Islam Makhachev: "ZERO CHANCE Alexander Volkanovski finishes me" | Daniel Cormier Check-In
Alexander Volkanovski wants Islam Makhachev on less than two weeks notice, and Islam is adamant Volk just wants the big pay day. DC checks in with the champion ahead of his massive main event fight against Alexander "The Great," and Makhachev tells Cormier he's ready to dominate in their rematch. And don't miss Islam talk Leon Edwards and Colby Covington, and why he wants Colby next! Plus, Makhachev tells DC he thinks a "big check from Dana White" is why Volkanovski wants this fight.

The chemistry between DC and Islam/Khabib is tremendous.
Islam is always much more relaxed than Khabib. Now that his English is good enough, he's definitely funnier than Khabib.
Youn never took chemistry in college.
Bro said trememdous
Am I the only one that read that in Joey Diaz aka Uncle Diaz's voice? lmao😂
Dc has good chemistry with a lot of people he’s a good people person
The only interview all week that Islam is smiling ear to ear the whole time!
this is the best interview ive seen from him. im a Volk fan, but i like them both. im hyped for saturday
@villiantwo watch his interviews with dc he is funny
because they're such good friends the chemistry is amazing
I agree he seemed pretty serious. Good to see him get some relief talking to his friend
ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR is the father of all souls that JESUS, MOHAMMAD, GURU NANAK, VEDH was telling in BIBLE, QURAN, GURU GRANTHA SAHEB PRESENT MESSENGER of ALMIGHTY KABIR GOD is SAINT RAMPALJI MAHARAJ 🙏🙏😊
DC: “I looked [Volk] in the eyes!” Islam: “… how?” 😂😂
"I have rich guy with me, I ask him for money." 🤣
@@user-bs8fx9ym9nhis first language isn’t English man
LMFAO Ye thats what makes it funny to me and the face he makes after a joke, subtle. @@user-bs8fx9ym9n
@@user-bs8fx9ym9nharammm😂 its hard to be a non native english speaker, to articulate words in an interview where u have to answer fast
@@ndzm4722ive seen his interview in russian. he spoke exactly like that.
When Islam retires they need to have a show together, they’re the best duo ever lmao 💀
DC and Khabib
Khabib after this betrayal : DC was a fat snake in the grass 🐍
DC and IM show😂
@@mannyblackstarKhabib, "DC was never my friend, send location brotha"
DC&IM 😂
"If I need money I have a rich guy with me" Love it
"You send your kids to Dagestan to learn how to wrestle" had DC frozen with no comebacks lol
Its true haha, he sent over a team of young kids to dagestan for a month.
@@kpcarthe had to go himself first to see if they were legit though😭 he said he only let them go because he felt like they were good enough
Islam has a great sense of humour 😂
Dillussional and forgetful
You can tell he is a good guy.
@@STATOSHIDC literally clarified that he was JOKING. Islam is an average LW. Volk cuts more weight for FW than Islam for LW
Islam the religion is for satanists and pedophiles
@@STATOSHI cope harder
The energy with these two is always amazing, hilarious😂 May the best man win!
You done it again, you have 10 Likes but you're 2nd..... WE NEED TO DISLIKE YOUR COMMENT

@@sillyface8501 EVERYONE should do the same. I Disliked it out of respect for us who play fairly
You cannot not love this. These dudes are genuine and humble. Such good energy
Not really humble.
I don't love this. It's boring, like Islam and Khabib before him. It's dull.
Not humble, Not really genuine either , there is no way Islam believes Volks only doing this for money…. Funny that DC calls BS on him.
Humble?
DC is too biased to do commentary with his boy. DC would corner him if he could.
DC and Islam giving me the vibes I miss between DC and Khabib
Alhamdulillah
Sameee
"you promote guy now?" I love how people change their English (or any other language really) when speaking with someone with worse English than them, DC does it so perfectly and hilariously, it is a sight to see. DC always comes off as a great guy you'd want to hang out with all day.
DC is a legend. I love him
"Don't blink" He really delivered on that. I had to watch the replay to figure out what happened. I thought Volk just ducked and slipped.
Lie
Islam such a nice guy man 🤣 if I need money I go rich guy "khabib"
Nice guy? 😂
Saying Volk is only doing it for the money, and complaining that his belt isn't on the line? Well duh, if Islam challenged down a weightclass then his own belt wouldn't be on the line either, that's the way it works.
@@MrE1981looking at your previous posts, crying about Adesanya reveals your bias.
That pure brotherhood🤣
I thought khabib fought for legacy , not money? Was that all just part of the false humble narrative?
DC: "He weighed 180lb when he got the fight" Islam: "Brother you can do this too" Islam loves taking shots at DC's fat 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He is 😂
Islam is unintentionally funny, he cracks me up everytime lol
Jokes seem intentional, Same with GSP that guy seemed boring but is wittier than Conor.
DC will always get the best interviews from all the Dagestan guys.
It's amazing how adaptable DC is. He speaks broken English with Russians, a little ghetto when he's with black guys, and proper English on the announcing team. I love this man
I like Islam so much. I simply don’t get the hate. So funny and likable. Guy is just a wholesome killer.
Since he's more easy-going and smiles more than Khabib, people take the confidence he has and takes it as arrogance before Khabib was much more calm and serious. But when you listen to them talk, they both have the same level of confidence. It's just Islam is more forward with it than Khabib did, so people hold it against him. I'm pulling for Islam in this fight. Hope he manages to get it done.
Racism
so funny, lmao.
Ive never seen any hate at all. He's not funny tho, he's fucking awkward (at least in english). I dont expect him to be funny but just fight and for that he's one of my fav.
@@Flatule The awkwardness in his English is why it's funny.
They need to make a movie like rush hour wirh dc,islam and khabib 😅 maybe with tony in it as the bad guy
and jon jones as the final boss with GSP as a super strong Martial Arts Guru
This guy's English has improved like crazy
brotha he black belt in english now

The chemistry between these two... 🥰
🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
Right DC loves his boy. So biased in commentary
"analitics" u using big words now? lmaoooooooo
*analytics
I think he meant analysis, since dc used to do fight breakdowns
If someone asks him even an unnecessary question, he answers it very innocently with the truth. There is no structure in his words, so it is fun to watch his interview to see how innocently he answers every question. Islam Makhachev's precision and technique in the octagon are truly awe-inspiring. A rising star in the world of MMA!"Makhachev's dedication to his craft is evident in every fight. His relentless pursuit of excellence is admirable."Watching Islam Makhachev compete is like witnessing a master class in mixed martial arts. His skills are second to none."
Whenever Dc talks with Islam or khabib it’s funny and so friendly can’t get enough of them ❤😂
These guys are very genuine, they spill facts, Alex team undermine Islam and Islam definitely praises and respects Alex. He says this guy is super strong and I need to find a way to KO him. Edit: I just loved it when Islam voluntarily placed the belt on DCs shoulder releasing he took it from him in a humorous way.
we need 25 hours of podcast 8 times a week with these two fellas 😂
Islam kabib all this guys a pure soul they are soo humble may Allah bless them❤❤
Aamiin
But his fanbase are the most toxic Muslims I have ever seen
@@mannyblackstar Nothing beats Olivera fans , that jumped ship from McGregor. Always running behind a guy that has the hype and potential to beat Khabib or Islam. I think that is more pathetic.
i was waiting for Khabib to crash the interview and say to DC "DC stay humble" while tagging on DC gold Rolex.
He’s so confident this time that I believe him 💯 Islam gonna SMASH him💀
I dont see a path to victory for Volk. He lost 4 - 1 in Australia, where Islam was in total control except for the last minute. I see another dominant UD for Makhachev in Abu Dhabi.
I want islam to win But I have a Bad feeling This time A bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.
@@chadconnolly1138 the funny thing is he didn't lose for one
@@chadconnolly1138 this guy is scared. It's all fake Alexander. The great is going to put a beating on him
@@chadconnolly1138wrong. Islam will finish Volk in the first round.
10:08 Islam's smile! 😁
Islam the Most Humble Shit Talker 😂😂😂
They way DC slapped his hand at 1:30 bruuuuuh 😂😂😂
This is considered super disrespectful
@@arminius6506 according to who ? 🤣
@@CoolAdam247 according to real world (not spoiled west)
@@arminius6506 They are close friends. Cormier trained with Khabib and Islam way before any of those 2 were LW Champions
Dc is older than him. He can do that and Islam can say nothing about it 😂
Islam: Analytics Daniel: ohh you're using big words now 💥🎭😂
Who else here thinks Islam vs Volk will be FIGHT OF THE YEAR?? 🔥
Jiri vs Pereira will be better
@@theworstbox I would say possibly KO of the year but Fight of the year will be Islam vs Volk 2 👍
Islam vs volk 1 will be the fight of the year. I see a finish in the second fight.
Kamaru vs chimaev too, to be honest this the only interesting fight card the UFC still got, the others just boring fake storylines.
Nah, I see a performance of the night for Islam. Not gonna close this time I think
Dc: he cut his wt from 185 pounds Makachev: you can too 😃
Let’s go Champ, rooting for you!! Hoping for a round 3 or 4 submission but gonna be tough to submit Volk!
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE
@@imakimmy2excuse excuse excuse 😂😂😂😂
cause volk no neck, its why hard to choke him 😂

@@imakimmy2 are you ok now or in hospital
God I'm so nervous for this fight. Let's go Islam! Shut the haters down once and for all 🔥
He needs IV with some PED's to win 🤣🤣🤣
Volk just needs 2 weeks to get prepared😂
Inshallah Alhamdulilallah
I’m never nervous but I’m amped
@@RedCloudZionsmaller man bio's different... Etc.. tough guy still .. good luck both men ..
Love DC with Islam and Khabib that shit is always gold 😂
Islam : "Who can finish me ?" DC prolly wanted to say Adriano Martins 🤣
Same😂🤭
Lol.....another time..Fighters need a short memory and this guy has just that.😂😂😂
This was awesome. Y'all got me laughing over here. The comradery is real.
Indeed all the hype about awakenbeerus is real, the guy really knows something we do not about these matches
Like what?
Bot
Jesus u mfers are even in these videos
Love Islam’s sense of humour ❤
Makhachev had me dying when he kept calling Volk a short guy before the first fight 😂😂😂
6:10 DC almost said: “but you were knocked out before brother”
Always fun to watch DC with these guys
amazing energy between these guy. Much respect as well.
"You promote guy now?" LOOOOL DC is so funny when he speaks broken English
Love seeing DC with the Dagestanis great brotherhood lol
As a Dagestanian, I really love America&Americans
Alhamdulillah Islam Makhachev won flawlessly
this interview is so satisfying after the fight😂❤
This is gonna be a blast both fighters wanna finish each other.
Love the chemistry. Great interview.
Islam vs colby would be epic af. If colby and Islam both win their next bouts we gotta see that match up
Was really waiting for this interview 😂😂
I love how much he loves and respects the belt.
I need to see Colby vs Islam.... It would be like McGreggor vs Khabib in the build up. A spiritual successor
These two are so much fun love too watch them 🤩🤩
Was waiting for this interview since last few months 😂❤
Great interview as always DC, let's go Islam Makhachev 👏👏👏👏
I feel DC is tryin to put some sense in Islam and make him realize how dangerous Volk is but Islam isn’t trying to focus on his weakness and try to avoid the danger
I think you're misinterpreting Islam. You have to understand that the title of "Champion" holds so much weight to him. So when he acknowledges Volk as a Champion; that's Islam acknowledging that Volk is dangerous. He even said that he knows that Volk wont give up. Acknowledged that he's a pound for pound great. Remember that Khabib wasn't happy with Islams performance last time. And Khabib played a massive part in the training camp this time. So Islam knows, either through his own respect for Volks ability, or because he respects Khabibs opinion enough to take what Khabib says to heart. That said, this fight is still impossible to call. I'm pulling for Islam, but I 100% believe that Volk could get a win. Both men are too good for one to not have a chance.
@@BlahBlahFreemanna i got the same feelings he better dominate cause he will gas out if he squeezes and volk gets out
@@fabolousjada5070 yeah, could happen honestly. The silver lining is I think really no matter how the fight ends it'll end up being a satisfying end.
@@BlahBlahFreemanyour point about most people not understanding the way Russian/Dagestan athletes place so much respect on “World Champion” was spot on, through the years working with and training with wrestlers all over the globe I’ve always noticed this. If one of those mountain wrestlers/athletes calls anyone a ‘Master of Sport’ this is the highest praise/compliment besides ‘ World Champion’, they joke around a lot and it’s usually stone faced like what you see with Khabib Islam and Khamzat, I’ve come to realize that this is partly because they’re translating to English and they don’t understand where to put the inflections and partly because their culture is about respect so much that to them it’s clearly sarcasm because they wouldn’t outright disrespect a friend-fellow competitor - or anyone that doesn’t bring the same disrespectful energy in that way because their culture doesn’t look highly on that. Understand also that they’re all pretty much just fight at the drop of a hat type of guys so even though it seems the opposite sometimes as long as they’re talking and not fighting you in that moment then there is a level of playfulness to their wild claims, just like Islam kept saying Dagestan had more golds even though he knew it was false he is playfully conceding that US team the past two years has been better than them and that he still believes they’re better than US even though they lost.
Islam respects him and knows he's dangerous. This is all in order to sell the fight as well. As long as Islam keeps his trash talking towards Volk's decisions and his fight game, its all good. Fans get angry with Islam whos overly confident but were laughing when the likes of McGregor insulted fighters their country and family members to the point some spiraled into a despression (Aldo). As long as Islam doesn't become a person like that, its all good.
Love watching the interviews with DC, Islam, and khabib, always make me laugh
The way they love the sport I bet bro really be walkin around wit dat belt
Both men my favourites.. so good fight guaranteed
What a great, hilarious dynamic 😄
Best interviews are with Islam...These guys are such good friends and so funny together.
they both in one room is always 100% fun and entertaining. brother energy
☝️ Great chemistry bw Daniel and islam as always
Man i really can't wait to see the fight
and Islam finished him
DC's relationship with the fighters is always fun to watch
DC has by far the best fighter interviews. I am baffled how it doesn't rack up insane views. Everyone should watch these.
DC's english ability is amazing😂
Always good to watch the convo between DC and Dagestani Bros
Loved it. Thanks, DC.
İslam confidently saying no one in lightweight or welterweight can finished. Wow
Funny he says that now that khamzat not there? Khamzat said he was the best because he has no losses. Islam went quiet. Khamzat would fight Islam but Islam would Never fight khamzat.
@@JOHN-zl5kwkhamzat is not a welterweight anymore. I doubt he’ll ever go back
@@JOHN-zl5kwwho told you that? 😂 you think these fighters are chickens like you 😵💫
@@JOHN-zl5kw It's to avoid fitnah
Yeah it’s funny because he got knocked out by a guy who’s not even in the ufc
DC and Islam ….the way the world should work 👍🏼 one for all and all for one 👍🏼 beautiful to see and hear 👍🏾 God Bless 🌎🌏🌍
You analytic guy now? You promote guy now? Gotta love DC's Daglish.
Daglish? I like it, considering that "Dagestan" language is exist 😂
DC is so likeable, I just want to smack him 😂
Always fun to watch DC with team Khabib. 😄

This belt is like the ring of Mordor, who gets it won't give it away for anything. Charles even tells himself he still got it, so he won't become desperate like Gollom.
Hahahhaa👍👍
Precious
Best comment😂
😂
I applaud DC and Makhacev's friendship
I JUST LOVE DC, THE BEST OF IS THE BEST OF WAS THE BEST OF EVER WILL BE!!!! WHAT A GEM
Islam glows differently when he is with DC
His wife: Okaaay 🥲👍
If you're reading this and haven't seen the 2nd fight yet...he finishes Volk like he said he would. ☝️
Big hugs to Dağıstan from Azerbaijan ❤
DC referring to Morning Kombat when he says they said Islam won 4-1 in the first match. I agree with this scorecard
Islam the Judoka, the fighter, the biker, the horserider, the troll, the analyst, and now the promoter 😆
Father, friend,husband, son, brother
I'm impressed with Islam's English it's getting really good 👍
Considering that English is his fourth language
Islam versus Covington is my dream fight. Best American wrestler against the best Dagestan wrestler in MMA. I hope it happens. They both need to win They’re both next fights, though.
Can’t wait for another great fight between two of the best!
The Charles disrespect is crazy 😂 he better get through volk talking this spicy
I mean, he talking about his opinion, charles give up in the first fight, but volkanovski go for 5 round and he did not give up that's a fact.
The Aussies have really proven to be sour type of people, from fans to the entire team and the fighter himself sadly.
Aussie cricket fans aren't different either
13:29 i have rich brother khabib 😂
DC, your are very lucky to have been with the most disciplined MMA fighters of all time.
Love you DC, fan from India 🇮🇳
Fawk hindi
@@_don206 Why you hating. Stop being a racist
Indian hates Muslims from Palestine , so fukof
I love how DC never gives up on backing USA wrestling, these guys will never admit it even when we got the gold lol
He did what he had said. Man of his word...Like Khabib.
Good to see you together again
