Perspective of an Aussie: I don't go in for Aussie rules football or anything else we do, but Alexander Volkanovski is my favourite Australian sportsman. He's my Donald Bradman, I'm so proud of Alex, and I would be starstruck to meet him for a second, but also feel like I'd immediately get along with him after that. He's both the greatest international sports athlete Australia has currently, and also the most ordinary Australian that I could see hanging out on Christmas day with. I've never been so proud since we had the Olympics I reckon.

I think that might be the real difference in the fight: strength. I feel Volk will do fine striking against Islam, he even has the reach advantage and he’s faced powerful hitters with no issues; plus him being short and compact with those thick legs might be a huge help to stuff TDs or to stand right up. But looking at how close Ortega was at submitting him, I can’t help and think that if Makachev manages to pin him against the ground with that shoulder pressure, Volk will eventually drown. I hope he bulks properly so he can deal with Islams strength in the clinch and on the ground.

@thatWanderingSoul Жыл бұрын
@@fernandoish9194 Exactly what I was thinking. When 2 fighters are matched in skill and technique, it's the strength that comes into play. People don't realize how strong Islam is because he's not bulky like a bodybuilder. But that dagastan rat is strong as an Ox from all his years of wrestling. If Alex can't gain mass and strength the proper way? It's all over for him and his team.

I had my doubts about volk pulling this off but hearing how he’s preparing gives me faith,especially what he said about other guys only preparing to not get taken down. I always thought that wasn’t the smartest way to approach the fight it’s like training for a striker and expecting to not get punched in the face
