Volkanovski congratulated Makhachev backstage after #UFC294 🤝 (via UFC)

[sultanbeybars]

Volk is genuinely a good person. You can tell what kind of a person is when one congratulates his opponent after his loss

[Aries]

No trash talk, no post fight antics. Just two warriors respecting each other.

[jamessylvain]

Just got to love the respect. This is true professionalism.

[fasteagle]

He even asked permission to walk in. True champ pure class.

[inazumashines]

It’s all about respect these guys make this sport beautiful

[MusicforMe]

These are two of the best representatives of MMA. It is very tough to reach the level these two have reached, unfortunately, there can only be one winner. To humble yourself and say congratulations, you are the winner when you have won all your life is difficult to digest mentally but hats off to the great Volkanovski for doing what he did. The fact that he overcame the loss shows that he is not just physically strong but mentally strong as well. 2 great men at the top of their game. Congrats to Makhachev and respect to Volkanovski.

[adi-zomb]
