#UFC #UFC284
Hype for this event has been super slow. Been so excited for this event for so long
Islam gonna go for that petroff defence? 😂
No shit, both snooze personalities
Not really lol
Oh hi Levy didn't expect to see you here. Nice ! I hope Islam gonna do some French Attack and Volk gonna respond with Indian defence. Sry idk if those are right terms or right spelling. I love how your commentary on chess even without have proper knowledge for chess. Sometimes idk wth is going on, what I know he sacrifice the RROOOOKKKKK.
Just train me how to chess gambit
UFC needed to push this more. Both champs deserve respect.
Dana is more interested in slap Jesus now
His busy with his son coming back to UFC
They'll push Chandler v McGregor like it's a title fight even if it's just for TUF but here we're talking No1 vs No2.. P4P.... the crazy thing is I feel like Islam and Volk would both easily smoke Conor and Mike if they had to fight them but UFC has this WWE complex where we're just interested in the dude with the biggest and widest mouth.. 🙄🙄🙄 Chandler will smoke McGregor IMO when that fight happens cause as much as he'd wanna bang his best chance to win unless he lands a well timed dipping overhand right is to take McGregor down and whip his a$$ like Khabib did.. expect McGregor to have to wrestle in this fight.. doubt Chandler will strictly bang with McGregor.. he's too elusive when he's got his head on straight and shows his real ability.
They have zero personality. Y’all need to realize this sport has changed. It’s all about personality now and story lines. Pretty simple. UFC should take some notes from WWE.
@@mrstifler8987 They don't have zero personality. It's clear both guys are very good humble men. Just because they're being calm and not talking crazy sht doesn't mean they have no personality. They do have one it's just that some fools can't appreciate a calm, humble, yet confident personality. This might be the most interesting fight of the year, it's literally p4p number 1 vs p4p number 2. It can't get better than that really and those who are sleeping on this fight are gonna miss out big time.
Major respect to fighters like Volk who take on big challenges like this for the fans.
Hasn't been mac doing this for years
@@raxyznkJ yeah and he was on top of the world but now he’s just partying

@@marcocambray7725 to yo mamas house
True that, on a different note, I always knew Emmett was a savage but kinda packed personality or charisma. Seeing him with hair now, I might actually be becoming a fan
@@Kmtwolf You might be gay!~
No shit
Josh emmet NEEDED that beard 🤣
100%
Looks weird af seeing him with one🤣
Its a game of psychology, the beard is more intimidating, warrior style, old viking style, its his mindset boost.
+ a thick beard can also help with absorbing some of the strike power
@@sds3558 no it doesn’t 😂😂😂 Imagine actually believing that
Man Islam on the ground is beyond scary, that choke on his jui jitsu partner was quicker than Ortega's choke hold on Volk, that is dangerous if he's put in that position. I hope we fight fans get an amazing fight no matter the outcome regardless of Dumb Dana not knowing the names of his fighters or promoting this card like he should. Hope that Slap league is worth dropping the ball on promoting this PPV.
fax, those scrambles were very impressive. Think Islam dominate the wrestling and sub him.
@Matthew Smith the guy he submitted is the pfl feather weight champion and Sambo champion who is 5 foot 6
@@omarkandil7221 yeah but he’s not volk Islam is my favrouite to win but it’s gonna be a close fight not dominating I’d prefer volk to win tho
Gonna really push volk to legendary status when he wins
@@drbray if he wins I have volk top 5 all time.That being said if Islam dominates he deserves a lot of credit because volk isn’t easy fight

Lol volk will beat islam volk fought at middle weight years back against monsters
@@callummills6524 even if Volk loses I’m sure he will try again later down the line that’s just how he is. Doesn’t give up
@@lacosa24xtrue those monsters would have their way with Islam
Never realised how chill Josh is and how powerful he is
Volk is the man! He cleaned out his division now he's taking a massive risk,salute to him!! 💪🏽
What’s the risk? There’s only upside. If he loses well, that was expected because he’s going up in weight. He doesn’t even lose his belt. If he wins, immediately, he’s one of the greatest of all time.
@@agitch the risk is that he loses some confidence/momentum and becomes a bit more vulnerable down at featherweight. It depends on how badly he loses of course
@@hunterhunter5998 Yes just like what happened to Israel Adesanya
@@theboxingbiker yes and the psychological damage could be even greater for Volk if he gets dominated and finished
He loses p4p #1, that's the risk. And he just got it. But anyways Volks is the f*ckin man no matter what happens.
Love the mutual respect between both camps. Both have a lot to lose and even more to win.
That grappling display by Islam is really 💥💥💥. This is an interesting match-up, 2 guys whose gas tanks is an entire service station ⛽
He tapped out the pfl undefeated featherweight champion in that grappling exchange who happens to be the same height and weight as volk
@@omarkandil7221 Movlid Khaybulaev
@@omarkandil7221who did? islam?
@Killthebatman87 Why would he make a Volk comparison with anybody else than Islam in this video, lmao?
@@omarkandil7221you also have to realize this is a grappling session 1 week before the fight. Neither Islam or the other guy was giving even 50%.
I like how Makhachev acknowledged Volkanovski as a great fighter. I can tell underneath all the short talk he respects him.
Exactly. Goliath didn't respect David and he got killed
People taking the shirt talk too seriously. It’s there playful banter. The Dagestanis. It’s taken out of context. Dudes even smiling saying it and they gave him this fight and opportunity . So
No doubt
Yeah he just trying to sell the fight a bit. Talking trash is not too natural for Makhachev
The short talk is him trying to build the fight obviously doesnt mean it
Goosebumps just from even thinking about this fight
Met Emmett in Vegas for diaz last fight and gotta say he was just super chill and a really nice guy. Good luck man!
Josh improving all the time...an animal with alot of heart.
I dont care if Dana the pumpkin head isnt promoting this fight enough, Im pumped for it! 1st, 2nd best fighters in the whole planet go at it this week!
Yesterday I was surprised when Dana don't remember Islam name. 😁 I am casual fan and I know more than 30+ MMA (UFC) fighters name.
This fight is being promoted just as much as any other UFC event. Y’all just like to complain at every chance possible
Too busy promoting slap fights.
@@soundwriter3083 not really tho
If really, no one interesting in Volkanovski and exactly in Makhachev *1.* The result is known in advance *2.* They're boring. exactly Makhachev. they can't selling PPV (Islam can sell some PPV only in his Arabian countries). *UFC must promoting fighters with charisma and great future like Ilia Topuria is. or young talents like Raul Rosas is.*
so sureal seeing your home town on UFC Embedded. You cant miss those West Aussie sunsets either. Hope all the fighters are hanging in there with our Summer sun.
Ufc needs to promote this more
The magnitude of this fight is insane
Ik right. I don't think we have ever had a fight where both fighters are at such a high level. They both seem unbeatable
A lot on the line this week. Hate to see either fighter lose.
Huge for the legacy of MMA not just the UFC.
@@LungZ762 I'm glad the UFC constantly n without hesitation most of the time do super fights. They don't milk padded records to promote or what not like boxing
Don’t feel like it lol.
They should have done some media tour like they did Aldo vs. McGregor. This is a bigger fight than a "regular" PPV.
Lmao, you're joking right?? Islam couldn't sell out a high school auditorium if his life depended on it! The sad part is that volk is paying for it! He would make a lot more money if he fought someone else!
Agree
No its not.
@@evwhizz Who cares bro it’s P4P #1 vs 2 why you worried about dudes personality
@BlackMagic 100% agree! You just need to look at mcgregor if you don't understand what Black Magic is saying.
Ultimate athletes🔥 UFC 284 will have moments to remember always. Makhachev vs Volkanovski will be a 2023 brilliant battle
These Embedded Vids Are Giving Good Hype To The Fights I'm Pumped Up For This.🔥🔥🔥

@@albinogorilla9423 And what was Khabibs legacy? fights with noname and amateur fighters and two title defence with average Poirier and Gaethje? also Khabib was big in weigh for that division.
@@n.fland.5694 How about never bled. Never got dropped. Never looked like he'd even been in a fight. Arguably never lost a round. And you might want to check weigh in vs fight day weights rather than just regurgitating what you read in a comment somewhere... Khabib was not excessively more of "weight bully" than anyone else in the top 5. Poirier and Gaethje have exceeded him for example. Also, calling them average is delusional. At the time of the fights they were killers. Same as Michael Johnson and Barbosa at the time of those fights. And if Khabib had fought Alverez instead of conor as planned (he'd already signed - conor got bumped)... You lot obsessed with title defenses would be looking at a crazy number and conor would never have risen like he did. That's why they are not so important. They are dependent on the politics of the UFC. *Edit: Michael not Demetrious
💯🔥

He sounds like he's on molly
@@manangoenka56 or maybe he's never touched a koala.

Embedded series is so dope. One of my favorite things about fight week besides the actual fight !!
Great to see more of Emetts personality come through in this episode.
After watching the countdown to this ppv it's so hard to not root for both Emmett and Rodriguez two great fighters with impressive stories and wins what a fight card.
It’s one of those cards… you hate to see anyone lose. Sucks
@Dave Dayya he’s not fighting for the title. And no. In no world is Yair a lesser contender than a prospect. Someone hit his head lmao
Well the card is pretty top heavy tbh, not many good fights except the main and comain....
thats how i feel for the last 4 fights! i want all them to win haha .. Im just ready for Saturday already haha
Emmet legitimately lost to Kattar and got gifted a robbery decision. Yair is coming off a loss to Max and a win over Brian by freak injury. The title fight should be Arnold Allen vs May Holloway.
So Awesome Seeing These Fighters At Perth MMA Places!!
As an Australian, my respect for Emmet has gone up x100. Stay safe brotha
9:02 his grappling is on another level
Coach Javier Mendez is a god sent for the dagestani boys.. What an incredible asset for the team 🙌
Mendez not only trains Dagestanis but many fighters. He founded one of the best MMA gyms where the strongest fighters train.
@@antonpaco yes he trained russian steroid pole
And an absolute jug of milk
Mendez and Meldonium are their "god send".
@@tiop-py8tc - Source? Probably Bobby Green... Also, the substance Islam was taking was Meldonium, which is prescribed to Islam by his doctor 'cause of his heart problems... And it was proved that's why he's still in the UFC. Now go do some Research first before you try discrediting others.
Bro Josh Emett looks ripped!!!
I feel like yair still wins
He does, man looks amazing on the pads and the bag too
Fighters seem to be going longer now, before in the lower weight classes your prime was late 20s and you become washed at like 32 now we got 34 year old champions
He always does lol
roid gut
And it BEGINS!! fight week is upon us!, so excited for this headliner.
“He never gonna come back to 155 again” Lowkey that was cold. 😤
It was pretty warm
@@EuropesFinest it was pretty 🥶 I felt it
Scary....................not
It's Russian conciseness. It's cold.
And the fact that it's TRUE he ain't lying that's the coldest type of trash talk😂
Volkanovski still one of the most underappreciated warriors in the world of sport. If anyone can beat Islam, it's him. Team Volk all the way. Greetings from Germany ❤️
Lol keep convincing yourself that
@@hmsp7799 Wait for it - and you will see for yourself 😘
i bet you said the same against Oliveira lol :D
@@laertesddthey said that too to charles oliveira. Your comment is Deja vu.
Volkanoski underappreciated? I don't know who told you that, but he is a champion, and if you are a champion in UFC promotion you can't be underappreciated. It's hard to say if he can beat Islam, I don't think so, but is possible, everything is possible in MMA.
I can't believe it's coming into reality! So pumped!!!
THANKS 4 COMING BACK TO PERTH UFC!!!
You know there’s levels when you saw all those Dagestani boys waiting outside the gym for it to open 😄
Josh Emmet has come across like a really nice, introspective person in this and the countdown. Never knew much of him before but I am very much rooting for him now. No offense to Yair, idk what he's like but I do love his mad shit

Those grappling exchanges are so smooth at the same time so complex also 👌👌

This fight truly feels like there so much a stake & absolutely love it! Too hyped for this fight week
After the fight Volk be like man i fought welterweights isn't this lightweight div?
Dude what the heck Emmett is training down the road from my house 🤣 I thought it was a muay Thai gym
I'm super hyped for this classic Grappler V.S. Striker but with a modern twist matchup!!
Josh Emmett is so underrated! He is a legit fighter.

Is he legit really? He's only fighter for the title.
@@liukiang8329 *title. Interim
Josh has been knocking cans out, he's not fought anyone worth a mention, Rodriguez has fought everyone except Volk!

The best edited episode of embedded EVER, Can't wait for EP 2
much respect to both champs. amazing Fight.
bellissimo modo per attirare attenzione, i vostri format sono i migliori
Volk you are a true inspiration to so many people, a leader who's life is an example of how to be a respectful champion and courageous human being

im so excited for this bruh this is gonna be ridiculous
The most important fight I can even imagine at the moment. It's going to answer the question of if there is an answer to the current dominant grappling style of MMA, or will it stay unsolved. You have somebody who has proven themselves enough to be considered by some the best MMA practitioner in the world trying to find out. I hope it's as fascinating as it feels like it will be.
Love the mutual respect from both camps
Love fights like these that introduce me into another fighter that's amazing and level headed ... I'm a new fan of Alex hate it took this long before finding him
Why did it take this fight for you to be introduced the #1 p4p fighter? Could just spend 2 minutes a year following the sport and u would know him
@@crispyhandle I'm new to the ufc learning new fighters everyday ... Idk why to be honest to your question but I'm glad it did holy cow Alex is a beast

I waited soooooo long for this episode
8:50 This is enough for me to say alex is not gonna be OKAY on the ground . Islam has some serious skills!
Good luck, hope it’s a great fight and all the best to both fighters and the best man will win on the night
I feel nothing but envy watching josh Emmett with a wombat!!! Also he became mini Kratos
Hyped for Volk and to see him achieve this monumental status. It's a VERY BIG DEAL. If he can do it, oh my goodness.... a legend is born. Can't wait to see what happens. Win or lose, I'm glad Alex is going for it and it's easy as far as the weight is concerned for him to do. He's the perfect guy to go for double champ status and up even further his P4P ranking.
Man if he pulls it off 😮😮
@@chaseholcroft511 Can't wait to find out
just the fact that volk has the cahoona's to take a challenge like this shows how much of a true warrior he really is. hope he gets it

@@Gastownfgc agreed man, it’s hard for these dudes who are just genuine nice guys to play up who they are.

Boxing needs to be more like ufc and make big matches happen more often, this is why ufc is on top they always got legendary fights in place.
That is also why ufc fighters get paid so little, money has to get distributed further and will cause more losses and each fighter will have less value. For our amusement ufc fighters get used and thrown out after a couple years.
Exactly, boxing cares about money more than legacy so they put their superstars up against no body’s so they can look good and look like their the best. In the ufc, fighters say f it and put it all on the line for us fans!! That’s why this sport is the freaking best!!
@@yardtoot4780 nah there's amazing fighters and so many levels since boxing is a old sport, boxers don't stand out because they been doing this as kids, lots don't really have a life yet. MMA will be the same once these organizations end up becoming belts organizations and turn like boxing. These fighters will get tired of getting used and fight for money. security.
@@BigPat6521I disagree, the UFC never had or never will never baby their champs or superstars for money and value. It will always be the best going against the best. And UFC fighters aren’t getting used. Idk why you say that? They fight because they wanna fight and prove their the best by beating the best, their not forced to fight. Islam and Alex literally challenged each other live without no negotiating, as a fan that’s what I want to see. Screw negotiating about money, just make it happen!
@@BigPat6521 but who tf knows. if your right, you better enjoy this era of the ufc. You got these two badass mfs fighting each other with what you call little money on the line. You should feel lucky to witness this match up. Because like what you said if this was the future of the ufc and it was like boxing it would takes years for a fight like this to happen.
