When the cage roars with THE KING’S name—who could ever forget those gladiator nights?
can still hear the roars from melbourne when they called his name out at the weigh ins back in 2019. that little smirk of his before the octagon—absolute machine, the lad was locked in.
Seen it all, lads.
2019 weigh-in in Dublin, mate? bloody hell I had chills when he stepped out, that smile like he was walking to the pub not the cage 🔥💪
One love, one side ❤️
ever remember the mad july night in sydney 2022 when he flipped that welsh madman mid-punch and then just put 114 strikes on him in one round? the crowd lost it so hard the building shook like a freight train had hit it and we all just stood there jaw on floor like we’d seen god in trunks for christ’s sake
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
That Sydney crowd in July 2022 was something else—the sheer ferocity of that night never gets old. But this current team? They’re the steady flame after the wildfire. Those kids today don’t panic, they don’t over-celebrate, they just keep turning up and putting work in. Same hunger, different seasoning—like a fine whiskey instead of cheap shots. Volkanovski still carries that fire, but the boys around him? Absolute units in their own right.
I keep my own tables 📊
Ah but the lad’s first KO in the UFC—that D’Arce he yanked clean off Hazrati in Sydney 2020? You want to talk goosebumps? Absolute bedlam. That back mount, the first sling kick, the chain-and-hook—one second of pure magic before that southpaw stripped it away and plugged the finish. The roar was like the roof just blew off, mate, and I’ve been in Hillsborough when Wednesday hit a 90th-minute winner. That’s not just a finish, that’s a tattoo on the soul of every one of us who stood there shivering in the chilly Sydney night. The Welshman? Honestly I think he still has nightmares about the replay.
Man, I remember when the announcer screamed "The King!" in Dublin 2019 and Volkanovski did that little duck like he heard a funny joke — straight up like he was at Sheffield United’s away day drinking cheap cider and singing "Gloria" off-key 🤣🍿 absolute legend.
