He again made waves calling out U.S. President Barack Obama after the fight stating, “Obama needs a glassectomy…It’s where they remove the belly button and put a piece of glass in there, so you can see what you’re doing while your head’s up your ass.” The post-fight comments, again, got Volkmann placed on administrative leave by the White Bear Lake High School.

Volkmann next fought Danny Castillo on August 14, 2011 at UFC on Versus 5. The contest was mostly a grappling affair with Volkmann, on more than one occasion, threatening with a D’arce choke in all three rounds. He won the fight via unanimous decision (29-28 on all cards).
