Ilia deserves a TS with that performance, but can he handle Volk's movement?

[taugrim]

Ilia has systematically cornered every fighter he's face and landed with fast, accurate, crazy power. Emmett was thoroughly outclassed, and while the significant strike count gap wasn't that large, the quality of the shots landed was so far in Ilia's favor.

The real question is whether he'll be able to land with meaningful volume against Volk, who has superb lateral movement and timing with his leg kicks.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Volk outpoints him.

 

[Soggust]

Volk is going to eat him alive with leg kicks imo.

 

[Black Blood]

Volk is going to eat him alive with leg kicks imo.

Just about the only thing that Topuria hasn't shown yet is solid leg kick checking. If can come up with an answer for the kicks Volk might be in trouble against him.

 

[Willek]

Volk won’t even beat Yair.

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

Volk won’t even beat Yair.

I have that same feeling, Volk has been staggered/stung in his last couple of fights and against Yair he has to fight perfect the entire 25minutes.
