Idk I kind of feel like he always had respect from the fans until the second Holloway fight when a bunch of toxic Holloway fans (not saying all Holloway fans) decided to start hating on him solely because he arguably beat their favorite fighter in a close fight. Other than those toxic fans though, the real MMA community has always respected his skill set.

@@shushanthswinderballs1122 Volk was always known to the hardcore fans, who largely respected his impressive skillset. To the casual fanbase though, it was very much a case of "who the fuck is that guy?" especially after he beat Max Holloway because they had no idea who this Aussie bloke with a Russian sounding surname was.
