I want Korean zombie to win , if he wins he'll added to list of OG's like bisping , Charles olivera , Glover who never gave up on the becoming the champ even after adversities
If you think like that he wont win, charles, Glover, and bisping won cuz they were underdogs
He'll never be on that list bro. Smh.
@@VicioRay not hardly. They won because of grit and skill. KZ is going to get destroyed.
@nomasporfavor cejudo??🤣🤣🤣yeah you’re delusional
@nomasporfavor There was already guys waiting in line, bad luck for Cejudo. He overestimated his value, retired too early and exhausted us all with his empty callouts.
Rooting for Zombie! Volk is a fucking monster, to get out of three of Ortega’s submission attempts is almost inhuman. But I really want Zombie to shock the world.
@aloevv𖤐 says a lot about holloway then since he got bashed around by him for 5 rounds
@aloevv𖤐 Max is definitely not washed bro he just zabit who is a worthy contender and absolutely destroyed Kattar before that who went on the beat chikadze who everyone thought was the next title challenger. Not washed by any means
Harvey you said volkanovski bashed holloway for 5 rounds?
@@wutang5503 yeah he did and then they had a much closer fight, I think the first fight speaks to volkanovski's ability and preparation much more than Holloway being washed. Ortega got bashed around by both of them but he's certainly not a washed fighter.
Zombie's got nothing that can beat Volk
"zombies don't run away from anything" -KZ with the fire line.
that means he's gonna come in swinging wildy and get ko'd
@@rabbychan Better than running away! Sometimes you get lucky shots, too.
Volk is a savage. But respectfully I would love to see the zombie win.
@aloevv𖤐 LMAFOOOOO no chance gg tho
Same. It's gonna be a good card, but to see TKZ finally realize his goal would be amazing
It's a long shot and I'm here for it
Volk will mop the floor with him
@@katana_3558 mop des
I want the Zombie to win so fucking bad..
It would be the crowning achievement in a long career.
same!
Keep dreaming
@Moe lol just give me the money. You're going to lose it either way
@@Last_Chance. Let's see.
Let's go Zombie. I want to see you holding that belt.
Didn’t he get embarrassed his last fight
@@kylereynolds2597 he got a ud win against dan ige
TKZ has been in the UFC for over a decade, was out for two years due to military service in South Korea when he was in his prime and is now getting ready to fight for a title. 💪💪
He was away for 4 years
@@italianstalian331 injury
@@dnam727 huh
Fight yes, win no. He's going to get destroyed. It's unfortunate.
@@Last_Chance. I will be back
That last fight was one of the best UFC fights ever..
Ppl really think yan vs sandhagen is better 😂
correct
@@italianstalian331 lol casual, it very well could be better. i liked it more than volk ortega honestly, but both of them are very high level, exciting fights not sure why you trying to say this one smokes the other
@@italianstalian331 obviously Round 3 of Volk vs. Ortega is the best ever. But over all 5 rounds, Yan vs. Sandhagen is better because it's more competitive and is high-skilled technical fight. Ortega got beat up
This one was best last year. That was one of the best ever. I also liked chandler vs gaethje even If 3rd round were boring. Seeing yan vs sandhagen was great too but pretty one sided. Sandhagen really never were close to get yan while yan showed why he is the best striker in ufc probably. Atleast top 3. Last year ufc were great
When KZ fought Poirier he beat him everywhere. He was better at punching, kicking, takedowns, grappling and submissions. Shame he couldn't fight FW Conor, he would've put up a better fight than most FWs. Hopefully he'll get the win vs Volk even if it's unlikely.
He would've beaten Conor
That was dp fresh out of the womb lol
@@botondbakos5954 I think so too.
@@abraralam7884 True, DP has improved a lot since then but still doing that to Dustin shows how good he was before he went to military service.
@@botondbakos5954 nah conor would’ve destroyed him. Zombie got outclassed and dominated by aldo. Zombie would’ve been fucking murdered by conor
"As people know, zombies dont run away from anything" Never actually thought about that until now
He's gonna put Volk on "The Train to Busan"
One of those "brain says this, heart says that" fight. This is KZ's last shot at gold, he's gonna bring everything he's got. And I pray he gets it.
WE WANT THE ZOMBIE FROM HIS PRIME!!! LET'S GO TKZ!!!
@aloevv𖤐 porier never got twistered
@@jg1692 facts he’s a clown bro 😂
Yeah🤙🤙🇰🇷🧟🔥
I like Volkanovski, but it's hard to not want Chan Sung Jung to win.
Its actually pretty easy if you ask me
@@italianstalian331 You're weird then.
@@sukhdevr3489 just cause I'm not fan boying over an over rated fighter like all you dweebs ?
@@sukhdevr3489 lol I'm gonna laugh so hard when volk retires tkz
@@italianstalian331 Why do you hate him? Most MMA fans like him.
Would love to TKZ win the belt I like Volk but it would be nice to see TKZ with the belt cuz he's been around for so long
I very much admire Volk, he has proved why he’s the champ time and time again and tbh I don’t see anyone beating him anytime soon. But I’ve been a TKZ fan for the longest time and never have I been in this situation where I want to see someone win but not the other person lose, you know? Looking forward to this fight 👏
there's always someone..
Out of the potential contenders for the belt. TKZ and Arnold Allen are the only one's I would want to take the title off Volk. I don't wanna see him lose this but if it has to be someone I could live with it being TKZ.
I can feel that shiz bruv
Goosebumps
@@kazkaze2456 not always
volk is an absolute beast but man i want zombie to win so freaking badly
Alexander the Great VS the Korean Zombie this sounds like an ancient fight that never happened
Alexander "The Unsubmittable" Volkanovski
It's time The Korean Zombie got his belt!
Alexander Volkanovsky is one of the most unique talents and forces to come to UFC and Korean Zombie had made history unlike many others will ever be able to do. Love Alex I'll root for him over almost anyone but Korean Zombie deserves any win he gets
Volkanovsky is truly a jack of all trades. He isn't known for any specialization (like the Zombie or Ortega or Charles or Dustin or Khabib or Islam), but because he is so well rounded with truly a next level kind of physique, whatever tiny deficiencies he has in any one skill (submission for Ortega & Charles, for example), more often than not, he's able to out-strength his competitors. The two sub attempts, the first by arm and the second by legs that Ortega had around his neck, ANY OTHER fighter would have gone unconscious, it didn't matter whether they're elite wrestlers, strikers, or BJJ artists themselves. But due to Volkanovsky physical specimen, he's able to tire out Ortega's arm in the guillotine and slipped from under Ortega's scissoring leg triagle.
Korean Zombie has the power to rattle Alex, moreso than his previous opponents. I'll go with TKZ by TKO Round 1, good luck with your predictions y'all 😁
We shall see
Then again volks one of the best to defend himself when he gets hurt , he’s never really in danger unless he gets one punch koed
Are u serious tkz literally got picked tf apart by ortega badly an u think he has a chance against volk who beat ortega pretty badly hez like 3-4 his last 7 fightz alex is a joke for callin him out an the ufc is a joke to for makin this fight tkz is gettin dominated
$100 volk TKO.
then u woke up
I am rooting for Zombie in this one.🤞🏻
“I’ve always been confident, I don’t care maybe it is a bit of cockiness. I feel like I’m just a whole other breed” Damn those are some killer opening words.
Only Zombie able to make Volk sleep on the ground. I know it is a rare chance but Zombie is Zombie. Unless Volk knock him out, Zombie has a chance to sleep him out!!
No he doesn't.... if Ortega aint sleeping/tapping Volk when he's that deep Zombie sure as shit aint.
your east asian fighters are weak as sh
This promo was so chilling for this fight😮💨
Zombie has great chance. Bigger stronger and stays in there enough to counter a volk feint..great fight im excited
@@calvincalvin3132 yeah volks a stocky little bastard defs has some grown man strength up in there
Larger yes. Stronger? Unlikely.
Volka is the strongest fw, like a lightweight with short legs
If tkz wins the place will go nuts...he a all time fan favorite
I am a big Max Holloway fan, but I have to admit it...Volk is an absolute beast. Getting through that mounted guillotine against Ortega...that was heart, grit, and determination.
I still can't believe he squeaked out of that guillotine 😁
poor ortega lol, got battered by both of them
tony surviving charles arm bar was way crazier
Wish they would bring it back for a 3 peat especially with that split decision last time
@@sallgoodman2323 Ikr...that was nuts...his face was turning all sorts of colors before he broke up out of it. 😁 Good on him for that one...he really dug deep.
I got more chills from this video than I would spending a night in the snow. This promo is 🔥
I’ve been watching Zombie for so long! Literally got emotional watching this kinda.
정찬성 선수 퐈이팅! 이번 기회에 꼭 챔피언 되시길
Why in the hell is Zombie's Twister not in his highlight reel? Usually UFC editors are on point.
Let's go Zombie! 🧟♂️
I think Korean zombie would make an unexpected result like a submission. He always makes great games more than many people expects.
Zombie !!! Let go
I really like Volkanovski and pretty much always rooting for him, but I feel like being against KZ should be illegal.
KZ 가즈아!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Came around a long way, KZ! Still remember that match with a dislocated shoulder against Aldo like it was yesterday. It's all or nothing now.
Go Zombie Go! 찬성이 형 꼭 이겨줘
Win Zombie Win
The UFC does nearly everything right. Hats off, Dana. I am a UFC addict.
Volkanovski is a real tough guy, whoever fights him and wants to finish him will have to put him to sleep cuz he won't tap!
My heart wants Zombie to win. Hes the OG fan favourite for years. But as an aussie I have to root for Volk. This entire card gonna electrifying!!!
TKZ deserves to be champ once. I'd love Korea to have a champ 🙏🏽TKZ 화이팅!
I have this feeling that KZ will upset
*you mean you want TKZ to upset
This card is fucking sick
Take medicine
Get well soon
it’d be nice if tkz won
lets go KZ!!!!👊👊👊👊👊
what a Masterpiece Trailer, Vok's part the most "I thought it was over TWICE!" 😂 "the Champ is a savage". that Volk vs Ortega Fight was one of the best advertise for MMA/the UFC, I got a Heartattack after he survived Ortega's Guillotine, his Head turned in a shade of purple🙈.
Zombie with another highlight reel.
I love Volk and KZ that's a sleeper fighter can even surpass the Ortega fight.
Awesome fighters🔥🔥
Absolute hype, two great fighters
Volk has true champion mentality that primal never quit mindset pure driven focus savage.
ANOTHER CLASSIC......................
Chimaev vs Burns is the people's main event.
@aloevv𖤐 nah
Most interesting match for sure.
@aloevv𖤐 Only because I'm curious to see how the Chimaev and welterweight division shapes up in finding a new contender. That's all....peace.
Nah nah nah...not like main event...volk is 2nd pound for pound fighter so you should know this is big ppv
Who are those two bums? Are they fighting on the Early Prelims?
when ppl say "my experience will be the factor",. that usually doesnt bode well for them.
Big zombie fan.. would love to see his hand raised this time..
Not one clip from either of the Holloway fights? hmm interesting choice UFC editing team.
Ortega did a tremedous job in that fight but Volk never gave up. Respect to both!
Tremendous meh....
Except for the two submission attempts which lasted maybe 20 seconds Ortega did F all for 5 rounds. Volk dominated and destroyed him and took his soul.
@@robthevampireslayer3211 three?
@@bigfootwithsomewifi182 Half assed submissions don't count :)
@@robthevampireslayer3211 He dropped Volk 2x and won the fifth.
코리안좀비 가자!!!!
“The UFC’s most lethal weapon- the korean zombie” sounds like something u hear out of a movie lol
Damn Volk is looking sharp at the interview. This is going to be a banger!
lets go tkz !!!! im with you 화이팅!!!!
대한민국에 자존심 죤비 참피언 확실하게 갑니다 화이팅입니다
TKZ gonna shock the world
Nah
Nah
This fight is going to be fire just enjoy whoever win❤️
wow all those 3 fights in one card? thank you Dana
Please have a proper Korean-English translator this time. UFC keeps hiring Mickey Mouse for translating Korean fighters.
Dam two of my fivorites fighter i dont know who i want to win this one both are great
Let's go, Zombie!!!!!!!! 🧟♂️
최선을 다한 정찬성선수 승부에 관계없이 우리들의 진정한 영웅이십니다
TKZ 가자 !!!!
What if Zombie KOs Volkanovski? I don’t even know how I’d react to that.. lmao
This is going to be a dope 5 round fight
Probably right
I love how they literally just display his name as ZOMBIE lol, its actually pretty cool. Please Win Zombie. 👃
What is the name of song in the background
Rooting for the Zombie. From far east Asia
This card is bananas.
I really hope KZ wins and retires as a champion.
I respect Volk a lot, because he shows respect for Zombie, and I suppose there's a part of me that wants to see the underdog get the win, but having said that, I still think that Volk deserves it more, because he is the better fighter and I think he will prove it again.
I hope it’s like Jan vs glover
Song fire anyone know the name of the track
The optics point to Volk but I think he's underestimating the Zombie. I wouldn't be totally shocked if TKZ pulls off the upset.
KZ has been waiting for long long time for this since i defeated against Jose Aldo. Hopefully He get a belt at this time. 🙏
What's the track playing in the first minute please?
How the hell do you miss the "i want volkanovski" from zombie in the fight promo?
what a great card
Eventhough Ortega beat KZ I think KZ can give Volk a better fight if there is such a thing. We'll see.
The champ is truly a savage, man.
I like both but I would like to see zombie win , he's a workhorse, he deserves to win.
Kind of hyped for the Volk fight, but that Yan Sterling rematch is whats really happening on this card. Great card and excited to see what happens.
-5'8"
COME ON ZOMBIE!!!! JUST ONE MORE BABY!
Zombie fan, but win or lose, I bet it's a F.O.Y. candidate
Volk low-key might be goated. That fight against Ortega proved a lot, mostly the will to never lose and always 1 up your opponent.
The military took TKZ best years
Or...TKZ gave his best years to his country. See what I did there? :)
I'm buying it right now ☺️❤️
Lets gooo Volka
Let's go Zombie 🇰🇷
We are ready
LETS GOO TKZ EVEN THOUGH I AINT CONFIDENT LETS GOOOOO TKZ!!!
