Year of the Fighter - Alexander Volkanovski

Not only one of the greatest fighters ever but also one of the greatest bald men to ever live. Alexander The Great confirmed!

[@MojKanal-cz1iz]

@@terrycruise-zd5tw Volk obviously lost second time but IMO first time he won or at least it was a draw. He punched Islam's face in while Islam was hugging him for dear life on the floor. Damage should triumph over dry humping. Regardless this guy is prob 5'3 in reality but UFC claims 5'6 or whatever they bill him at and he beats fighters much taller than him just like DC did. They deserve a lot of respect for what they have done/are doing.

[@kavinraj4689]

My favourite UFC fighter. Just an inspiration all-round. Conducts himself like a gentleman, isnt one to shirk away from challenges and dares to be great. Also an inspiration to bald and short man. Hope MMA fans appreciate him to the fullest while he is around. I see a lot of people suddenly saying that they miss Kamaru but didn appreciate him while he was around. Volk is always active defending his title and the featherweight division will miss 2 legends when him and Max are retired.

[@Extremely-GR33N]

Guys like Izzy and Kamaru and Volk, they're great champions. Active. More than willing. Most fans of this sport are toxic and fickle.

[@troysmith6929]

Awesome, Volk. Such an impressive fighter and hands down a good bloke! No doubt he deserves all the success and praise

[@FatherFirst]

I read a comment on the Michael Bisping episode of Year of the Fighter. The comment began by saying the person started off hating Bisping, but the end Bisping was one of his favorite fighters ever. And that comment really explains to a T how I started off feeling about Volk to how I view him now. I really though Holloway won the second fight and the first one was extremely close. And I am a giant Max Holloway fan. So I was really disappointed. I will say I do not think this 2 fights were a robbery. Volk won them both. But it has been Volks body of work after those 2 fights that really grabbed my attention and made me have to open my eyes and realize I was witnessing greatness in its finest form and in its prime. Its safe to say that he is easily one of my favorite active fighters and he will be one of my favorite of all time. I absolutely love his attitude. The way he fights, his heart, and his determination to find the toughest challenge he can find and then throw himself into it full on. He is an outstanding fighter and its really a treat every time he steps in the cage. I love his KZbin channel as well. So to Volk, you've absolutely earned your respect. You are one of the best now and when you retire you will be one of the absolute legends of the game. Much respect from 🇺🇲
