I think the pressure is on Ilia…not Volk. Ilia has to live up to the hype now

[@112233JORDAN]

Anyone can frame it however they want. It really depends on the mindset of the fighters themselves, not how we choose to frame the matchup. I could easily say Volk has the pressure to come back from an L and he is "expected to win" as the p4p, 145 goat. . .ect

[@Ar1AnX1x]

both have pressure on them in different ways but yeah, Alex is levels above anyone Illia's fought

[@northparkfilms3045]

Just a tip from a videographer (I'm black as well) don't sit with your back to a window especially when you're darker skinned brother. Let that natural light face you

[@awwa8923]

this is so random, but good advice lol

[@Vex-iy8zm]

Awesome advice

[@JorgeMorrell]

Or you can put a light in front of Adesanya to expose better.

[@KaizenGamingPH]

First thing I also asked is why are they shooting against the light, then at the intro they are showcasing the view in Zurich, Switzerland which I understand. But unfortunately, the highlights is clipped and resulting in it being overexpose. What would be your ideal solution to this? ND filters?

[@northparkfilms3045]

@@KaizenGamingPH ideal solution he turns around so he gets better lighting on his face. Maybe add a fill light behind his head to separate him from the background. Also the audio they should get a dji mic they could wear one each for better sound.
