@@SuperHeavyGalacticFrank If Volk is 4’11 then Makachev is 5’4. Islam will defo have the grappling advantage and I think he’ll sub him late in the fight too. But Volk has the longer reach, and more punching power. If anything he has more leverage. Let’s not act as if Islam can even dream to hang with Volkanovski on the feet just like we can’t act like Volk can grapple with Makachev.
