This was @ WW but his only finish loss until yesterday. From southpaw Corey Nelson body kicks and head kicks spelled his doom. Look how uncomfortable Volk was as soon as Corey switched stance. Fast forward a decade later Islam and his team mustve noticed this. Islam had alot of successful from southpaw with kicks 1st fight and he used them from the start.
In Max rematch he went southpaw and was up 2 rounds early even hurting Volk with a spinning kick. This is a BIG weakness for Volk specially from a taller fighter who lets face it most fighters he fights will be taller.
Makes me think Arnold Allen wouldve been a very very tricky matchup for Volk had Max not derailed him. Hes probably the best southpaw in the division, can kick and has good boxing from there. Good grappling and defense too.
