Alexander Volkov criticizes heavyweight division's one-punch fighting style

Alexander Volkov has criticized many heavyweight fighters for their simplistic approach to fighting. He compared them to tanks in video games that rely on one powerful strike to deal damage. Volkov named Sergei Pavlovich, Derrick Lewis, Jailton Almeida, and Jhonata Diniz as examples of fighters who depend primarily on having one good punch. The Russian heavyweight said he prefers mixed martial arts that involves skill development and trying different techniques. Volkov stated he continues to improve not because he needs a title shot, but because he genuinely enjoys learning new things in the sport. He expressed frustration with fighting opponents who lack technical diversity.
