And where is Volk going to find anyone to mimic elite Dagestani wrestling to train against? And, as Khabib said, it doesn't even matter if Volk does find someone, and trains against them every day for months until the fight. Because Islam has been doing that daily for over 20 years.

    Really interesting match up, it's a shame Volk is not in the same weight class naturally cause he's stronger and more technical than anyone in his division, while Makhachev is clearly physically the strongest in his division and also technically very well rounded. I think people under appreciate just how technical and versatile Volk's striking is mixed in with the natural power, not too dissimilar to his countryman in Whittaker, versatile, strong, technical, killer mentality. Ultimately though this will come down to strength and how good Volk's take down defence is to allow him to fight with Makh on his feet for as long as he can. He needs to either stuff multiple take downs or catch him when he's diving in and capitalize big time.

Began training MMA at age 23. He competed in multiple amateur fights in the middleweight division as he adjusted from his rugby weight before turning professional and moving down to welterweight, lightweight and ultimately the featherweight division.

    if you think about it, lightweight is only 10 lbs different than featherweight. it is a different jump than 205 LHW to 265 HW. That being said, islam by RNC
