Alexander Volkov has criticized many heavyweight fighters for relying too heavily on a one-punch knockout style rather than developing well-rounded mixed martial arts skills. He compared them to video game tanks with one powerful attack that does significant damage. Volkov specifically mentioned Sergei Pavlovich, Derrick Lewis, Josh Hockitt, and Waldo as examples of fighters with only one good punch. He stated that he is tired of fighting such opponents and prefers to constantly improve and learn new techniques. Volkov emphasized that his motivation is improving as a fighter rather than simply chasing a title shot.
