOATED + BEAST + HUMBLE LEGEND

[@Boxing.motive]

Alex vs charles would be an insane super fight.. the magnitude of that fight would be at the highest of Highs, I truly hope charles gets it done so we can have this fight happen!

[@dootpooter4740]

The bad part is that Islam didn't even deserve a title shot to become champ, and his first defense is gonna be outside the division? NAH! UFC = WWE now

[@frankomar12]

As wise man named Ameen once said, "Even with all the incredible fights and fighters, I have to admit this is the best interview of fight week (UFC 280). Both Adam and volk gel together very well."

[@ThePc-DjHub]

Easily one of my favorite fighters

[@benjaminjensen6448]

Adam is the best jornalist in the sport!

Best "Mantality" in UFC

I don’t even feel bad for saying this, I hope Islam misses weight 🤞 give me Charles vs Volks!

[@waynemcauliffe2362]

Aussie Champ

[@dootpooter4740]

Ya but he needs to start speaking up about the government in Australia and the tyranny they pushed on their people because of muh scary covid. If he did that, he would be a Champion of Humanity, not just MMA.

As they said, no ill will wished upon Islam or Charles... But a big part of me prefers the Volk fight, hopefully its not too far down the line regardless, he deserves it.

[@umar5138]

I think dana said volk is the next for LW title fight

[@dootpooter4740]

He deserves it but the problem is guys in the actual division REALLY deserve it. Beneil should get the next title shot 100% or the UFC is basically WWE

[@masoprid3]

volkanovski the Macedonian Australian champ 💪🇲🇰🇭🇲

[@J1283-s1k]

Even if Usman hadn't lost to Edwards I would have still been tempted to consider Volk P4P number 1 anyway. How he absolutely dominated Zombie to a TKO then absolutely dominated another P4Per in Holloway who's been on a tear barely 3 months later? Insanity.

[@jayjacob6855]

Imagine Volk knocking out Islam after Charles misses weight again😀

[@googsy5773]

me thinks volk fancys a fight with Arnold A!..............like to see that one !!!! yair/emmet are far too precious...................

[@DOOMMAKEDONIA]

I think he beats both of them easy I think he’s the only one that will give Volk a challenge in the featherweight division

[@jamesmorley6806]

allen is his toughest fight nobody knows who emmet is for a reason

[@ymmij388]

The UFC should pay royalties for trying to use and abuse the term P4P.

[@JmanHash99]

If Volk fights at 45 again it should be against Yair. Yair out-struck and even overwhelmed Holloway where he had to take him down and use grappling to win the fight. Max took a lot of damage in the yair fight, yair Is a fiercesome striker. Very very underrated

[@jabroni4200]

Volk would take yair down and punch his head through the floor

[@lakebennett1274]

Agreed or Arnold Allen if he beats Kattar. I feel Volk smashes Emmett
