Dan: Francis is not going to land a Boxing PPV with Wilder, AJ or Fury in '23. Boxing an unknown will not generate the $ to justify what Francis wants to be paid. Meanwhile, PFL has lost momentum from the Ngannou free agent signing. Did you all collectively think this through??
I say it every time, if you love the UFC, there is nothing better than a Dan Hardy breakdown for a big fight. Maybe the fight itself is better....maybe
I keep doubting Volk not because he isn’t great but because his opponents are so good. After Islam I said I’d never doubt him again and here I am wondering how he’s gonna deal with Yair.
@@theguvnor3880 you’re not wrong but I think Yair has leveled up a lot. His strikes come from everywhere fast and on target. Super dangerous! I hope Volk wins but I’m concerned.
bro i respect that but i cant relate at all. for me its hard to believe that anyone in this division can beat volk as long as he is still hungry.. i wish us all a good fight to watch man
I donno why people don't mention how Volk's footwork is a level above every other elite fighter dude moves around flawlessly and quickly, it's like he's floating
This was a breakdown I was stoked to see but its probably the best and most impassioned breakdown yet! Let's hope a loss to Volk doesn't start a string of losses :-) bit seriously these are two of my favourite fighters in the UFC. I just feel Volk is to wise and cunning no matter what is thrown his way. He is cool as a cool customer.
I hate how we measure reach. I know they've same reach on paper but that reach counts shoulder width, which doesn't mean as much as arm length. So in reality Yair probably does have the longer reach when it comes to punches. Just wanted to get that out but its gonna be an awesome fight for sure!
Yair is getting clapped up. Trickery and unorthodox striking is literally bread and butter for Volk. He's seen it all, he's trained with it even more and he's gonna smother him and literally ground and pound Yair until it's over. I LOVE Yair and his style, but this is a stylistic mismatch despite everybody saying it'll be interesting, I see now path to victory for him.
It was unanimous dec. loss vs Makhachev, not split. Otherwise great insight as always. I've got Volk but Yair is rapidly improving between fights and you never know what he will bring out next. For all I know nobody should count him out unless he is asleep on the canvas.
Always love your breakdowns. One thing you didn't mention is Volk's high fight IQ to counter and capitalize, which I think is going to be a big factor in this fight because all the flashy stuff sometimes leaves Yair in vulnerable positions.
it's absolutely deadly how Yair's opponents try to counter his kicks and he immediately lands a straight punch while his leg is up in the air, and now that he's good off his back grabbing his leg is also not as much of an advantage unless its someone who's really really good from the top position
Dude this fight excites me! Rodriguez training in an ancient Aztec colluseum high above Sea level and yes Volkanovski is arguably the best MMA fighter today and tough as nails ! I really can't wait for this one! Thanks for the awesome breakdown as usual
Some reason I keep seeing Yair down Volk with a spinning back kick, but that activate berserk mode Volkanovski and he proceeds to takedown Yair then ground and pound him to oblivion. Very specific 😂😂
@@M3LuckyI can see that. Like shev verses Alexa grasso but if the spin kick actually clips volks liver. He has to fend off subs while he recovers but then puts a beating on Yair
@@sus425 well that's the thing we see - whenever Volk gets hurt or almost submitted it's like he gets a video game buff and extra strength and stamina 😆
13:10 straight through to the 15min mark is Dan Hardy being The Outlaw we love. Not just comment on techniques but an insight into how a fighters mind could work. DH is beyond platinum level. I have officially graduated this man to Welsh Gold. Keep it tight, treat life right and make love to the night🤟😁
Volk is a different animal than Josh Emmett, not taking anything away from Josh, he's as tough as they come. This fight is scary good for fans/gamblers. It's one I will stay away from. I wld love to see it go 5 rds😁
Show notes: Haven't made any comments on this since the microphone issue. On that note has been lush to see quality mics. Shadow on face, looks like a black eye. From left side up could be a thing. I'm sure you've talked about it. Shaddows suck unless we're going cinematic. "THE WAR ROOM" screen is mint. Mainly because I've watched for a while. Nothing happens on it now tho. So we have fighter bio/tale of the tape on the cut, sweet I want that full screen. Use the 'war room' screen for the shots of fighters doing the shit you're talking about. "Vulnerable to high kicks" and there it is on the tv/war room image without the cut shot to said image. We get Dan, we get the image. For me it flows better. Much love to whoever reads this. 🤟😁
Think it'll be the perfect mix of striking and clinching up against the fence for Volk, just systematically wearing him down, has to get close to Yair, see it being dicey for the first 2 maybe 3 rounds and then I think Volk's gas tank will just drown Yair over the rest of the rounds.
Volk is physically to strong. If he could handle the strength of makichev. He will dominate. He is now training alot more jiu-jitsu and wrestling. Volk to dominate.
Volk says in ALL of his training videos that Yair is the most dangerous fighter he’s ever fought and he’s expecting him to be better than he was in the Emmet fight. Not looking past him one bit.
Biased towards Yair here a little, in my opinion (although based on excellent points). Volkanovski has earned himself an X factor which hasn't been mentioned - he's a fucking animal of a human being in terms of grit and determination. Holloway took down Yair on several occasions, its likely that Volk can do similarly at points. The standup is compelling. But as an overall package, Volkanovski is the favourite.
The problem for volk is he dominates but generally to decision. Doubt he will finish yair which gives yair 5 rounds to land something crazy. He’s always dangerous. Either volk decision or yair getting dominated but catching volk with something crazy.
Can't catch Volk with that elbow cause he's too small. Yair gotta chance for a lucky kick . Best believe Volkanovski is too disciplined and calculated with every fight, i expect Volk to do alot of wrestling because of the respect for Yairs striking
Fundamentals win fights. Yair is explosive and unorthodox, but Volk is a well rounded, and well disciplined fighter. Makes better decisions. Volk just isn’t gonna give this shit away. The people Yair looked impressive in front of got smashed by Volk. Yair stood and went back and forth with Max for how many rounds? Volk pieced Max up for that same length of time.
You just tried to convince that Yair has an edge over Volks the Great, but Volks is a different breed he is truly a real game bred fighter, Yair is just not that an easy fight, but Volks gonna win comfortably.
I know MMA math isn't always solid ... And Yair can definitely cause an upset. But Volk and just as importantly , his team are soooo good at research and prep.. maybe even the best right now... Between Eugene and Joe Lopez CKB etc , they KNOW they're opponents well. I think Yair got a really durable Max Holloway and Holloway pulled away and got the win. Volk in his last fight out paced and out boxed Max ( beat him at his own game). Then challenged and nullified Islams wrestling ( thats insane!!!!) made him look human .. gave other fighters the confidence and blueprint on how to beat Islam in the future I think... I think Volk will beat Yair at his own game as well, not with flashy kicks etc ... But with pace and patience , picking his moments and (like Hardy said) frustrate Yair and ultimately get the win
Josh Emmett isn’t Volkadwarfski I love Josh but he’s much more static, he hits hard but he’s there to be hit, was a perfect fight for Rodriguez.. I think Volk punches holes in Rodriguez ankles and shins
Another great breakdown Dan I agree ...yair will have to hurt Volks legs early to slow him down otherwise how do you stop him Volk is an animal you cannot stop with endless cardio ...
It’s a dog eat dog world and Volk has bigger teeth than anyone in that division. I’ve doubted Volk too many times in past fights, I’ve learned my lesson. Never doubt Volk. Yair is amazing but Volk is just a different kind of beast altogether.
very one sided breakdown. But then again you gotta highlight the underdoogs strenghs and ways to win, since everybody already knows bald Volk will run through him. still, a strong bias in the breakdown & comments
Volk is a better fighter than yair. With that being said I fear volk will zig when he should have zagged and run into a knee or a head kick. Yairs leg dexterity also makes a triangle from bottom a very real threat. I fucking hate yair but he looked sensational vs Emmett. In my opinion this is the most dangerous fight in the division for Volk by a mile. If he gets past yair he's not losing for a very long time.
Volk beats Yair everywhere! Better striking, better wrestling, better cardio and way stronger! How many times does Volk have to prove he is the GOAT at FW?

Dan, You're the first one to make me consider playing RAID. After all these years this is the first time.
Yo Dan I hooe you fight one more time, you deserve a proper retirement party.
I'm not a fan of RSL, but I'm a fan of the Outlaw getting paid. I'll try it out.

I'm convinced this game is a shell company ain't no way they got money for all these ads. lol

Dan breaks downs just make it that much better I'll even watch the ones he does for fights I'm not interested in cause he just makes them interesting
The inside the octagon breakdowns were flawless.
Thanks Dan. I really hope that not a single judge has anything to do with the outcome of this matchup.
I keep doubting Volk not because he isn’t great but because his opponents are so good. After Islam I said I’d never doubt him again and here I am wondering how he’s gonna deal with Yair.
Same way he dealt with Max. Feints, footwork and discipline.

With ease is how he is going to deal with Yair
That's what makes him great. He always steps up.
Best at breaking down fights on TH-cam. Thanks for your expert knowledge dan 👍
I donno why people don't mention how Volk's footwork is a level above every other elite fighter
dude moves around flawlessly and quickly, it's like he's floating
It might be his greatest asset right? He's so threatening and pressuring with it. So quick.
This turned out to be very insightful. It was the difference in the fight.

Just wanted to get that out but its gonna be an awesome fight for sure!
also has to do roth stances and everything else

Such as idk, Volkanovski perhaps. Volk has a very good top game.

Dan is the best analyst out there🏆 I hope the fight will be just as exciting as Dan promises it to be.
I think ultimately, Volk will be too disciplined and intelligent for Yair. However, Yair is lethal and if he lands clean, he can take anyone out.
Some reason I keep seeing Yair down Volk with a spinning back kick, but that activate berserk mode Volkanovski and he proceeds to takedown Yair then ground and pound him to oblivion.
Very specific 😂😂
both clueless morons.

Oi Dan hardy? Where you at?
Can we get a dark room episode soon please? I really enjoyed those
People talk about Yair being dangerous with his legs which is understandable but volk footwork is the best I’ve seen tbh.. he floats like a butterfly.
I paused this midway and went back to watch Yair vs tkz again and I am back here to say that Volk will put a schooling on Yair coming fightnight
Think it'll be the perfect mix of striking and clinching up against the fence for Volk, just systematically wearing him down, has to get close to Yair, see it being dicey for the first 2 maybe 3 rounds and then I think Volk's gas tank will just drown Yair over the rest of the rounds.
Volk walks through him imo, light work
It’s finally here! Love the work Dan
A lot of people underestimate Yair. I think he gets it done. His versatility - especially with striking - is unparalleled. Thanks Dan!
No one is underestimating Yair, but he will NOT get anything done. He will lose in a one-sided fashion
As always, the best ! Cheers pal , ta!
Volk is physically to strong. If he could handle the strength of makichev. He will dominate. He is now training alot more jiu-jitsu and wrestling. Volk to dominate.
Never thought I’d be at the point in my mma fandom where I’m listening to Dan Hardy trying to sell me on Raid shadow legends
Such a great fight! I hope the breakdown I do comes close to this one!😂🔥👊
Wow Dan, u sold the shit out of 'call of the arbiter'. Props.
If yair plays the bottom game his head is going to get punched through the canvas haha
cant wait for this fight!!!!
is zabit still coming back?
Drop the Dricus vs Rob breakdown
Volk says in ALL of his training videos that Yair is the most dangerous fighter he’s ever fought and he’s expecting him to be better than he was in the Emmet fight. Not looking past him one bit.
Biased towards Yair here a little, in my opinion (although based on excellent points).

Holloway took down Yair on several occasions, its likely that Volk can do similarly at points.
The standup is compelling. But as an overall package, Volkanovski is the favourite.
I've always enjoyed watching you fight Dan.
Volk did say that in many ways this is his most dangerous fight ever so I don't think he's taking Yair lightly.
Are we pretending that zombie didn't rag Yair for 98% of the fight ?
Volk vs topria is a fight I want to see this will be good aswell though
They need to add a stat for how long did the average takedown last.
this did age well
This is my fight of year potential can’t wait for it Rodrigo’s from his last fight wins I believe
Wrong
Facts ez money yair putting him to sleep
The problem for volk is he dominates but generally to decision. Doubt he will finish yair which gives yair 5 rounds to land something crazy. He’s always dangerous. Either volk decision or yair getting dominated but catching volk with something crazy.
Can't catch Volk with that elbow cause he's too small. Yair gotta chance for a lucky kick . Best believe Volkanovski is too disciplined and calculated with every fight, i expect Volk to do alot of wrestling because of the respect for Yairs striking
Turned out to be true.
This is a mismatch. If max got beatup that bad, imagine whats gonna happen to yair
Yair is overhyped, I rekon Volks guna give a beat down. Easy win.
You know absolutely nothing about volk if you think he isn’t taking Yair seriously and hasn’t trained for Yair. He’s a champion for a reason 👊
Fundamentals win fights. Yair is explosive and unorthodox, but Volk is a well rounded, and well disciplined fighter. Makes better decisions.
Volk just isn’t gonna give this shit away. The people Yair looked impressive in front of got smashed by Volk. Yair stood and went back and forth with Max for how many rounds? Volk pieced Max up for that same length of time.
That's why a Yair loss is more impressive than a Volk' W
@@FilmsSaaveON is it though? Volk was pretty impressive last time out.
I really want to see Yair Vs Ilia
He will have to beat him twice. Volk will deserve a rematch no matter what
You just tried to convince that Yair has an edge over Volks the Great, but Volks is a different breed he is truly a real game bred fighter, Yair is just not that an easy fight, but Volks gonna win comfortably.
Im just here for the Raid Shadow Legends ad..
If it goes the distance it's Derek Cleary for the win!
I know MMA math isn't always solid ... And Yair can definitely cause an upset. But Volk and just as importantly , his team are soooo good at research and prep.. maybe even the best right now...

Excellent breakdown
I remember you used to include video tapes in each one of your breakdowns, what happened Dan? Did the UFC forbid you from using their content?
YO! What is Raid Shadow Legends marketing budget!? These mfers everywhere.
😂😂😂
thanks. as always.
but please, put the phone away. its unnecessary lighting up all the time.
At 3.3 to 1 betting odds, I’ll bet Yair all day
such a good fight, can't wait. Let's see if volk looks human this fight
R.I.P Yair Rodriguez.
Josh Emmett isn’t Volkadwarfski I love Josh but he’s much more static, he hits hard but he’s there to be hit, was a perfect fight for Rodriguez.. I think Volk punches holes in Rodriguez ankles and shins
Why can other channels use video, but you have to use still shots? You used to have video. What happened?
Dan looks super healthy. Inspires me.👍
Another great breakdown Dan
I agree ...yair will have to hurt Volks legs early to slow him down otherwise how do you stop him Volk is an animal you cannot stop with endless cardio ...
Guys can you recommend this show to your friends so he doesn't have to rely on pretending to like raid shadow legends
Being a right dweeb here:
17:15 to 17min 18seconds Dan dips off into a realm only a fighter can do. 1000 yard stare type of thing. Am I wrong?
Hey where's the Moreno vs Pantoja breakdown?
Can we please get a break down of Sean Brady v JDM?
Yair will have to come to Volk, not the other way around. Volk is the champ..
It’s a dog eat dog world and Volk has bigger teeth than anyone in that division. I’ve doubted Volk too many times in past fights, I’ve learned my lesson. Never doubt Volk. Yair is amazing but Volk is just a different kind of beast altogether.
Alex volk beats yair with the wrestling n ground n pound.
Volk is in a different class, and he'll prove it again in this fight.
Should we get dark room for Dustin vs Justin.?
Would love a Kevin Lee breakdown
Volk is just faster gets in and out point blank wouldnt try to oit point him strikeing either
I think this will be one of Volks toughest fights.
5:48 did Yair hook his toe and fingers in the fence for that submission?
Volk all day.
Yair basically lost against Zombie
Volks almost killed Zombie
Volk is going to do what Frankie edgar did to Yair
Volk won’t do 💩
Volk by another master-class! If Max can do it then Volk gonna do better 👑.
very one sided breakdown. But then again you gotta highlight the underdoogs strenghs and ways to win, since everybody already knows bald Volk will run through him.
still, a strong bias in the breakdown & comments
Volk is a better fighter than yair. With that being said I fear volk will zig when he should have zagged and run into a knee or a head kick. Yairs leg dexterity also makes a triangle from bottom a very real threat.
I fucking hate yair but he looked sensational vs Emmett. In my opinion this is the most dangerous fight in the division for Volk by a mile. If he gets past yair he's not losing for a very long time.
Oh yeah
Volk has blood diamond in his training camp, im sure hell be fine
Volk is going to smoke this guy. Probably.
video starts at 3:27
Even if volk looses he will get rematch and win if if he lost
Can we please get you on the JRE would love to hear you and joe chop it up and talk mma
Please do Whittaker vs DDP
Volk beats Yair everywhere! Better striking, better wrestling, better cardio and way stronger! How many times does Volk have to prove he is the GOAT at FW?
Man, I can see Yair hitting volk with something wild. Again, I can see volk just outclassing him the whole fight
