Cejudos brother is really smart in correcting Cejudos approach to some of those front headlock positions. The reason to move slower in some spots is you you reduce your opponents openings to create separation. You wanna stay heavy on them and controlled. He changed his wrestling for the DJ fight and never really changed that wrestling approach too much. Will be interesting to see if this makes a difference against Merab.

Ok, these countdowns are getting LEGIT in their production quality. :) Nice work team!

This is my exact same sentiment. I'm a huge, huge Volk's fan, but Ilia's speed man... my goodness. Fast hands, knockout power, and amazing take down defence. The kid has been grappling since his teenage years. The fact that Ilia prefers standing to strike now is an indication of how well-rounded he is. In the fight against Yair, I honestly believed Yair had the striking edge over Volk on the feet if he could keep his distance and keep his emotions in check. But Volk nullified that advantage by closing the distance and taking him to the ground. Ilia is as dangerous on the ground as he is on the feet. And his boxing technique? Speed? Energy conservation? Lol. If Volk wins this one, it would be by the skin of his teeth.

Everyone looks impressive when they’re training
lookin like 298 and 299 are more stacked than 300 n after jones' last fight I can't believe Uncle Dana thinks his next fight will be a UFC 300 caliber fight...
A ufc card doesn't get any better than this😭🔥
BEST OF LUCK TOPURIA - YOU ARE UNSTOPPABLE- DESTINED TO BE GREAT-!!!!🥊💤🥊
If you're smart enough not winning is never a loss its a learning experience a win win situation 😊

He’s been rushed to the title shot. Volk will school him. Won’t be pretty.

The Emmett fight was brutal but he's also getting fast tracked. Should have had one more fight before a title fight.

@@Palaecro agreed. Would love to see him up against Holloway or Rodriguez, that would of been the perfect litmus test before volk
