I was been watching Yair previous fights (Including that one with Max) Yair is a different kind of fighter than Volk has faced and will catch him with something weird and unorthodox....Yair will have reach advantage and those kicks to the head and body to a short Volk!!!...I see a 3rd round KO/TKO coming......and would not be surprised if Yair won a UD....I know I am going to get toasted for posting this but man I got a bad feeling about this fight for Volk.....Am I wrong?....am I crazy??? time will tell.

Morning Report: Henry Cejudo believes Yair Rodriguez can be ‘a lot tougher’ for Alexander Volkanovski than Islam Makhachev
 
The only thing that makes me question Volk is his age. For a fw, knocking on 35 years is a dangerous number. Speed and reflexes are everything for the small men.
 
I’m not so sure Yair’s flashy footwork will even hold up against Volk. He better be ready to check and if he is, he might become more hittable than we’ve ever seen him. In the fight game; guys look a lot “different” when it’s somebody “different” in there with them. … And that’s not counting the wrestling.

I'm clearly not the only one who thinks this LOL

It's kind of a shame, but Volk's best chance at winning is mostly likely a relatively boring performance where they exchange punches/elbows on the ground with Yair on bottom.

I think Volk can out-strike and outwrestle Yair, but the issue seems to be the fact that Yair is going to be dangerous for 25 minutes. Volk cannot relax in this fight.

I expect Volk to outwrestle him. However, if he gets comfortable out-landing Yair on the feet, he could catch an elbow or a headkick (or something else random) and then get TKO'd.
 
Volkanovski will prove Yair is the Anthony Pettis 2nd. Too much flashy shit without real, organic, solid MMA aspects. At least he is way more humble than Pettis and don't deserve a beating like Pettis vs. Dos Anjos lol, that was a deserved massacre. But Volkanovski is way better, if he loses it's just father time. I really don't see it.

Please take me fishing on your new Yacht after this fight!
 
I can see a TKO happening, no way he UD's Volkanovski imo.
