Media Volkov is a funny guy

[achoo42]

He keeps a straight face really well, wish he learned more English

 

[OldBoy91]

Very dry. I like him.

He even kept a straight face when explaining the comb situation. Saying he employed a new style coach.

It’s like Canadian, or British humour. Deadpanning situations where you’re dying to laugh your ass off inside. But you can’t break character.

 

[AldoStillGoat]

He's also graduated with a rocket science degree apparently.

Shane Carwin got his mechanical engineering degree.

I thought tall people were supposed to be dumb jocs? They tend to be smart...

Also very self-deprecating.

"I think the only sport I can beat Pavlovich in is in yoga. He doesn't seem like he is good at that. But I wonder, is yoga considered a sport?"

"I was very scared of Khamzat. I mean, this is a guy who 'kills everybody' in the Octagon. And now he's after me? I was very scared. But then I realized he is probably joking."

"I hired a hair specialist and brought him here to Saudi to keep my hair looking good in between rounds"

What is interesting is that Ivan Drago, that is, Dolph Lundgren, has a master's in chemical engineering and was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to go to MIT.

So Volkov is really living up to his namesake.

Some real funny stuff coming out about the Volkov/Sergei situation.
Copied from a post from elsewhere:

Some tidbits picked up from Russian interviews

1. They were not friends. All their interactions were related strictly to sparring. They are very different people. At the press conference he said jokingly “Baumanka beat VDV”. Baumanka is prestigious Russian science university and Alexander had finished it with a degree in rocket science. VDV is Russian airborne armed forces and Sergei was a part of it if I’m not mistaken. Roughly saying, it was engineer vs meathead fight lol

2. Alexander is a troll and a bit of a cool nerd. Smart guy too. It’s hard to appreciate since a lot is lost in translation. Combing hair was a sketch comedy thing. His trainers also said it was Alexander’s mom who asked them to comb his hair so her son looks beautiful during the fight lol. He also said that this fight is arranged by reptilians to make Russians fight each other, with a reference to a meme game “Slavs vs Reptilians”. Alexander’s jokes towards Sergei were very lighthearted and even self-deprecating. There were no bad intentions or getting in Sergei’s head attempts.

3. Pavlovich has zero sense of humor and a bit of a dense dude. Partly conflict is rooted in the fact that he doesn’t get Alexander humor at all, which is hilarious in its own right. (Please get them together for a Russian buddy cop film)

4. Ali is a piece of shit. Nothing new here. It’s possible that Rizvan misinformed Sergei too, which led to the confusion as to who took the fight first.

He's also graduated with a rocket science degree apparently.

Shane Carwin got his mechanical engineering degree.

Across studies, the correlation coefficient of height and intelligence was generally found to be around 0.2, indicating a positive association between height and intelligence which is weak but still statistically significant.

"I hired a hair specialist and brought him here to Saudi to keep my hair looking good in between rounds"

Gotta love Volkov. Guy has filled in his frame, is an immaculate sportsman, entertaining. Wish he would learn more english as I'm a fan of dry eastern wit growing up surrounded by it.

[Pancake Sprawl]

Yeah it loses a bit when it has to come through translation

Driving up the odds for a big self-bet win

 

[kingghidrah]

With his new haircut Volkov looks like Tony Hawk on HGH

 

[Pequeño Corey]

I can’t believe it took this long to see some of Volkov’s character. I really like this guy.

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Well we're all 6 foot 5 on here with multiple degrees dude so your statement checks out

 

[achoo42]

Yeah he's had 16(!) UFC fights.

Yeah he's had 16(!) UFC fights.

He def gotta run with it.

Nothin too crazy but its a silver lining that this conflict has brought out his personality.

I love how you say this and the only other guy you mentioned is a random heavyweight from 15 years ago.

May as well mention Johnny Walker is tall and is about as bright as a broomstick, so tall people tend to be dumb lol.

 

[CombatCyborg]

Very dry.

Exactly what I was thinking. Now I wonder if he didn't get someone to comb his hair during the fight as a joke ahead of time, it would show a lot of confidence.

 

[Captain Insano]

Volkov is actually hilarious. Who would have known?
