Media Volk Emotional on ‘Need to keep busy’ driving him to take fights

[BigSexy444]

This is why family, your wife and kids, mom, dad, sibs are always more important in life than profesisonal / business career / college / social status / endless pursue of something someone else defined as "success", etc. Also having more than one occupation in life. Westerners are struggling with mental health, the pace of professional life is killing them and they are not capable of regulating it. Lmao

As if family is stable in modern western life <45>

All the sherdoggers will now reveal the secrets of success and how they are able to achieve greatness without staying busy.

I honestly think this will be 1 of them moments that Volk regrets and will lead to his downfall. He'll rush back in an it will lead to more disaster.

Impossible to be happy with no hair and height. MMA is saving him

i saw it in the Yair fight. he was getting hit with some big punches from Yair that looked like if Yair had just put a combination together instead of just throwing 1 bomb at a time, he could've really hurt Volk.

It's been happening in his last few fights, even in the 1st fight against Islam he froze when hit.

I thought fighters only fought for money though!!! That's what everyone tells me!

Some of y’all are so fucking soft.

I’m all for mental health awareness but what other indication do you even have for this? Even if that were true a man has to work and work is often therapy. Especially when talking about man like Volk. He’s out here having a high profile fighting career and he seems to absolutely enjoy that shit. Sure he got head kicked but he just wants to keep going and is indicating he feels fine after getting knocked out. Medical examination will decide if he’s fit to fight.

he’s not depressed, he’s a fucking competitor.

Yeah I don't want to be insensitive to people, but what the fuck is up with everyone being anxious and depressed and everything all of a sudden? Everywhere I go I see signs telling you "it's ok" and stuff. Like, are people depressed because they're being told they're depressed? It's as if you're not allowed to feel negative emotions without it being a condition. Humans are allowed to feel happy, mad, sad, etc. That's part of life. But I do see younger children having big behavioral problems all the time now.

Feeling depressed and having a depression are two very different things.

Dude just went 2-0 in his rivalry losing a title fight by a head kick while being an absolute competitor, so I’m sure Volkanovski is in a completely clear state of mind when he’s announcing how he feels mentally.

humans are - in varying degrees - ill adapted to the demands of the modern world. we all evolved to be hunter/gatherers and/or farmers. there are even studies that show that autism may be an evolved trait that could have been an advantage in more archaic human populations from thousands of years ago...and yet we can all agree that autism is anything but an advantage in modern societies

nevertheless, addictions make everything much, much worse. and the modern world promotes addictions because a population of addicts makes some people filthy rich

the world is a difficult place for most people. but the reality is that some people are biologically more prone to addictions, than others. and addictions make everything much, much worse

This is a dumb post. He just fought in July and was scheduled to fight in December. So that makes 3x this year. 3x a year is normal and even on the high end for a champion.

 

[Corrado Soprano]

Come on, your kids are gonna see that.

 

[HHJ]

Uh yeah

Im sure he cried on purpose bro

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

His kids would also see him beating the shit out of 99% of the planet.

He's allowed to cry.

But dumb ass decision taking this fight on short notice.

 

[TR1]

Go home and get your shinebox.

 

[Spam On Rye]

Why do you care about a person you don't know crying? Cretinous behavior TS. Please stop.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Ahh, I see TS is more alpha than Volk.

Getting emotional after losing a championship fight = beta, eh?

 

[jeff7b9]

do some man shit and crush those feelings away dude!!

Is it dumb if he made a few millions?
