"are you good? like is everything good in your life?" Such a simple question from robbie but it goes a long way. Robbie will always be one of my favs
That moment between Diaz and Lawler after the fight will always be one of my favorites. Both are legends 👏
Great fights all night, seeing nick and Robbie interact was championship class of sportsmanship; crazy how they once fought a heated war to maybe being friends!That kind of help and honesty is rare these days!
Yeah well they’re cut from the same cloth, both veterans of the sport who come to fight every single time. And also when you share the cage with each other, especially twice there has to be some mutual respect at the end. It’s 1-1 now
Brian ortega going from locking in one of the tightest subs he could to having his head bounce off the canvas from gnp is why I love the chaos of mma.
Volk and Ortega was such a technical masterpiece
Volk gave Ortega a seminar on striking
“Everything I did she just 🤷🏻♀️ she fucked me up.” She sure did Lauren, she sure did 🤣🤣🤣
💀
Yeah Lauren Murphy was wildly outclassed, but kudos to her for trying.
@@Drew791 naw absolutely
Class act there by Lawler!
Robbie is fucking awesome man, you can see his genuine concern for nicks well being
Robbie Lawler, what a Legend!!! His second fight against Rory and his fight against Condit, never forget! Futur UFC HOF.
Whenever I’m introducing someone to MMA or if someone asks me what the greatest fight of all time was, my answer is always the same. Lawler vs McDonald 2 was the most primal shit ive ever seen, it had almost a death match feel to it. Not to mention at the end Robbie’s lip was hanging off his face and Rory’s nose was literally inside his face.

@@yertz9053 unpopular opinion but the Lawler vs condit fight was the better of the 2
@@sumboy6183 Very good opinion. I think that one flies under the radar because people were upset over the decision. I still think Carlos won that.
Condit won that tho. Everybody knows that except the fucken judges.
Bullet walking down Murphy with a barrage of punches to the face is hilarious
It was such a clean barrage, almost as if she pressed her special ability button
@@richmitch2892 Murphy is just doodoo
I’m really going to miss 🪄 Magic 🪄 Marlon Moraes. He was and is still one of my favorites to ever step foot in the octagon.
im convinced that Volk's head shape doesn't allow for chokes to fully set in
Man does have an exceptionally large chin, large shoulders and almost no neck.
Lmao fr
Marlon Moraes vs Merab Dvalishvili is one of the greatest comeback fights ever.
It’s so strange that volk is fighting again so soon after the zombie fight
Yeah, not enough time for his hands to recover lol
@@BasedPeanutButterEnjoyer well he was a replacement for max so he really wants to get back in lol
He feels the pressure because he knows that he lost the second fight with Max.
@@mikestrappelli8098 that’s a ridiculous thing to say. If you know the scoring rules the fight went to volk. He lost the first two and won the last three. A draw wouldn’t have been a bad decision but anyone who says it was a robbery isn’t a fan of mma, they’re a fan of max
@@robbiejohnston2023 I never said it was a robbery at all.
Uu pure respect! Some fighters are so great human beings,!
Holloway and Covington are in a very similar situation. I don’t see how Holloway beats Volk. But as a Holloway fan, I really hope he does!
Same way he beat him the second fight 😂
Never thought of that . I see what you’re saying I’m the same for Colby
But max won the second fight
@@beaualIoevv What a moronic comment. Casual.
Ur not a holloway fan if ur saying that lol
I love this refree, he gave both of them their chance. That refree is assassin, some refree would have stop the first early
theres just an unbelievably high gap in competition from valentina and the rest of the division. one of the greatest female mma fighters of our time
Volko is the Goat...no debate,he's got it hands down.
I think all the OG strikeforce fans had a smile on our faces when Lawler and Diaz faced off again 💯💥 two legends and impressive for nick to do as well as he did after that long lay off
lawlers are you ok hits me every time... damn..
Valentina 😍😍amazing finishing move
Volk is just too good
Volkanoski,good for you!
Ortega must find a true Wrestling teacher like Kabib...
How has it already been a year, I swear if u were to ask me it feels like 5 months ago
@@beaualIoevv U cared enough to comment
It was in September, a little later than usual
@@gabagool20 lmao he’s a bum, been obsessed with me since 2020
7:01 oooooman 😂 the Valentina effect
Crazy card man!
What a hell of a flashback. That is man it’s got all my neighbors staring at me again lmfao 🤣
Friggin brutal
6:02 just turned into a BoxingBall😂😂
Goats
Banger fight
The way DC says "I thought it was over twice!".
Legendary night for Alex
Robbie is the man just a great person, you can tell Nick did not want to fight his heart was not in it at all and you could clearly see he was so out of shape and slow unfortunately 😔.
Fr still had good hands for being so out of shape and old in my opinion Lawler just came more prepared probably a chip on his shoulder from the first fight. Diaz just came for the $$
I remember watching volk vs ortega and i stopped breathing 🤣🤣 haven't a clue how he got out of those 2 submissions
4:52 is so awesome man
Lawler is such a class act.
One of my all time favorite UFC title fights, man when Ortega locked in the guillotine I thought Volk was done for, Volk proved why is one of the goats and T City proved he has the heart of a warrior 👏👏👏👏
Wow ❤️
The most underrated champ. Ufc 276 Alexander Volkanovski defeats Max Holloway by unanimous decision 48 47 49 46
Never won 2nd match tbh
@@aplias20 🧢🧢
@@aplias20 stay mad. Volk 3,4, and 5
Yes, he is the Goat
Man, Moraes got unlucky with the ref. When you see how Merab got rocked twice, then the way he sat Merab down against the fence, and how Merab initially wasn't defending shots, I feel other refs may have jumped in. Then when he's getting the shit kicked out of him by Merab and seems to want out by not defending, the ref also doesn't give it to him, and he has to go through another round of getting his ass kicked.
That Robbie vs Nick hits different.... dam
The difference between Ortega and Islam: Dagestanis never let go.
This card was badass ! So glad I payed for it . I wish Ortega got that belt and wish Diaz won
that was a great fight.Not the biggest fan of Volk but he sure comes to fight
Shevchenko is a straight tekken character, got a full 10 hit combo
I see Volkanovski beating Holloway again by a hard-fought razor-close controversial split decision, but I won't be surprised at all if Volk dominates Max like in the first fight
Volk v Ortega…the greatest rd 3 in the history of mma
Are you good in life!
Brasil🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Laurel Murphy had no business being in there with Shevchenko she was totally outclassed..
This fight was insane 🔥🔥🔥
Volkanovski has shatter
VOLK IS THE GOAT AT 145
this was a jon jones vs vitor belfort moment. after volk almost got finished, he didnt panic. his heart and determination pushed him through
Jones the steroids fraud*
@@bomalpatriote7265 i dont know how to take this coming from a chael sonnen sycophant
Heart, determination and the best steroids on the market lol. I love Volk
next fight volkanovski vs oliveira for lightweight bout✌
Nick Diaz parece que está mais velho, mais lento. O QUE ACONTECEU COM NICK DIAZ?
Nick Diaz fight was as entertaining as it was disappointing. IDK how that's even possible, but omfg I wanna see him fight again so bad!
Diaz was in some slowmotion or what?
Nick saying he would beat usman is comical
volkanovski vs ortega was a war
Med rida mauritania
“He’s fought out of a lot of tough situations which has mad him a star” *proceeds to fight out of another tough situation* 😂7:55
He was talking about Ortega
Wow dhat good fight ✅✔️
volkanovski harus naik kelas lawan olivera
Thats funny Ortega plays the wannabe mexican gangster role , I'm old enough to remember when he played surfer beach bum
@@beaualIoevv You're malding at everyone's comments. Someone needs their choccy milk.
@@Tony-hn8qy he does it all the time , without this he has nothing 😂
@@Tony-hn8qy dude is a Volk and Aldo hater. He's just salty his boy Max Holloway is 0-2 against Volk. He's so mad he thinks Max beat Volk the first time lmao dude is a comedian
@@beaualIoevv lmao na Volk drinks yours
@@thenedsmmachannel8970 true, the kid is pathetic 😅
Nick's boxing is still there but he got no chance vs Usman on anyday
i legit was waiting on marlon to win just now til i saw who it was then remembered this tragic shit.
Sad to see Nick Diaz ended like that
Ortega🤛🤛👊👊
I counted 78 concussions
they’re just built different at city kick boxing
💉 your dam right they are 😂
I was so happy to see Nick back in there, but man he was not throwing any power behind those punches. It was like he was just touching his little nephew with some horseplay.
I think Robby might have been offering Nate some of his purse. Or something. Idk
I'm concerned that Tcity will end up like Ryan Bader in the UFC he clearly is elite he's always a title challenge but he can't beat the champ. In any other promotion he would hold the title for several defenses
Ortega couldn't beat AJ McKee (he was robbed, he is the champion), McKee is phenomenal athlete, young and gonna evolve as a fighter. His futur is in the UFC.
@@bomalpatriote7265 🧢
@@bomalpatriote7265 lol ortega would murder mckee,
@@bomalpatriote7265 Rofl Ortega subbed McKee's ass years ago. McKee wants to run it back with him lol but I think that was before they both went pro.
tcity aint beating pitbull or mckee for that matter.
Volk dusted Max 5 rounds to NOTHING In the first fight. I love when Max fans try to argue like he’s better than Volk like I’m just going to allow that type of slander to happen. NOT A SINGLE ROUND did max win the first time . Also Volk clearly edged the rematch! Bout to be 3-0 over max
The rematch was an incredibly close fight, the vast majority would say max won so for u to say max fans hype him, up ur doing the exact same thing for volkanovski
- There is no context in which "clearly edged" makes any sense! - I was looking at your mom for 5 hours straight. I clearly edged.
@@unitysnip3zz794 Exactly lol This is how hypocrites operate
@@unitysnip3zz794 sadly hypocrisy is a common trait among most casual MMA fans 🤦♂️lol
@@unitysnip3zz794 What rds did he win? Pretty clear 3,4,5 for volk despite the absolute garbage commentary suggesting otherwise. Volk was even winning rds 1,2 before the flash knockdowns.
What is International Fight Week?
It's a week of fights that are international
@@thenedsmmachannel8970 lmao
a ufc week where there is supposed to be a stacked card and some cool sh*t during the week. Overall the ufc hypes it up and its just another regular ppv card
Lets talk Ortega gets smashed by champ max doesn't fight for a while comes back wins 1 fight and next fight is another title shot where he gets smashed let's look at Justin fights for belt gets smashed by khabib doesn't fight for a while beats a guy with 1 win in ufc at the time and then he gets another title shot only to get smashed again seems like some of these guys needs to fight their way back and popular their way back
And then you look at Robert Whittaker. Lost his belt to izzy and could’ve got an immediate rematch but beat Till, Cannonier, and Gastelum to earn earn another shot. Although he lost a very close fight to izzy that’s how u earn a title shot.
@@casualmma9990 yes that's how you fight your way back and you could see the improvements he had made altho he lost....
Fight volko figh please by Israel adenzaya hhhhhh
Valentina shevchenko is in a whole different class than Lauren Murphy.
She's on a whole different class than her entire division, she beats the shit out of these girls like they owe her money.
I still dont get it..how can you escape a mounted gilly from ortega lmao
@@beaualIoevv lmao stay mad
How you can scape a mounted gilly lmao
Nick punches like my little sister
After watching this fight I am 100% sure that volk hasn't any chance against Islam
sucks that Nick quit
I bet Volkanoski won't stand long against Islam. Ortega have so many times to choke him. But Ortega didn't have evwn the basic technique to choke.. unfortunately
I was on a plane about to take off when Ortega had Volk in that Guillotine and couldn’t help shout on the flight hahaha
Islam Is Going To Smash Volkanovski💥💥 THE EAGLE 🦅🦅
volk able to get out of those 2 bus bcoz of his baldy head lol
Great bout. Ortega is shot, in this fight. The younger Volkanovski had too much stamina for the American veteran.
you know ortega is younger right?
damn nick diaz look like he just been drinking
1 🥇
🇦🇺 🇦🇺
Looked like Brian practically let Volk out of that triangle. Had he just stayed on his back and hooked his leg maybe then Volk probably wouldn't have gotten out and would have went unconscious.
Exhaustion bro. Besides Volk is like a bull. It ain’t easy son
@@vex6543 even a Bull will fall to a tranquilizer. That's what Jiujitsu is based on. The principle of beating stronger opponents. Looked like moving to mount was the mistake.
@@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu it’s easy for u to say that ur not the one being punched in the face for 20 mins
@@unitysnip3zz794 who knows? Maybe he was exhausted and probably wouldn't have been able to hold the triangle either way.
@@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu ye so why are u saying Brian “let him out”
lmao and nick diaz thinks he can take usman. and big john mcharthy thinks nick can spark usman on the feet. thats why works for bellator
Диаз🤭🤭🤪
The only thing that explains volk not going out is his brain must not require blood.
Volk is easily my least favorite champ. Holloway needs that belt back if the judges can score correctly. what a joke
🇦🇺 🪃 VOLK
