    Any young fighter getting into MMA should study Yair Rodriguez. His all round game is so well balanced and he is a fantastic martial artist. His style isn’t quite as unorthodox as it first seems, it’s just a finely tuned unique style but super tricky for any opponent. Great fighter.

    Styles make fights. Yair got the style with long kicks and very good off his back but does he have it in the trenches. Punching range, grappling dimension is the big question mark. Eventually Volk got what it takes to block and close distance. He not going to be intimidated by standing static taking kicks for too long. Fascinating match up. Excellent bet to risk on Yair. He will be the underdog. Yair a straight up Ninja. Nobody can pull the stuff he does. I know someone else like that. Outlier
