Masterclass: Outstrike Taller Opponents - Alex Volkanovski Highlights / Film Study (2022)

Alexander Volkanovski is currently the P4P #1 ranked fighter in the UFC after defeating Korean Zombie, Brian Ortega, and Max Holloway (again) and is arguably the GOAT featherweight. His last three fights were a masterclass in how to beat taller opponents on the feet.

In this video, I analyze these fights and extract a set of principles to follow to help shorter fighters develop their style.

These principles are:
1) Be the controlling distance.
2) Attack the closest target first (leg kicks).
3) Understand your mechanical advantages.
4) Be patient, feint often.
5) When openings present themselves, attack ruthlessly.

Do you think he has a chance against Islam Makhachev? Let me know in the comments.
