love how the crowd booed the shit out of randy brown and then cheered him when he flipped them off lmao
Shows they can take a joke too hahaha
@gbruinhard Aussies naturally understand comedy, they don't take anything to heart
That was wholesome 😭
Aussie crowds less ruthless than Brazilians but just as hype
Ya man they can take a joke 😂
This was actually a lot more entertaining than I was expecting, and that crowd was absolutely electric.
Ozzies are great
@@gideonMorrison it’s spelled ozzies? I’ve always thought it was spelled Ausies
Anyone know why they randomly booed around 6:57?
Islam will KO Volkov with a headkick, POUND FOR POUND, HEADSHOT DEAD! Yair vs Emmett will end in a NC, Draw or Injury TKO win for somebody Prime Tony Ferguson would destroy Prime Charles Oliveira (via submission)
🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 Rule the world
I love how the crowd supported Yair and made sure he got his chance to answer the question, this crowd is amazing!
Nice change of pace after brazils crowd.
@@xeta180 absolutely
australia is always a W
@@facusanx Ozi L always booing as soon islam wants to speak, cringe dogs will regret it
@@younis9324 keep crying
No unecessary trash talk, just calm answers to the questions bieng asked and facing off with confidence. May the best man win.
The edit and you still spell it bieing 🤣 Dosent matter tho. Great fight and fighters
@@Thawhid randy looks a lot like the guy in GTA thats make him a badass
Nah I wished someone knew a lot about Ah-Lee Ahb Doo Lah Zis
Both fighters look confident as hell,no matter who wins both of them are great ambassadors of this sport.

100%, Prime Tony Ferguson would destroy Prime Oliveira too
@@fanofmma10025-4 Tony was prime Tony. That’s who Oliveira beat. What are you talking about.
Islam and volkanovski have such a huge respect to each other even if they are trying to mock each other somehow
If people actually looked up Islams interviews with DC and videos in the gym with them, Islam alwayssss cracking jokes to everyone. Islam has the Same energy always
@@Leg3ndKilla687 islams personality way better than khabib
Cause they know what each brings to the table... BOTH BEST EVER TO DO IT .. DAMNE CANNT BELEIVE WE GOT TO SEE THIS FIGHT .. MIND BLOWING
@@HasanAli-hm7jf i prefer khabib he is more fun, also I think because the English level of khabib is better we know him better because he can express his thoughts way better than islam
Man do i agree
cant stop smiling at Makhachev and Volk face off, so funny, heartwarming and friendly, my heart is pumped and calm at the same time, great champs, great men...
and people still think that Jon "junkie" Jons is the real P4P😔 well i hope their children become like Jons ond day
You can already tell from this press conference that the crowd are gonna be crazy on fight night 🙌
Islam will KO Volkov with a headkick, POUND FOR POUND, HEADSHOT DEAD! Yair vs Emmett will end in a NC, Draw or Injury TKO win for somebody Prime Tony Ferguson would destroy Prime Charles Oliveira (via submission)
Prime Tony El Cucuy vs Prime Do Bronxs Oliveira, who wins?
Fans really looked energetic. Love that
@@fanofmma100 Micheal bisping
@@fanofmma100 chael sonnen solos both
Absolutely love the fact that the vibe between all these men is so extremely competitive and yet this is one of the most wholesome and entertaining press conferences I’ve seen for quite a while.
1000%! No cringe trash talk but also not just overly nice like a Wonderboy. Perfect medium of gentleman and pure competitiveness!! Can’t wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mur mur mur mur mur wholesome dork
The crowd was insane, that's Aussies for ya they have been waiting a long time for another event. This is gonna be a banger, can't wait.

much better than the brazeew crowd
Kinda bummed for them that they have to have their card in the morning so it can air at 9pm/10pm here. UFC should be more accommodating more often. NOT ALL THE TIME, JUST MORE OFTEN.
@@SirMoeThe2nd the fight isnt in the morning aystralia its in in the morning for america
Makhachev always wearing his dark cap with his eyes under the shadow looking like a final boss you’ll see standing in the dark room from a video game
damn, fam is intimidated by a baseball hat lmao.
@@MichaelStix I think it’s more about who’s wearing the hat lol
@@MichaelStix 😂😂
@@MichaelStix 😂😂
😂
Islam is the most relaxed chill fighter i think iv ever seen
Flegmatic temperament
@@TheKacperosss What does that mean?
Just stroking his beard looking bored
Khabib would be the same way. Always just cracking jokes and would try so hard not to laugh at the face offs. Only press conference where his emotions ran high was the McGregor one.
yeah hes a robot, 0 personality
Those guys cracking jokes at the face off. Love it.
Islam is DUCKING THE NOTORIOUS MCGREGOR, PAPER CHAMP IN MY BOOKS

"I am the different" - Islam Makhachev's iconic English
I haven't seen genuine confidence from an underdog like Volk. A solid man in all aspects.
True...but everyone gets humbled sooner or later...and his time to be humbled seems to be this weekend. Islam is too good for him.
What do you expect him to say? "Er look guys, I got 10% chance of winning this fight, don't bother coming to RAC arena as you will leave disappointed." He has set up a narrative that if he loses, Aussies will still love him.
ⁿᵃᵃᵃʰ ʰᵉ ᵛᵉʳʸ ⁿᵉʳᵛᵒᵘˢᵉ ...ˡᵒᵒᵏ ʰⁱˢ ᵇᵒᵈʸ ˡᵃⁿᵍᵘᵃᵍᵉ
@@memich1 seems you need humbled too, anything can happen
@@memich1 what do you mean humble when it was khabib that challenged him When he’s the underdog
If Volk wins this fight, he will be the most impressive double champ there has been. It's not even close.
Beating Islam Makhachev > beating Eddie Bumarez
Dc beating stipe is close tho
Islam win
Yeah agreed 👍
@@basedredpilledchad1617 but he lost to him to right
That Aussie crowd tho!!😳🇦🇺
We own America, Brazil and UK
Im lookin for a... num num shes lookin for a num num numm
Brazil crowd should take notes.
@@akiratrolliyama4062 and European ones. Didn't see any bananas thrown and racial slurs being shouted.
Forreal man it’s gonna be ELECTRIC fight night.
Press conference crowd is better than most ppv crowds
Aussies love a good yarn, crowd is gonna be crazy for the fight
Well are they better when they boo every time Randy and Islam speak? like wtf let them speak ik ur cringe degenerate Ozi fans but let them answer the questions
@@younis9324 Bro stop hugging your pillow, they answered the questions how they wanted while playing to the crowd. They cheered for Randy when he flipped them off lmao. Aussies are chill, we can take what we give, it's a laidback culture
@Shin Koh idk if we watched the same interview but as soon as they began to speak the booeing started, once or twice... check ur ears Ozi fans are cringe and ur one of them
Islam so chill always 😂😂
This is what rivalry in sports should look like!
Thats not what sells..... sad but that's the reality.
@@eldonfernandes8069 not really tho… look at how much hype this fight has with no trash talk whatsoever…
Islam is always so lethally chill. Future legend. Let's go! Goosebumps for this fight!
Can't be a legend if he's bigger than Colby but fights at 155 because barely any of the top guys are wrestlers. Makes him look weak.
@@truthoverlies6434Most fighters can walk around, naturally, one weight-class higher. Some choose not to year-round (Colby). Even Volkanovski was heavy at one point - but he chose the FW division for whatever reason. I understand your point but it’s a petty remark/argument, and will always be inconclusive.
@@truthoverlies6434 What has Colby achieved at 170 other than losing twice to Usman? Most overrated figgter in ufc history and stalling the division with inactivity
@@truthoverlies6434 If that's the best argument you can bring, it's pretty weak. The fact is, he dominates his division. Maybe one day he will go up a division and become double/triple champ. Who knows.
Islam is going to take the midget down and submit him. Going to be a easy fight
This is the proof that fighters and the pre-flight press conference could be respectful, could face off without obscenity and harsh trash talk, entertain the crowd, all with a high level rivalry and desire to win
Hey good job!
“Like Greg Jones cannot control him on the ground by like this is different” 🤣🤣🤣💪🏼
When the crowd gets involved it makes the presser a lot more exciting, this was moderately respectful but the subtle jabs here and there are always fun 😉
Only Australia fans boo and then cheer and laugh when they get flipped off. They dish it and take it so well. Great fans and great energy. Hilarious.
Aussie crowd is amazing. Loved how Randy Brown controlls the crowd
Ozi fans are cringe af, boo as soon as fighters want to speak, like wtf is wrong with you? Hope they bet the house on Volk btw
How, they're like Brazil fans who boo constantly. Classless but they do descend from convicts so it's not their fault.
@@younis9324 best in the world mate
@@younis9324 They booed and then they got flipped off and then laughed in good fun, take a joke man.
@VIP Only Wow nice joke very funny Ozi humor
Couldn't think of a more deserving double champ. And to do it against one of the best LW champs we've seen, a chance to make history for Australia. Let's go Volk!
too bad islam will eat hi m
Q
Why is he one of the best LW champs we’ve ever seen? He’s not even defended the title wtf are you talking about?
@@stevethedweeb3846 perfectly said bet dude doesn’t respond
He has 0 defenses, how's he one of the best?
I just left the press conference the vibe is electric - these guys have to come BANG! BRING ON SUNDAY!!! 🇦🇺
Apart from main event..that is one sided..
@@danapink361 stop trying to make ppl argue, it’s gonna be a banger of a fight no matter what happens
Australia has no wrestling power
@@danapink361 so just bcuz hes australian he cant wrestle??
Watching Yair kick is something. The guy throws kicks like his shins are Made of steel and he feels nothing 😂
5:12 Yair has earned massive respect he’s such a nice and humble guy
Who is he? Is he good?
@@seydoukone9078 he is very good. an incredible striker who is building a good resume. Win or lose, he's a serious challenge for any of his opponents.
For real it's small things like that that make you like another person more.
You clearly haven’t seen his behavior after the Stephens fight
@@ProfessorUFC 👁🤡👁
Aussie crowd>Brazil crowd
Best Press Conference ever. Can they all be in Australia? 😂
That crowd is insane
Anik determined with the handshake at the beginning 😂😂👍
Islam said key things. He’s not going to walk straight into Volk or follow him like zombie and max where they just rinse and repeat and allow Volk to tee off however he wants. that cold confidence with the smile with Islam is like he knows something his opponents will find out soon.
islam is ducking the real challenge, theres a reason why hes fighting Bumanovski, and not the NOTORIOUS MCGREGOR
@@fanofmma100 get a job
@@fanofmma100 I think Islam can fight both conor n volk same night. Not at the same time ofc
@@fanofmma100 volk more of a challenge then mcchicken
@@fanofmma100 what are you smoking?
Lol Randy Brown flipping off the crowd was badass even the crowd liked that 😂
Great energy between champs 😁 I love it!
I love this! My life is a living hell but these guys give me inspiration to keep pushing for a miracle.
Stay strong mate. Keep smashing it and moving forward! 1% better everyday baby ❤
Best of luck to you mate. Keep grinding.
Stay up g 💯💜
You got it mate. We’re all fighters
My man! Keep your chin up! Cheers!!
What a crowd, this live event will be absolutely nuts
Honestly Islam and Volkanoski are low key funny guys 😂
go to sleep dad!
AUSSIE CROWDS ARE DIFFERENT MAN, WE LOVE IT
10:15 I love this! Two of the most solid dudes on the planet right hee, i can appreciate the love cheers brotherins
Both of them are supremely confident
If you want to earn respect from the Perth crowd... give them the finger, haha.
Not even 5 minutes in and this press conference already feels like gold lol
wow amazing crowd is so respectful and knows when to cheer and be quiet, i love it
Brazilians crowd biggest nightmare, a respectful Australian crowd…
What an example for Brazil. This is how a sport crowd should be. Super you awesome Aussies love from Amsterdam
The Brazilian crowds take their cues from the European ones, mate. After years of watching bananas being thrown and racial slurs being shouted at South American and African players. That's Football crowd mindset. It sucks, but I would rather people booing me and throwing popcorn than taking jabs at my very existence.
well lets see how they handle it if jack and volk both lose. then we will know if theyre better than brazil
@@bigploppa154 and if one of the fighters calls them dogs.
@@jayn6943 thats a hard reach. moreno is a respectful man, perros was used in an endearing way towards mexicans in that sentence, not in an insulting way towards brazilians.
How is it an example for Brazil, they boo whenever the other guy speaks. Brazil does that all the time.
I grew up playing contact sports and nothing makes me prouder than to see these incredibly trained and honed Athletes being pure Sportsmen in their conduct before combat. Top notch Men.
I love aussies lmfao 😂😂😂 cheering for getting flipped off I love it lmfao
Islam Makhachev number one 100 % victory will be with Islam for sure, it is known and so Volkonovsky is also a very good wrestler, I am also a boleshik to Him
Islam always looks high asf😂💀💀💀
His personality
Anyone else hype to see Anik on these way more. Hes made for this type of stuff and is so good at it
26:45 most important part of the conference
volk has answered that question before, i enjoyed the unsual/fun face off more
@@rostikskobkariov5136 its not about question its the guy in the background lmao 😂
How do you even see those stuff. I can hardly focus on what's happening in the foreground. You have eagle eyes
bruh😂😂would never have seen that
Anyone else weirded out by the lack of selling this fights had? It's been almost negligent in terms of being sold by the Ufc. I've seen more slap fight ads than this :/
doesnt need hype this is an insane once in a lifetime card.
i feel it’s just cause they know the card sucks other then the main event, and like that fella said ^ it’s in australia so it sold out fast
@@therooffairy5979 just because people who already follow mma know the importance of the fight, doesn't mean it shouldn't be marketed to catch as many eyes as possible. Not everyone is already an mma fan/regular viewer.
Card was already sold out
All you saying it sold out in Australia. That's not saying much, Volk is fighting. Also not the point. We are talking people worldwide, not people who go to the show.
Islam Makhachev looks like a mixture of Nate Diaz (the way he talk) and Khabib Nurmagomedov (the way he fights) lmao
Being there Live, the crowd was WILD 😆
you mean packed full of bogans?
@@fxyrozqadir9370 yes 🤣
26:45 that guy in the back😂😂
The most love shared at a press conference 😂❤
IV waited the entire time for this fight omg it's going to be good !!!! About time UFC promotes this fight
31:35 the most important part, jst two champs having fun.
The crowd, calibre of fights, respect, the energy of the crowd, beautiful build up in Perth Australia. Loving UFC284 :).
Damn this fans are something else, really like the australian vibe
This is once in a life time type of fight! The levels and accomplishments of the fighters, P4P greatness just a few days away!
Aussie crowd are lit af✴️. Love both of fighters, doesn't matter no win. Pure Legacy Fight !
there not lit, just on meth. Its perth
I love when the fighters are waiting for the face off, just standing awkwardly beside one another
The crowd actually loved Randy Brown giving them the finger hahaha. The aussies are a great crowd.
Islam apologising to the Australian crowd is funny af 😂😂😂
"I'm gonna put that nose on the other side of his face" lmao
Man............ this is how should be the press Conference.... No trash talk..... Perfect sportsman spirit.
Stop kiddin buddy
You are right, there was a lot of banter, but no one was interrupting each other like other stupid press conferences with reporters asking stupid questions, the reporters here were well behaved.
@Depressed introvert lol then pisslam will say ufc isn't promoting this fight when he is unmarketable.
@Depressed introvert Do you really need unnecessary trash talk to get excited for a fight?
@@CFH50 No.....Not at all....
This was great. 6 consummate professionals singing praises and the battles of war
Alex looks big. This gonna be banger . Both guys are are strong . The best one wins
Respect both of these guys but very much rooting for Volk. Amazing role model for belief in challenging (bettering) yourself.
Tbh Islam challange him.. Volk didnt eben Think about this until khabib and Islam call him out After the Charles fight.
The crowd will go nuts every time Volk gets close to connecting. I can't help wondering if it will help or hinder him, he has almost always been less favoured fighter when it comes to crowd opinion. Hope the fight is as good as the build up.
Respect for the Crowd 🤝🏻💯
Fully respect Volk and Islam , great fight for mma fans
Yair is the man, he greet enyone, what a example of humble dude
Your making sure he got to greet everyone is so wholesome
If there ever was a pure fighters fighter it has to be volkanovski. He's a absolute beast and am so happy he's where he is from when I first watched him debut. I don't think he will win without fully taking advantage of his stand up. But the size advantage is the biggest thing against volkov. But if he was to win no words but Greatest FW of all time to say the least. I love this sport
23:17 the crowd going nutts
The composure of Islam is truly unreal, he’s ice cold. I love Volkanovski but I seriously can’t see him beating Islam, regardless it’s going to be an all out War!
"The crowd can't fight for you" is the most tired line in combat sports 😒
The “living in the shadow of khabib” question 🤣 pure gold
Makes me wanna visit Australia. They seem like a fun crowd!
One of the most wholesome press conferences, actually. Also, beating a dominant fighter like Islam to get champ champ status would be REAL champ champ status. Like DC beating Miocic was the REAL champ champ status.
Same if volk gets the 155 belt, that's a real champ champ.
This just might be the most classy press conference ever. Respect to all these gentlemen! NOW DELIVER A BANGER!
The fact the biggest and probably the most historic fight ever is happening in my home town is such a cool feeling. respect to all fighters, but man I hope the Great can silence the doubters once again.
Props to Yair 🇲🇽 🐆 with the class and humbleness to enter and shake EVERYONES hand that’s a real and true thing I’ve seen in a while VAMMMOS YAIR 🇲🇽X🇦🇺🦘and AUZZIE VOLKS OUUU 🔥 GREAT CARD AND SATURDAY COMING UP 💥
Every Mexican has a habit of making sure to salute everyone in the room they enter.
Aussia crowd is awesome
That is one spectacular beard on Emmett!
John anik is a great dude to present these conferences. Dudes just on it man!
This card needs more hype!
12:15 this was hilarious from Randy and the croud
I have so much respect for these two!!
During the face-offs the crowd can't decide whether to boo or cheer. They trying to do both simultaneously. " Boo but also YEAH, but also BOO, but YEAH" lmao
i still can’t get over how good yair english got wtf
Australia got a great fan base
The fighters and the crowd really showing that Aussie spirit 💪
5 min of PRE-fight presser is more exiting then any other sports main event...
