Alexander Volkov criticizes heavyweight division for one-dimensional styles

Alexander Volkov voiced strong criticism of many heavyweight fighters for their limited approach to MMA. He compared them to video game tanks that rely on a single powerful strike rather than developing well-rounded skills. Volkov specifically called out Sergei Pavlovich, Derrick Lewis, Josh Hewitt, and Valdo Cortes-Acosta as fighters who depend solely on knockout power. He expressed that he is tired of fighting opponents with this one-dimensional approach and prefers to constantly improve and learn new techniques. Volkov emphasized that his motivation comes from love of the sport and skill development rather than simply chasing a title.
