I think you’re confusing that fight with moreno’s.To be honest if Yair had even 10% of takedown defense he could have won the fight. His standup was better than Volk.

He didn't use it - his best bet was to take some risks and basically risk gassing out with heavy shots from the outside. Instead he let Volk stay close and walk him down from round 1. But could have predicted the same based on the Max fights. Yair isn't a stand up god or anything, he's landed some impressive shots.To be honest if Yair had even 10% of takedown defense he could have won the fight. His standup was better than Volk.
