      Volk has a longer reach than Max & a lot of other contenders in the division. He's built like a mini gorilla with longer arms than legs & no neck. This why guys have a hard time with him. Low center of gravity & Volk usually has a decent advantage with the reach.

      In my humble opinion, Volk is not going to pressure Topuria as he did with Yair, he gonna respect the punching power he isnt stupid, playing more the distance game changin stances, inside leg kicks on the lead leg, and i see Ilia looking for the close boxing range waiting for volk to throw some lethals, going to the body with the left hook, both of them have insane boxing feints, volk been more light with the feet, and ilia better with the tight boxing defense, sometimes volk change stances to southpaw throwing the right hand going forward leaving his left arm a little bit to low, and ilia been much more unexperienced, i dont see the fight going to the ground at least in the early rounds

      Another reason it's important for Volk to fight Ilia now, would have been bad for him, viewers and the sport in general if this wasn't the next fight. There is a very plausible scenario where Volk beats Ilia now, Ilia learns and improves to where he could beat Volk, but Volk has moved up a division and finishes his career before Ilia can get the rematch.

    I would say Volk has a bit more chances to win mainly because of his experience, but at the same time I don't see any other fighter defeating Volk apart from Topuria.
    Ilia has everything a top champion needs. He is really complete fighter who is really good on striking and also very strong on the floor, being a jiu jitsu black belt and having wretling background.
    He has the highest KO power of the division, but over all these qualities I think there is one that every fighter must have to beat someone like Volkanovski, which is the mentality, his confidence. I haven't seen many champions with the genuine confidence Ilia has in himself.
    Anyway, I love both and even if I want Ilia to win I would still be happy if Volk win the fight.

      But again, I was thinking the same thing when volk fought Islam. Islam's first title defense against volk, and Islam won. Then ko'd him on a week's notice. On round 2. Which is insane. This just goes to show, that sometimes champ experience doesn't factor as much as people think it does. It could turn a complete 180. Topuria and Islam aren't Yair, or Holloway, or Ortega. Upcoming fighters like topuria and Islam have a much more evolved fighting style. Other MMA styles, like sambo, folk wrestling, etc, are incorporated much more into their game. Exactly why volk was having problems with Islam.

And it wasn't as if volk was inexperienced or anything. Or didn't know shit. 2 weeks is still a long time. Some fighters take fights on less than a week's notice. Tom aspenall for example. Not to mention Islam beat him twice. Against illia, I would still definitely bet on volk if I was betting at all. Because now, you can't count volk out, hes a p4p king, the amount of title defenses he has, the amount of legends he's fought, volk is already THE LW goat. Imo. And he's in his prime.

    As long as you keep doubting Volk, he keeps winning. Maybe next time try to pick VOlk as the WINNER to remove the curse. But man i can see this fight as a Honey-badger vs Pitbull. You cant doubt Volk no more not until 2 or 3 years time, no pitbull can beat a honey-badger so my pick is VOLK the G.O. A.T

    Really looking forward to this one. Rooting for Volk but concerned about him fending off a Topuria KO. I also suspect that AV’s recent mental health struggles are very real. He doesn’t seem in a good place, at least to me. I worry that his comments this week about his drinking are indicative of this. But WTF do I actually know. THAT SAID, I legit NEED to see a video of Volk personally supervising Topuria trying to figure out how to amend his self-appointed SM “champion” status. That would be an all-timer imho. Lastly, IT has been absolutely frickin’ amazing in promoting this matchup and he’s hugely entertaining on most fronts. Bring it on!

Much of that being because of his boxing heavy style. Illia could get caught but I think it would be when they’re both in the pocket. Anyway, gonna be a great fight.

    He can wrestle Volk if needed... which volk is not very good at dealing with...
    Can knockout him even if Volk starts better in the fight...
    Really it won't be a surprise for me if he wins...
    Everything seems to be in his favor to win...
    Of course he might loose... but for me Ilia is a bad match up against Volk...
    This fight for me can go to a decision just like the Du Plessis fight...

  • @anjiemaru
    @anjiemaru 8 місяців тому +11

    I feel like Volk’s game plan for Ilia is going to be similar to how he handled Yair to utilize his leg kicks to get Ilia to open up for Alex to counter. For Ilia he’s going to go in and out side the pocket and land those combinations he’s good at if it goes to the ground Ilia has a good ground game he just doesn’t show it that much I don’t see Volk holding him down for that long Ilia has the tools and power to beat Volk but I wouldn’t be surprised if Volk dominates Ilia with ease because he has always proved everybody wrong I would be surprised if Ilia gets it done tho because nobody has ever beat Volk

    It's almost reminiscent of the lead up to matchmaking Charles and Islam the 1st time, we saw the level of competition Charles was exposed to and a lot of people thought Islam's lack of high level competition would be a hindrance going from Hooker and Green to one of the greatest lightweights of all time. Turns out Islam is just a bad style match up for Charles, although its a very winnable fight for Charles if given the correct approach. Both Volk and Charles are supremely complete fighters, its just a matter of application and adaptability to a style like Islam's, who is also very complete and intelligent as well. Volk and Ilia is THEE fight at 145 for me
