Sean strict land too but Volk isn’t very basic lol. Being good at 2 stances and constantly switching isn’t a basic fighting style. Not to mention his wrestling. So I don’t agree
I remember after a successful title defense, and he said basically, "There's nothing special about me, I put in the work." That quote always resonated with me and I try to apply that attitude to my own life
Volk's style is not even close to basic. I won't blame you though, I thought the same at first, but when you watch him closely, you can see how he has a unique style thats nightmare for taller opponents who can't kick well, Volk constantly switch stance, leg kicks from weird angles and finds different angles to jump towards his opponent with combinations or he counters it if his opponents comes to him. Only way to counter for tall opponents good kicking from distance and good wrestling. Yair could kick well but then Volk used his wrestling and Yair couldn't match Volk's superior grappling, Volk showed he is a very versatile fighter, not basic, not only striker he can also wrestle, he was called ''Hulk'' in Australia.
I won’t say basic but he definitely isn’t doing anything unnecessary, overly flashy or inefficient. Not relying on tricks either. I would just called it efficient, merciless and effective
Ilia will probably try to wrestle Yair as well. The blueprint is out there to beat Yair; wrestle and don't give him space to use his kicks on the feet, or to use his BJJ on the ground.
@@Robert399 He does have good wrestling yes. But I do question whether he can takedown Volk, let alone consistently because Volk's TDD has improved tenfold in recent years.
@@madgavin7568 I agree that's the way for him to win, although I do think that Ilia, the kind of person that he is, will spend the early minutes of the fight wanting to just strike with Yair because he'd probably want to beat him at his own game to prove he's better. If he fails to knock Yair out or when he feels like he's behind on the scorecards, then that's when he'll wrestle him.
@5:43 this takedown was actually insane. He anticipates Yair kicking a second time, kicks his planted left leg, grabs the right, and pulls him in. That was so clean.
@@cornell833 The fact that you think that fight will go the distance, tells us you don’t know what you’re talking about. You should actually watch the full card on Saturday and not the highlights the day after. Heavy on the glaze 😂
I'm always so impressed with how active Volk is with his ground and pound. He floats himself over the opponent and raining down all types of shots. It's crazy how many people don't utilize ground and pound in a effective manner
@@vn5774 kicks..maybe fear of takedowns like vs islam may limit that Footwork...1 Feints...volk no power . Aftee walking down emmit ilia wilk do same Fight iq...2 Selection..same as iq Cardio.. wont go 5 rounds..ilia power controls fight he can rest when he wants Strength.. not sure Experience..same as iq Wrestling..not sure plus ilia ground game i expect its even Sub defense..again its even only advantage is if ilia rocks volk So he has iq and footwork lol. Smart decisions and dancing around. Other than that ilia walks him down and volk fighting for his life dancing around. Lol
@@xavierb9061 😂 You're like barely literate, my guy. This "analysis" of yours was laughable and shows you don't understand the sport. Pipe down, casual.
Man I've always believed that Mighty Mouse has one of the best if not the best fighter IQ Volk, obviously right up there. If you two got together for like a video and trained / did a seminar, it would be absolutely legendary. I could only imagine the two best minds of mma getting together and having a fun spar, I felt similar to seeing MM training with Henry.
This was a great 'Cat crosses the void and climbs chair' video. Who was that guy sat in the chair trying to act like he knows about MMA? - :) Please, more cat interruptions Mighty!
@@rajyavardhansingh4491 when DJ breaks down fights, he usually refers to the distance between two fighters as “the void.” It’s basically his way of explaining distance management.
Différence is, Yair doesn t engage in power punching exchanges, for Ilia, it s all he asks for. Excited fir this match up and to see strategies from both these guys. Lets go Ilia !😊
You can see why Ilia really, REALLY fancies his chances. He doesn't play the distance game, doesn't go backwards. But Volk is such a powerful nugget... just forces his physical will on his opponents. Styles do make fights. Should be dynamic AF.
With a win on Saturday, Volk defeats two opponents: Topuria and Father Time. If he emerges triumphant, there will be no doubt. Volk will cement his legacy as the greatest martial artist to EVER live. Respect and admiration for his beautiful body and overall game.
at 2:25 your theory southpaw orthodox i believe is wrong what he is doing is changing position's from back leg to front leg tranfer of his weight when he does that he can be throwing a straight cross off of it or a kick with the right leg of course right before he had his weight on his back leg then threw the left leg kick but thats one thing topuria is really good at is always changing positions when crossing the line
To a seasoned fighter at the highest level like you and volk if u have already faced an someone before how hard is it to fight them on short notice like volk did with Islam? Would it be mainly a cardiovascular thing or is a full training camp really the difference maker when there both at the highest level so skill levels elite ? I love the way Ur breaking down fights in such a beautiful etiquette way thanks for all the content keep up the greatness goat 🐐 🙌 🙏
Why do all these Twitch game streamers suddenly want to break down fights? It seems like there's always new ones being pushed by the algorithm. Come on guys... stay in your lane and talk about what you know, "gaming." Leave the fight stuff to the professionals.
There seems to be a popular sentiment the Illia is just going to walk through Volky. Maybe because Volk is getting up there in age combined with losing his last fight. I just don't think Illia can do anything that Volk hasn't seen or been in the cage with. Illia's a great fighter but Volk is just different, man. Takes care of himself, disciplined, works SUPER hard, studies and game plans, makes adjustments mid fight, has power, great technique, is tough as Fuggin nails, is dangerous anywhere, and his mental game is on point. Not saying Illia has no chance or can't win. Obviously in MMA anything can and will happen. Just hope Illia isn't overestimating himself or underestimating his opponent. Would rather see a great fight then a 1 sided beatdown
It a relief to find an expert giving an analisis, instead of an expert speaking as a fan. Thank you Demetrious Johnson.
That part!
The knowledge and commentary for these breakdowns are unmatched. I learn multiple things to implement into my training everytime. Thank you!
Could not concur more
void breakdown within 3 minutes, this is going to be a good one
real asf
You made me laugh out loud before the video started.
Masterful comment
Within 30
Volk is a perfect example of how effective mastering the basics is in mma and anything in life.

Mighty has been killing it this week
I have learned so much more about MMA from this channel in the past year. It makes watching the fights much more fun. Really excited for this fight!
One of the best to ever do it i hope i can be a dangerous striker like you one day
He will not keep the belt watch Saturday that fight also goes distance there's and the new 🏆 of the 🌎

Love it when you breakdown the void, it feels like the most important and also the hardest part of striking
Mighty Mouse is damn good at these videos. Keep up the great work brother. It helps us MMA fans understand the fight game.

great video!! i would love to see a collab between you and volk.
Imagine cooking with volk and mighty mouse 😂 that would be cool
The long breakdowns are great, I’d watch a whole stream of you just breaking down fights lol
If the Volk who fought Max 3 and Yair turns up (no reason he shouldn't) I'm feeling like we might be in for a major clinic
Means nothing topuria has ko power. Volk fights like he did he gets koed. He will use new strategy

Always great to see Volk fighting -- even more amazing with commentary from DJ
you have the best breakdowns i’ve seen mighty i love your videos and always tune in to see your combat knowledge ❤🙏🏼
11:38 did the cat just climb up the side and down the chair without DJ even noticing 😂 atleast he didn’t acknowledge it
It must be such a nightmare having Volk on top of you like that. He's such an active fighter.

Love these breakdown videos
Volk is too damn good that is crazy he renembers me of some old flyweight champ with 11 title defenses 😁
What was that?
That press conference by Volk is some of the best stuff ive ever seen 😂
This is a real fight breakdown 💯
18:30 i dont know why , but the music feats so well with that part
Nothing better than being on ur lunch at work and a mighty mouse breakdown pops up.
That’s me right now lol
The Legend DJ with the humble insights of how champions fight 🙏🏻
yeah finally!! i was waiting for this video
Best commentary going!!! Peace from Canada 🇨🇦!!+
Mighty your breakdowns are the best. Rather your experience or don't even know how to fight everybody can learn from your breakdown vids.

Awesome vid💪🔥🔥

Your the reason i plan on being a professional in this sport truly you are a master of the craft!!
Chaaaaamp🎶 Great analysis, looks like people have just forgot. I mean what I see in other posts on IG and so on.
GREAT BREAKDOWN AS USUAL !
Nice one DJ 👏🏾👏🏾
I love your channel brother I watch all your grappling Videos and old fights with my buddies and while in the wrestling room this fight was great
Head kicked ripple effect gonna last longer than I thought 😂
nice breakdown ty
Gotta subscribe to mighty mouse.... cant think of a better person to break down fights.... love how intense these fighters can be too...

The 🐈⬛ almost got MM’s back from mount at 11:29
that finishing sequence was so good
It's hard not to factor in that ko loss recently. And it was Real recent. Wish he would have waited a little longer.
The analogy of the void is so good. It made me so much better in sparring.
What analogy?

Thanks MM, Big fan
Really enjoyed this one. Hadn't seen this fight before
How? Don't u watch big UFC ppv's? Aren't u a MMA fan?

We don’t know much about martial artists from hundreds or thousands of years ago though 🤔 so greatest ever? Idk.
35 isn't old yet.
the cat at 11:34 🤭😂
HE’S A VOLKAN FOR A REASON 😝 but this will be a banger that can go either way. 😮
I knew one thing going into this video.
It wasn't going to be sponsored by Keeps.
When volk does actually retire I’d like to see him get in to competitive chess. I feel like his mind could do great things on a chess board
Look at the nod Illia gave at the end of the fight, as if to say "yeah i can attest to the fact that Volk is that good damn!!"
The Breakdown Goat.
I can't wait to see your 'Queens Of Combat Sports, The GWOATS interview...

How would you fight Volkanovski? and would you ever be interested to fight him?
Yo Mighty, any chance you can make you little on screen mouse thing blink less? I draws my attention to it every time it blinks 🙈
At the end of the sponsor presentation, did you control the music or did the music control you?
Hey DJ, I really want to get into combat sports where do you think I should start?
The blinking mouse icon up top is fuckin sickkkkk
skin lookin' so smoooooth so radiannnt in that ad brother skin care is drip wear brutha xox
I would love to see DJ and Volk in a room just to see them talk strategy and technique
UFC dont take this video down 'case they know that DJ are the 🐐 in MMA.
i like how DJ was coaching Yair by the 3rd round
I would be nothing without the knowledge of the void 🙌🏾
Will you do a live broadcast commenting on the fight?
This is one of my favorite finishes, really shows how complete volk is.
I was like “is that a cat? That is a cat.”
Anyone else say pause when dj said loovvvvveee my epic pen 😂😂

Volk's ability to make opponents feel lost is unmatched. IIlia hasn't been in there with anyone like him and is in for a shock imho.
this show should be called crossing the void or something at this point
Welcome back to.. Crossing The Void !
