Hey everybody and welcome to an Elite Wild Ride with Steve O. We've got according to

ESPN the number one pound for pound fighter in the world, Alexander Volkanovsky. What an

unbelievable treat this is and I think we're going to generate some headlines within the

MMA community because we talk about some pretty controversial stuff. So strap on your seat

belts and let's get into it. Alright so here we go. Ladies and gentlemen, Alexander the

great Volkanovsky. Yeah, man I love this. Thank you so much. I just went ahead and blasted

you a DM on Instagram and that's how we got through and thank you for doing this man.

I always thank you. It's a blowout. Having you in on Instagram message me and I'm like,

what? Steve I've been a big fan for a long time. So thank you man. I appreciate you reaching out.

Likewise, dude, I love your work. And we've just had you go for double champ status. That fight

happened in Perth and the day of that fight I was flying to Las Vegas for a random gig and I thought

maybe Dana White wouldn't be bothering to fly all the way to Perth so I hit up Dana.

So I'm looking for a place to watch the fight in Vegas and Dana said come on over to my house.

Oh well. So we show up at Dana White's house, me and my girl Lux and I mean I probably shouldn't

see too much, but you pull up and there's like a guy with a gun sitting in like armed security.

The hobby dude, it's like you know billionaire boys club over there. There's a lot of fun

and we watch your fight together against Islam. Did you watch the prelims at Dana's?

He told us to come over about 6 p.m. Where you're like, oh Steve watches every fight starting

in the prelims all the way to the end. So when you go to the eventual day,

oh yeah, did we sit in the seats for six hours? Yeah, I love that. Yeah, it's great.

And the praise that Dana gave for your fight, you know, he says you couldn't ask for a better fight.

And Joe Rogan thinks you won the fight against Islam. No matter what, that was a great thing for you.
