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.

@@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.
