Quick read

Alexander Volkov has criticized many heavyweights for their one-dimensional fighting style, comparing them to video game tanks with one powerful strike. He specifically called out fighters like Sergei Pavlovich, Derrick Lewis, Jailton Almeida, and Waldo Cortes-Acosta as examples of fighters who rely solely on one good punch. Volkov expressed his preference for developing well-rounded mixed martial arts skills rather than just power punching. He emphasized that he continues to improve and learn new techniques because he loves that aspect of the sport, not just to chase a title shot. Volkov stated he's tired of fighting these types of opponents and wants more challenging matchups.
