Quick read

Alexander Volkov has criticized many heavyweight fighters for their limited fighting styles. He compared them to tanks in video games that rely on a single powerful strike that does a lot of damage. Volkov expressed his preference for mixed martial arts that involves constant improvement and trying different techniques. He specifically mentioned fighters like Sergei Pavlovich, Derrick Lewis, Jailton Almeida, and Robelis Despaigne as examples of heavyweights who rely too heavily on one powerful punch. Volkov emphasized that he focuses on becoming a better overall fighter rather than just pursuing title shots, stating that learning new skills is what he loves about the sport.
