Definitely a well - rounded champ, for sure.I think Volkanovski will always be considered underrated due to the Holloway fights. He dominated the first fight quite clearly and edged out the rematch. On the night I scored it for Holloway but re-watching it, the last 3 rounds shifted.
He's a great striker with good defense and a good chin. His wrestling is very strong as well, and he can't be held down for long.
Lol yeah, I mean it’s an edited 45-second video of a light sparring session.That random Volkanovski fan cut that sparring video up to fit his narrative. He’s not outstriking shit there, don’t believe everything you see on the internet.
Read that as Yan vs Volkov
6’7” vs 5’7” hehe

I had him winning the 2nd Max fight but I think most people watching really got carried away by the knockdowns and possibly Bisping's "commentary."
Khabib type of animal in his weight class will maul Volk. It will look like he has no restlin at all. Volk has an answer to top level striking but he hasn't seen tom level grapling, especially TOP CONTROL a La Khabib style. That beast hasn't knocked at his doors yet.I think Volkanovski will always be considered underrated due to the Holloway fights. He dominated the first fight quite clearly and edged out the rematch.

Two very different strikers. Volk excels striking in space, where he can use his bounce, feints, and leg kicks. Yan rarely kicks to the leg, and instead uses his ring generalship to compromise opponents against the cage. The open area here clearly favors Volk.
