Coach Mendez always answers the question directly and honestly. There's no dodging involved.

SIX UFC Champions directly under his tutelage: Frank, Cain, DC, Luke, Khabib and Islam. I'm not even counting BJ Penn who also trained with coach Jav for a bit. We are seeing one of the greatest MMA coaches and minds in the world, if not THE greatest. No doubt he should be inducted to the UFC Hall of Fame as a coach.

I cannot wait for the fight between Islam and Volk. Islam is the product of a lifetime of hard work and commitment. While Volk transitioned to fighting later in his career he has been training like a monster and he has a team dedicated to breaking down Islams strengths. Volk has spent close to a year specifically training for Islam. These are two of the best competitors with a will unmatched and we are going to witness what happens when two incredible forces collide. I cannot wait to see this competition at the highest caliber.

No-one in the UFC is going to beat Volk in terms of heart and grit and guts. But I just don't see the pathway to victory against Islam. Sure he's got a puncher's chance. But I don't think that Volk punches any harder than some of the beasts in LW...Gaethje, Oliviera, Poirier. And, surely, if we're talking about one of the largest LWs whose main game is man-handling, grappling, wrestling...then Volk's size and weight has to count against him...moreso against Islam than against any other fighter in the division.

Best in his division before Alex came around. Went up, fucked around, and found out against Jan who isn't even the best at light heavy. Point is. Volk has no chance of winning. Not a single ounce.

The ONLY way Volk can win this fight is to wrestle with Islam. It's not a question of if Islam can take him down. It's a matter of what can Volk do if it happens. Considering how tiny he is, weight definitely matters when it comes to grappling. Much more than it doesn't when striking. He couldn't possibly be good enough to wrestle with Islam even if they were the same skill. Zabit is an elite level grappler in the same division as Volk and even he was tossed around like a sack of potatoes against Islam.

My first pick for Coach Eugene

I’m also so happy to hear Islam will go to 170 pounds. I’d like Khabib, but I was upset. He never challenged himself. He always went against a striker. He never went up against a high level grappler. It’s not his fault there were none but that’s why he would need to go to 170 pounds to find out. so glad Islam will do it. A fight between him and someone like Covington. I think would be epic. Two best grapplers probably in the UFC. I would say Usman but I doubt he will fight Usman because they are buddies.
