Alexander Volkov criticizes heavyweight division's one-dimensional style

Alexander Volkov has publicly criticized many heavyweights for relying on a single powerful punch rather than developing well-rounded skills. Using a video game analogy, Volkov compared these fighters to tanks with one strong attack that deals heavy damage. He specifically named Sergei Pavlovich, Derrick Lewis, Jailton Almeida, and Marcos Rogerio de Lima as examples. Volkov expressed frustration with fighting such opponents and emphasized his preference for continuous improvement and learning new techniques. He stated that he focuses on becoming a better mixed martial artist rather than just pursuing a title shot.
