I dont think there has ever been a featherweight on the level that volk is currently absolute legend

He’s so well drilled it’s unbelievable. That final rip and uppercut and then slammed him was just textbook. He’s got the discipline to take out makchaev.

For me, this solidifies Volk as the featherweight GOAT. Sure Aldo had a longer title run but the game has evolved so much and the competition Volk has faced is definitely on another level. Not only this but the way he has dismantled dangerous top tier opponents, often making it look easy, is truly spectacular. A legit master of his craft and a great ambassador for the sport to boot. Has lived up to his name and then some, the featherweight GOAT.

Greatest featherweight of all time, no doubt about it

"Lets get to work" How can you not respect this man?

Everyone at 145 from Volks class of fighters have been destroyed. One of the most dominant champions of all time

Yair is no joke for anybody and Volk walked straight through him. Unreal.

Volk is like if you made the perfect UFC champion in a lab. Absolute monster in the cage and nothing but class and respect outside of it.

This man is on a different level entirely. Intelligent, dedicated, he knows he is class but retains perspective and humility. This post fight presser was measured, informed and full of unrehearsed humour. Not many men like this....probably just one...I will soak up the experience and look back on it when he is the most accomplished and respected hall of fighter in the UFC. Mr Volkanovski, Thank you.

Alex Volkanovski is very honourable and surely one of the Goats of the game.

Prime Volk is incredible to witness

Def a class act. He seems so genuine and honest and not afraid to talk about is going on. When he says something you take it seriously. His interviews are worth watching.

champion both in and out of the cage. much respect.

Alex “The Great” Volkanovski! 🇦🇺

The career 180 Volk has gotten in the last 3 years is unreal. People were calling him boring and a paper champ because of that shaky second fight against Max. Volk is arguably top 5 greatest fighters of all time.

Unless Volk suddenly turned 40 years old, I don't see anyone beating him. When Volk get bored, he can literally and I mean LITERALLY just out muscle them by his sheer physical strength. Ffs this is the same guy who's going muscle to muscle with Islam. Islam is like already one the strongest 155 and Volk is competing with him, there's just no way any in 145 could out muscle him. It's not that 145 are weak, Volk is just too strong. And even without his physical strength, his speed and skill in itself is cut above the rest. He's so complete.

The ending was so good, the body shot, followed up by the uppercut and then the takedown and brutal ground and pound, just perfection.

Honestly Alex is one of the greatest fighters of all time. Respect 🫡

Volk is a damn monster!

Volk is a machine definitely would compete with any featherweight of any era

UFC is greater with this champion, old school fighters, RESPECT Volks, a true legend

No man has ever inspired me more this this man!!!! Alex the great volkanovski ✊✊✊

Volk won on his foot, on the ground, and controlled Yair like everyone expected The Great would 🔥

W.hat a champ , very smart, no oversize ego , disciplined , the real deal. Bring on Islam again

If Sterling thinks he has a chance at 145 he's sadly mistaken. This man is here to stay.

Already the featherweight GOAT and a Top 10 all time great idgaf what anyone says! What an historic run! 🇦🇺 🐐

“No one can beat me”. Imagine hearing that from anyone else and it not sounding cocky. With Volk you actually believe it.

Witnessing Volk's rise to champ and him in his prime is special. He also hasn't had any boring fights. He reversed his reputation amongst the casuals too after the Ortega fight. Classy and respectful dude. PFP #1 no question.

Can't wait to see Volk go for double champ status again

Dude is such a respectful and humble champ. Fw goat.

He made it look so easy.. Such a dominant performance 🔥

Hope Volk’s minor surgery goes well and he has a speedy recover. We really do want to see him fight Islam in Abu Dhabi! 💥

So sad to see Yair go out like that! Volk is such a great fighter, he’s literally built for this sport and has a great mindset!

phenomenal mindset

GOATanovski. Dude has that rare combination of skill, toughness and fight IQ.

Volk won me over as 1 of my favorite fighters. Dude earned respect in and out of the ring . Congrats Volk and thank you for the show and I always get my $80 worth when I buy your ppv

Currently my favorite fighter...just so darn good and humble!

The most positive comment senctions iv ever seen! Well deserved not a bad word you can say about this human being. Everyone around him must be so proud.

Dude needs to become the first triple champion in history. Conquer the UFC!

The Man is HUMBLE and gives his all and takes no credit but God given talent and hard work. I guarantee this man is a Saint in his home and community life let alone to the world and all of us fans. God bless him

I always feel like doing better in life when I listen to Volk speak. 👏🏼

Volk is paving his way to becoming one of the all-time GOAT’s, division aside. He brings it every time and is only getting better, and is as humble as they come. Great W!

Max is always my guy but damn this guy is really the best of this division.

Volk is a beast,outclassed Yair in all aspects,we need to see his 2nd fight with Islam,it will be a banger

The only way ilia can beat volks is only if volks not training in 4 month and do cooking vlog drink cola and eat burger, if not ilia gonna be in trouble

I’m just excited as hell to see his next fight already and honestly I think we all as mma fans are blessed to witness what he is doing. This man is special!!!!

The guy who always has to look up in staredowns is smashing everyone. This guy is nothing more than pure inspiration

He’s so respectful and honest. Tactical master. True real champion

As a massive Max Holloway fan, I wasn’t on the Volk train fora good minute, and I really do believe Max won at least one of their battles. That said, Volk has truly won me over as a fan, from the Ortega fight onward, and especially with how he beat Max in their third fight. What really clinched it for me though is listening to him speak. I love his mindset and that’s truly what sets him apart from everyone else. Imo he made Yair quit tonight and that was highly unexpected

Hard not to love this guy.

volk has leveled up. hes truly unbelievable. so cerebral and composed. The way he evolves from fight to fight even at his age is incredible. Doctors need to study this man. an anomaly

Volk's just on a whole new level above all the featherweight title challengers right now, Ilia's undefeated record will end soon enough when he fights Volk, and Volk definitely deserves another shot at the lightweight gold

Volk will go down as one of the best if not the very best p4p fighters of all time. He is on another level . Its always man teaching boy a lesson. Untouchable. He will be two weight champion before 2024 if Makhachev doesnt duck him........... what a relentless machine.....RESPECT OZZIE

I respect the way volk admits he felt fear and he used it for motivation. Fear is one of them things that can truly make or break you . Fear of not being able to Provide for your family can turn a boy into a man or a boy into a coward . Volks a legend no doubt

Volk is a double champ in my book

Alexander “THE GOAT OF GOATS” Volkanovski -what they’ll say at UFC 330

Thank you Volk for entertaining us all! Very happy for you 🎉🎉🎉 Hope to see you back soon

I went from disliking Volk, to absolutely loving the guy. It was tough to see him beat Max at first, but by the end of the trilogy, I knew this guy is the FW goat. He has dominated every featherweight, there is no competition left for him, except maybe Ilia. But I don’t see Ilia getting a shot already, or beating him at all. This man is the featherweight goat.

The great Alexander "The Great" Volkanovski.. He is just fucking great..

I swear volk is just an all round g, and amazing fighter! Handles himself with class and is just mad motivational imo

Glad he’s getting his props. Holloway was crowned GOAT way too soon. Volk is just next level.

BEAST

I fucking love this guy man

Volk lives around the corner from me, he brings the kids to the local playground often. Walks around and says hi to everyone there, then gets left alone to hang out with his kids. Australia's goat

Great champion even greater role model!!!

Alexander the great has done it again!

Epitome of discipline and game planning.

I respect his work ethic so much special person congrats Volk.

Volk is the absolute truth. Good on ya, champ! Wishing all the best with your surgery and recovery.

true active champ. Absolutely dominant

Volk has become my favourite fighter. What a beast that guy is

Macedonia stand up for ya boy! Ajdemo!!!!!🇲🇰🇲🇰🇲🇰🇲🇰🇲🇰🇲🇰

Absolute monster. Just gets better and better in every aspect of his martial arts.

I totally agree with Volk on commentators, media, maybe the judges making too much of a guy acknowledging a shot. It's very obvious Volk just does that because he's in a particular sort of playful flow state. He's enjoying the fight. Commentators always make too much of guys acknowledging a strike. Guaranteed, GUARANTEED every time one of the commentators will say "oh he smiled, he nodded, that's how you know it hurt him!". So stupid.

Fantastic mentality.

I just love Volks, His entire being is just so motivating

Literally had no doubts. He could dethrone Aldo at this rate.

The greatest ....best pound for pound

The king 👑

Calm calculated and an absolute weapon

Great champ

i fw volk so much i can’t even hate him for beating a mexican fighter lol. so classy and such a good fighter, no fear

What a fantastic mixed martial artist / athlete

Mentally this man is on another level.. legit only person who can beat him is himself

Volks mentality is on another level.... He is the true sigma male

He and his team are super intelligent. That’s what sets them apart from the competition.

Undeniable. I hope those doubters start putting respect on this mans name

Man you can see the work he does with Craig Jones and his other trainers. That last takedown was the best example of what constant training can do, no hesitation at all. I have so much respect for Volk, but also his trainers and camp too. Those guys are extremely good at what they do. It's no wonder Volk could wrestle with Islam when he works with guys like Craig Jones.

Volk you mean so much to people like me champ it’s all love this way

A great champion. . Quite possibly the BEST 145er Ever

Will go down as a GOAT of the sport. The definition of a DAWG

Big respect to volks mindset and passion true warrior

Goes to show playing Rugby union is a great underpinning for fighting! Hero

People are making conversations for him as far as being the goat for that division he's been doing it 3 years and has won many fights, but 10 years undefeated is quite a record that Aldo has under his belt not to mentionthe titlle defenses, when you think about it 10 years without a loss... Incredible!

The goat

Volk baits Yair so masterfully with that front leg kick. Yair answers with a punching combo that ends with a kick. Third time Volk baits him, he steps in before the kick and catches him with the right!

Absolute tank! 🐐 of featherweight for sure now

Shit, if he continues to have this frame of mind, coupled with his ability to know his body, capabilities, and his fight IQ… add into it all the respect in the world to not talk ab being better than someone getting the light shined on him during Aldo’s HOF induction. Respect ✊🏽 and skies the FKN limit till his mind and body isn’t as sharp as it is atm. Champion for a reason and Islam’s going to have his hands full with #2 bcuz he’s not gonna settle for not getting the LW belt. That’s a scary situation and if he can manifest a W, I don’t see why not. ✊🏽👊🏽🙏🏽🤙🏽

I think it throws your opponent off a bit when you do that Volk. It's your character also, naturally supportive lol... Well done Alex!! UK Love

Top 5 Goats in MMA history man, hea so fucking GOOOD!!!
