So, Rodriguez won the Interim, Volk lost his fight. Now, Volk will have to go back to defend. Though he had a good performance against Makhachev, how do you guys think he matches up with Rodriguez? Is his title in danger? Rodriguez looked on fire and proved to be dangerous if one takes him down.
 
Yair has a small chance but Volk is the FW GOAT
 
I think Volks grappling and pressure will make the difference. He won't give Yair any space to land kicks. He'll be on him early and mix it up constantly.

I'm still not convinced by Yairs defensive grappling. Activity on his back and aggressive submission attempts aside, I can't see Volk getting caught on the ground.
 
Yair going to upset, the guy is crafty and getting better.
 
I think it'd be close on the feet. Rodriguez is one of the few fighters who can match Volk's speed and he has amazing kicks. Unfortunately Rodriguez is just super reckless and I feel like Volk would land some easy takedowns and eventually take over
 
Volk's getting duffed.
 
Go rewatch Frankie vs Yair and Volk vs Max 3

It will be a combination of those two fights
