The best way to describe Jacob Volkmann to a neophyte MMA fan is that he's sort of the 'substitute teacher' version of Chael Sonnen. Sure he wants to be controversial, but the way Volkmann releases words from his mouth gives the subtle suggestion that he's actually crazy enough to do whatever he says.

Moments after Jacob Volkmann handed Antonio McKee his first loss in nearly seven years, Ariel Helwani cornered him with a microphone backstage at UFC 125. Unlike us, Helwani doesn't need to use thorazine-tipped darts to sedate fighters in order for them to talk. After Volkmann commented on his win over McKee, he also decided to throw a few verbal overhand-rights towards our US president, Barack Obama. Before UFC 125, our government had no idea Volkmann existed. However days after his statement, the US Secret Service visited Jacob Volkmann to discuss his statement that he would like to 'knock some sense' into Obama.

Let's just hope the government doesn't see our UFC 141 post-fight interview of Jacob Volkmann proclaiming he would like to get President Obama in a 'painful submission' and 'rip' his arm off in a kimura.

The guy is practically Cro-Magnon he's so dumb, he looks it too.

I like that he gave Efrain a first aid kit, then proceeded to do absolutely zero damage for 15 mins. That was a funny joke.

Volkmann would never finish Obama. If laying in side control is a submission I guess that counts.

Regardless of politics, everyone should think Volkmann is just creepy and annoying as hell.

I really like him. He's aesthetically unappealing, anally intelligent, loves grappling and neither looks nor acts anything like a fighter. He's a hero for losers and nerds everywhere, which is why I find it surprising that he's getting such hate from the ME contingent.
That a bunch of internets nerds (hey, I'm one too) despise him for his socially awkward demeaner inspires nothing but pity in me. And disdain. Because he has an infinitely cooler job than any of you (chiropracter), is richer than everyone who's ever criticised him and in my expert opinion seems like a pretty cool guy.

allof that is a tick in the PLUS column normally, but dreaming of beating up on untrained physically unimposing people is generally the domain of the bully and douchebag.

He needs to let his actions do the talking for him and not his threats. Especially against the guy who owns the black helicopters. Dana will get pissed.

He also needs to be self conscious OR totally uninterested in anything other than he is doing/criticizi ng. Add self consciousness and you get F. Griffin, or add single mindedness and you get Palhares. Both cool but Volkmann isn't.

I cant believe people think this douche is intelligent, I have yet to see a single shred of evidence from anything he has ever said.

Even though I agree with him, he cant express a single cogent thought as to why Obama is a terrible president; which just makes him another partisan member of the US Sheeple.

"Anally intelligent" give me a fucking break.

Obama just signed the National Defense Authorization Act.... he could detained Volkmann indefinitely.

Volkmann really needs to drop this act.

This is why he doesn't care about healthcare "for non-UFC fighters".

He would probably beat Obama,they don't have grappling in Kenya. It's just bare foot and hitting each other with water melons.

Then again Obama is way funnier than volkmann in interviews.

Vague political aspirations aside, Volkmann is nothing like Chael. I think he's more like Brian Ebersole with all the weirdness but none of the charm.

He gives off a real creepy vibe. Like, you want to be nice to him but you're afraid he might befriend you and end up killing you in your sleep vibe.

He is going to get another visit from the secret service.

Hopefully they will draw him a picture that you do not threaten the president in any manner. Even in the form of a joke...that's a bad idea.

Regardless of his lack of humor and opinions, the $64,000 question is:

Would you pay money to see Jacob Volkmann fight?

Absolutely not.

It's good to have grappling skills but if that's all you're only gonna rely on and not improve at every other aspect of mma it's not really gonna cut it.
