"He got me,” Yair said of Volkanovski's knockout over him. "That fucking Volk boomed me." Yair added, “He’s so good,” repeating it four times.

That finishing instinct & sequence was awesome to watch

It feels like age or a higher weight class is the only thing that's going to stop this guy. Hope he makes the Ilia Topuria before going up to challenge Islam again.

Goddamn he’s a beast.

Unfortunately not close at all. Volk is just too strong and too good

Can we please stop calling Aldo the greatest 145r ever?

I've always been a huge Aldo fan, but you're right.

I hope eventually he begins to get the respect he deserves in that conversation, and hope it's not until after he's gone.

What a fight. Volk is the best, no doubt about it.

Masterclass, Yair didn't have nothing for him

His ground and pound to finish was so clean
