Not only one of the greatest fighters ever but also one of the greatest bald men to ever live. Alexander The Great confirmed!
ur up there but i don’t think u have achieved that legendary status, keep grinding
I mean he's bald by choice. Lol. He shaves it.
@@DrSuess360he was going bald my guy, that hairline was going, but it takes a good man to just admit it and cut his hair
Also an inspirational short man
Legendary baldness
Man, I’m not sure if there will ever be a featherweight more dominant than Volk, dude’s a freakin beast.
Crazy to think aside from Conor the FTW division has had a row of dominant champions Aldo Max Volk
@@Luisknowstooons the rise of conor was dominant af
@@diegobaleiron4239 the rise yes, but with 0 title defences he isn't exactly a dominant champ
José Aldo?
@@diegobaleiron4239Dominance in this case means to dominate the division for years. Conor’s rise was impressive and he was dominant in that time period but he’ll never be known to dominate the divison like Aldo, Holloway and Volkanovski.
Alexander "The Great" Volkanovski is not just a great champion but a great human being and dad too 🙏🏾💪🏾
Great guy, never meddum.
Great hair too
Alexander The Great Macedonian Volkanovski
Damn bro you riding something hard must be sussie Aussie haha
When was this filmed?
This is the best UFC video I've ever watched. We need more fighters in that hot seat. We want to hear their thoughts.
They have a series on fight pass with about 15 of these, check them out man they’re great 👌🏼
@@Brady.Voh fucking sweet brother. Cheers
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.
Guys like Izzy and Kamaru and Volk, they're great champions. Active. More than willing. Most fans of this sport are toxic and fickle.
Shirk is haram
@@Extremely-GR33Nyessir! Every word you posted is 💯 % right
Beautifully said!!!
You couldn’t say it any better. This is exactly how I feel about volk
"That's what motivates me. I'm going to keep winning because of that. There's no bigger motivation than the family. So I need to be successful. I REFUSE TO LOSE." - Alexander The Great
he failed his family then by losing to islam twice
@@terrycruise-zd5tw Volk made Islam cry and got yelled by Khabib. Islam beat Alex their second time, but on little more than a week's notice. You really think that makes Islam look great? Yea, didnt think so. Oh and regarding family, i bet you that you havent done better for yours! Do better man
@@davidkim2016Boom roasted (Ben Askren)
@@davidkim2016 lol not even a full training camp was going to protect him from the headkick, masterclass performance by Islam, good try by Alex
If your motivation is your family then you're definitely doom. People kill steal, loot, cheat just for their family. The rise of Conor Mcgregor is the real definition of motivation. One can argue about the villain Borz, the peoples champion Colby covington. You see when one uses their family as motivation, they get too emotional and too much emotions makes a fighter crumble just like the unexpected depression of volcanovsky, emotional Cody garbrandt. They may achieve temporary success but not for long
I’m so glad he wasn’t judged based on him going up in weight last second to a title fight there should be more like him ❤
"I'm Max Holloway's worst nightmare" No one could predict how right Volk was when he said that. 4 years later entering 2024 Alex is still undefeated at FW.
💪
Alex is a great fighter and a great champion. Respectful, courageous and true to himself. These are the kind of fighters who truly represent MMA for what it is.
BOT!
Appreciate these great fighters while they are in their prime and after. Fighting is brutal and primes are short. Volk is something special
So true
Incredible. Australias best modern athlete and a total class act
6 inch heels while barefoot. I love how he had to let everyone know that 😂
There are greats, and then there's Volkanovski.
The fighters fighter, the fan favourite, the man, the legend, the absolute bloody weapon.
Volkanovski is a great humble and a warrior spirited champion and ALREADY a legend. The way he conducts himself win or lose is an example for young fighters.
Volk is such a legend man.
Legends never lose. Volks is far from a legend.
he got legendarily knocked tf out by islam
@@truthseekerKJVThat’s not true.
@@terrycruise-zd5twHow is that relevant?
cause he was still a legend even getting his head bounced up and down on islams knee@@twiggy1253
The true GOAT. This mans only undoing was his own hubris. Pound-for-pound he still has the most dominant style and skills.
The fight highlights, the chess matches, the achievements are all great to see, but the pride in his eyes when seeing his family on camera.... Just moving. Hats off to ya mate! What a guy!
"When you get married and all that type of stuff"... LMFAO. He said the thing!!!
Obviously... You know what I mean ?
*Alexander "The Legend" Volkanovski*
A nickname has never fit a fighter more than Alexander “The Great” Volkanovski 🙌🇦🇺
God what an absolute stud. His family at the end got me all choked up
Greatest of all time
😂😂
From a Japanese fan who loves the way he fights with his small body, one of the greatest champions.
"with his small body" Wtf kkkkkk, he is Not a Hobbit From Lord of The rings, You know The majority of OKINAWA's best karate masters are shorter than Volk right?
Not just my favourite fighter, my favourite athlete period!
Alex the great volkonovoksi he is a goat of the division❤️
My favorite fighter. TRUE and AUTHENTIC to the core.
Fantastic fighter! One for the ages!
🐐 status
I’m just glad this guy is finally getting the love he deserves after those Max fights.
@@ReposSamir mate… not everything revolves around Conor/lhabib that happened soon to be 6 years ago. Volk has earned his own fan base through hard work and impressive dominance in the 145 division.
Volk 👑 deserves all the success and respect shown in this video 👏🏻 He is a role model for Australia and man in general 👏🏻 THE GREATEST 👑🇦🇺🎉
When you search for ‘pure class’ for gifs, Volk shows up.
THE GREAT ❤
There's a Champ everyone can be proud of in the UFC! Enjoyed watching a real man tell his story! Congrats and keep it going! ❤
Much Respect from Portugal, Alexander. You are an example of a Man, and true Champion.
Volk is one of a kind, this generations GSP
Alexander Volkanovski ‘s HAIRLINE is going crazy through these years
what a great champion akex is and a great person
Volk man was dominating
He sure was, till he met Islam. Twice.
Still is.. hasnt lost in featherweight yet
@@ryanb8736what u mean he still is and hasnt lost his belt… islam is a lot bigger dude in a bigger division, u dont know that do u?
@@ryanb8736 Volk made Islam cry and got yelled by Khabib. Islam beat Alex their second time, but on little more than a week's notice. You really think that makes Islam look great?
@@ryanb8736Islam knocked out cold by a nobody ya dork
Volks just a beast.
Volk is a beast I’ve been to many of his fights epic
Great fighter, amazing video, incredible year for the UFC! I hope the next one will be even better.
Thought it said "fighter of the year" for a second, he deserves to be that anyways
I agree because I love Volk but he's lost twice this year so I can understand why he didn't
Hats off for this man. Happy new year from Norway Alex!
The GOAT
What a wonderful tribute to Volk❤So well done!
Respect! Saw this guy at 290. The Great definitely delivered.
Dude's a beast. Favorite fighter. Definitely a legend.
Love this guy. Huge role model.
Awesome, Volk. Such an impressive fighter and hands down a good bloke! No doubt he deserves all the success and praise
Great story so happy for you mate! I'm a big fan you are a true champion ! Thanks for all the amazing fights. How blessed are you with such a beautiful family. Go Volk
This man is such an inspiration
What a bloke ! Truely inspirational
What a Masterful Piece of Content!
I actually enjoy watching these vids of year of the fighters
One of the UFC finest. My favourite on the current roster for sure.
Love this guy! Volk is the most exciting fighter I have watched yet.
So happy to see this 🎉
There are so many legends in the ufc i hope they keep doing more of the year of the fighter 👏
By far my favourite ever UFC fighter. Absolute legend
Alexandar the great human and great champion Volkanovski. Happy new year everyone.
Love him
Love volk so proud he’s Aussie thanks volk and his team His fam
The Great is a Perfect Name for Him as he’s proven to be The Great at Featherweight GOAT! He’s not only confident but also a Very Humble Man and it shows he’s worth as A Parent too! His Wife and Girls lLove and Adore him. People like Volk only come in a A Generational Fighter! One of the Best to Ever have Graced the Octagon
Favorite fighter fr
Volkanovski is a Legendary fighter, glad to see his career develops.
This is great the ufc should be doing more of this can’t wait to see the rest of them the ufc should be doing this for a lot of the legends of UFC
One of the best runs and stories in MMA and it’s still going.
Awesome champion
Finally this man gets some recognition for his greatness.
Everybody knows him lol
Considered to be a goat of his division, multiple opportunities for claiming the title in another, tied as P4P best, every fighter ever has given him respect, when has he not been given recognition?
@@kpacch7085 I think during the first 2 fights with Max he was a bit underappreciated, but after what he did to Ortega people really started to catch on
All my homies love Volk
Alex is just a downright legend. One of the greatest humans, athlete, father, hard worker and inspiration to many
Your favorite fighter’s favorite fighter. Alexander the Great
Met him in person in Edmonton in 2019 at UFC 240 and it confirmed to me why he was my favorite fighter. Genuine good guy! So was Joe Lopez
Brilliant. The Mind of a Chef for Fighters. Better move this to N...... after a couple episodes.
My favorite ufc video I have ever watched. This permeates to every man. Work hard for your family. They are the driving force of our success💪
You can actually see the 'wtf' in Max's expressions during that fight
Favorite video officially
Not only being the greatest at 145 but also an amazing human being is what stands out to me!
True legend inside and outside octagon.
Volk🔥🔥🔥
U knw i saw your first fight i have been a UFC fun for 8 years and thank you for the touchin memorable massage .. # down to history 2023 UFC Player ... gud luck
Lets go volk
Well deserved. Legend.
I read a comment on the Michael Bisping episode of Year of the Fighter. The comment began by saying the person started off hating Bisping, but the end Bisping was one of his favorite fighters ever. And that comment really explains to a T how I started off feeling about Volk to how I view him now. I really though Holloway won the second fight and the first one was extremely close. And I am a giant Max Holloway fan. So I was really disappointed. I will say I do not think this 2 fights were a robbery. Volk won them both. But it has been Volks body of work after those 2 fights that really grabbed my attention and made me have to open my eyes and realize I was witnessing greatness in its finest form and in its prime. Its safe to say that he is easily one of my favorite active fighters and he will be one of my favorite of all time. I absolutely love his attitude. The way he fights, his heart, and his determination to find the toughest challenge he can find and then throw himself into it full on. He is an outstanding fighter and its really a treat every time he steps in the cage. I love his KZhead channel as well. So to Volk, you've absolutely earned your respect. You are one of the best now and when you retire you will be one of the absolute legends of the game. Much respect from 🇺🇲
Alexander Volkanovski es el mejor Peso Pluma de la Historia!! un tremendo Campeón y mejor ser Humano!!! una maquina en el Octágono y un deportista de Elite!!! va a recuperar su cinturón y lo llevará a Australia nuevamente!!!! let's goo Volka!!!!!
