Based on what I saw tonight the guy seems to be a strong wrestler with really good cardio. On top of that he has pretty good hands and defense. He also had great spinning attacks similar to Jones with his opponent against the cage, he hit Hirota with 3 spinning back elbows off the cage. I haven't watched many MMA events as I used to back in the day but that performance was impressive. I think in the long run Volkanovski can make some waves at the 145lb division.
Stopped reading after really good cardio C'MON man lol.Guys a beast,been watching him for idk 3 or 4 years maybe.He needs to work on a few things,especially his cardio.He can make some waves for sure.
He's not ready for the big boys yet, but he's looking like a solid prospect with an impressive 15-1 record.
I have been keeping an eye on him for a while since seeing him on the Tiger Muay Thai trials where he won a scholarship. I think he can be a good addition to the top 15 but not ready for the elite yet. Perhaps someone like Arnold Allen next.
He looks pretty good but let's not forget his only two fights were Japanese fighters and historically they've pretty much looked like cans in the ufc outside of the odd one here and there
Too one dimensional. He's like a poor mans Chad Mendez.... and this is coming from an Aussie who wants any fighter from Aus to do well. I rekon he'll give anyone below the elite a tough run but will never be a top 3 fighter. Would love to be wrong though.
you are spot on mate, im a bit better than you cause i called it when he was fighting in the AFC in OZ, these goofs here are clueless
Nah. Not in the slightest. Good performance and a solid win but I don't know what he actually does well - he just seems reasonably well-rounded, that's about it. Not excellent anywhere.
Well, when your best win is over a 2016 Cole Miller, you aren't anywhere close to the top. He is a tough guy but.... yeah.
