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

Alexander Volkov has criticized many heavyweight fighters for their limited fighting style, comparing them to video game tanks with one strong attack. He expressed dissatisfaction with the current state of the division, specifically naming Sergei Pavlovich, Derrick Lewis, Josh Hockitt, and Waldo as fighters who rely primarily on one powerful strike. Volkov stated he prefers to focus on improving as a complete mixed martial artist and learning new techniques. He emphasized that his motivation comes from love of the sport and self-improvement rather than just pursuing a title shot. The Russian heavyweight expressed frustration with repeatedly facing opponents who rely on single-strike power rather than well-rounded skill sets.
