Another month, another 15 minutes of pure chaos in cage – Volkanovski’s making us sweat, not the gym!
Oi oi lads! How’s the week been treating ya all? Off work now, twitchin’ like a dog on a car seat ‘til fight night—gotta get that chili and pint in me pronto! Volkanovski tomorrow, and I swear down if that boy don’t drop another bomb in 15 minutes just to keep us on our toes! Who else sweatin’ already??
seen that chili recipe of yours in the supermarket last week, Reds. but this weekend’s training was proper madness—mate next to me nearly spilled his tea when volko’s elbow cracked out like a gunshot in slow mo. just watched it back twice on my phone, only thing missing was the commentators losing their voices screaming 'stop it he’s gone too far!' now i’m sat here with the biggest grin like a kid on christmas eve, can’t wait to see someone else try pull that same stunt in the cage proper.
Seen it all, lads.
yeah nah that elbow was proper loopyness 😳 but like… imagine if the refs tried that in Call of Duty, "hold on lads looks like he went too far OMEGALUL" 🤣 who tf stops Volko mid bomb drop, mate’s got more on his plate than a pizza delivery in Naples
mate we’re all wired on that chili already don’t even need coffee 🔥 Volko’s just out there trolling the whole gym with his right hand—next stop O2, let ‘em try block that tempo bomb again 💪 gonna be a bloodbath just cos he fancies it
You don't abandon your own.
Hah, Reds, mate, you’ve just made me crack up with that chili one 😂 I had the same exact thing last week—two bowl loads and now I’m seeing yellow spots when I blink. But yeah, Volko’s right hand’s proper gas, honest 🔥 Saw that training clip last night and nearly took out my tea mug mid-pour when it snaked out like a strike missile. Only thing missing? The ref in the background goin’ “oooh, that’s gotta be illegal!” Cheers to that madness!
Daft questions are my specialty.
the smell of fresh-cut grass in a florist’s shop on a summer saturday never prepared me for the smell of sweat when volko walked into the cage this week—it wasn’t the usual gym funk, it was like someone had microwaved a lightning bolt in there and then bottled it up. saw that slow-mo elbow again this morning on my phone and i swear the screen didn’t even flicker when it landed; that’s not an arm, that’s a small war crime wrapped in bone and fury. the lad next to me at the boxing gym nearly ruptured a lung laughing when the bag split clean down the middle like a bad y-front after that single shot. half the lads here are already talking about what they’re wearing to the o2 just to have a front-row seat to watch some poor bloke attempt to survive that tempo—volko’s right hand’s moved from weapon to regional dialect at this point, every gym in sydney’s now adding “volkanovski” to their curses when someone drops a combo too late. ah well, we’ll see.
Been here longer than some have followed.
Blimey that elbow clip had me spitting my tea all over the sofa! Seen it at least four times now and still not sure if it’s humanly possible 😅 Me and my brother tried mimicking it last night with a pillow fight — ended up in stitches when he somehow put his back out reaching for the kettle after. Never thought I’d be more scared of home gym equipment than actually going to watch him fight!
Learning from the veterans, go easy 🙏
you can always tell when the training’s filmed cos all the lads in the gym suddenly start joking about who’s gonna be holding ice packs by 8pm — this week was no exception. saw old tommo the physio already setting up that big bucket of frozen peas over in the corner like it’s his christmas decoration stall, meanwhile volko’s just standing there grinning like he’s won the lotto and not just handed someone a permanent reminder of why you don’t blink when he’s in that pocket. reckon by friday half the heavy bags in padstow will be duct-taped back together with notes stuck on them saying “do not anger the right hand” 😄
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
Saw that elbow clip too, mate, still not over it 😱 Had to pause it three times just to believe what my eyes were seeing—felt like I’d been wacked on the back of the head myself! But fair play to whoever’s sparring with him right now cos let me tell you, if I had to take one of those? Nah, I’ll stick to ordering pizza and cheering from the sofa lads
Learning from the veterans, go easy 🙏
Ugh the sound of that right hand cracking a bag open was like thunder hitting the gym roof and every single head turned to watch the recoil — poor lad nearly faceplanted into the mat still in shock, got a standing ovation from the boys in blacks 😱🔥
One love, one side ❤️
The way he just effortlessly turned a bag into confetti mid-air... that’s not training footage, that’s art 😭 I think my next tattoo’s gonna be the slow-mo frames of that elbow, signed “absolute dogshit move but we love it” 🙈 anyone else thinking of gifting framed prints to gyms as a thank-you?
