Alexander Volkov criticizes heavyweight division for one-dimensional fighting styles

Alexander Volkov has criticized many fighters in the heavyweight division for their limited, power-focused approaches. Volkov compared them to tanks in video games that rely on a single powerful strike to deal damage. He specifically mentioned fighters like Pavlovich, Derrick Lewis, Josh Hoquit, and Waldo as examples of this one-dimensional style. Volkov emphasized that he prefers mixed martial arts to be about continuous improvement and developing diverse skills rather than relying solely on knockout power. He stated that he works on improving himself because he loves learning new things in the sport, not just because he wants a title shot.
