- 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.

Alexander Volkanovski Highlights
Amazing video. I especially appreciated you mentioning body mechanics as it is an aspect of sports that is rarely given mention.
Volkanovski is such a weird fighter because on the surface everything he does seems so simple even when you understand his game. But once you really delve deep into him as a fighter (which you have done here) you see the true brilliance, mastery and I.Q. behind his game.
Pop
I wasnt a believer until the 3rd holloway fight.
Hope he becomes double champ
volkonskis my faveourite fighter rn and i really want him to do enough to be considered the featherweight goat
I think it's arguable he is the FW GOAT already but a few more defenses would lock it in.
He is the only person he has not fought that was considered top tier is fw Conor but that will never happen
I think one more dominant defense and he’s the fw goat
@@coater2281 imagine he dominates yair next, and then dominates someone like allen or topuria, he would be the only guy to convincinly beat 3 generations of fighters at a championship level
@@josemeneses5173 I just don't see the contenders winning against Volk, he's so damn good like wtf
The ultimate martial artist. Perfect balance, speed and power combined with a stellar fight IQ, a granite chin, technical brilliance, and an iron will.
Privilege to watch him operate 🙏
and infinite cardio
Chin got cracked unfortunately 😢
Yoel romero and marvin vettori and dan hooker would like to disagree with u@mmaenjoyer
Dude I absolutely love your videos! Especially your film study videos. They are incredibly insightful and game changing. Thank you 🙏🏻
Wow, you did a great job with this. Everything, the music, the selection of combinations to highlight volk tactics and strategy. Very crisp and clean, loved every second of it
so glad I found this channel, keep up the great work bro
You’re breakdowns are top tier amazing. Please keep more coming.
Thank you! More coming soon.
No matter how good Yair is Volk is going to figure him out and punish him this guys fight IQ is next level.
Guy's a savage man but a savage with great technique and movement and his condition supports his power and speed.
Very good video man! Is it posible that you make more break downs about shorter fighters getting the upper hand against taller fighters? Would be very interesting.
Great analysis, thank you very much
Really good quality videos.The music also is so beautiful.Keep doing great work!!!
Thank you! Appreciate the love
Thank you wonderful video, really helpful and well explained!
just watched your video on archetypes, then this one, awesome videos, you got yourself a new suscriber today man
Hell yeah. Thanks brother
Nice analysis!
Great video. Thanks a lot
As an ex boxer... we were well aware of the mechanical advantage of punching "up".
This video is straight gold 🔥I'm definitely gonna subscribe
Much appreciated brother
Volk's so good in distance management that if he have more power he would be koeing everyone he fights. And Ortega made some great adjustments in their fight. That also led him to almost finishing Volk. The talent in Featherweight is just too much. That's why I believe he's pound for pound.
took a whole bunch of notes on this.
Respect 🙏
Let’s not forget Volk also has a longer reach than all these guys . He might be shorter but he has the reach advantage. If you are like Artem Lobov this won’t work .
As a short fighter bro this helps so much ❤❤❤
That's crazy
Volkanovski is GOAT
The Great Macedonian Master Alexander!
Another tip of him controlling distance/range is he uses that lead hand a lot to figure out where he can throw from. All these fighters in the video are great it was hard to see him beat on the TKZ, Zombie got screwed serving that military service in his prime.
I would love to see your analysis of Islam vs volk title fight!
Superb work ...! 👍👍💥
Please do a breakdown video of Stipe Miocic’s Boxing
What's interesting here is Volk has a giant reach despite being shorter than most of his opponents he has a longer reach than Max Holloway for example. Wonder how the biomechanics of two fighters with different heights but identical reaches would compare.
Although I love the video. It's important to note that volk isn't the "shorter fighter" the way you think. He's got shorter legs and torso yes, but his arm lenght is actually quite large, longer than even Holloway who stood at 4 inches higher than him.
This means that most of the shorter vs taller strategies don't apply to him because he doesn't have a reach "disadvantage" necessitating him to get in close to use a short limb "advantage".
Still though all your points are 100% true and good to think about!!
Actually has a similar torso length or longer than most fighters he's fighting. Short legs. Certainly his arms are not short though...but they're not as long as his reach suggests. Much of his wingspan is attributable to abnormally wide shoulders, which are arguably the greatest mechanical advantage that exists in MMA
He doesnt have long arms if anything its average for his height but what he does have is an abnormally large shoulder and frame. Also when you have to face guys 4-5 inches taller you have to raise your arms up to touch their head which also decreases your reach.
You bring up the part about having shorter limbs yet Volkanovski almost always has a longer reach if not always.
Do one on on new champ Pereira🎉
Soon. Working on Zabit this week
damn striker small yet terrible amazing performance you got my sympathy brother volkanovski..anyone who would accross will surely taste a bloody bitter defeat..I bet..good luck man👌👍✊👊🤲
awesome video!!
but dont be fooled this mans reach is insane lol
I think Volkanovski is jumping in the deep end going to 155lbs these days. *Especially starting with Makhachev. I believe the level of danger he faced at 145lbs has been rather weak, when compared to the talent at 155lbs. i.e. Oliveira/Gaethje/Chandler/Poirier etc vs. Ortega/Holloway/Zombie etc
The reason why volk could outstrike the taller opponents bcoz he has such have reach advantage, with that long frame he could control distance very well, and implemented striking with a good measure. Sometimes taller doesn't mean you good in fighting, but it's really about arm and shoulder length
If you think that's the only reason he outstrikes taller opponent's you're missing 99% of what makes him a champ.
@@ssootho he do know his physical advantage, but the most evidence criteria on UFC fighters become a champs, is bcoz most pf them have higher reach advantages, just look at jon jones, izzy, perreira, usman, leon edward, volk and sterling

Robbie lawler
Khabib
Islam
DC
Frankie Edgar
Cody garbrandt
Petr yan
All champions with the opposite attributes of what you said. Anyone can cherry pick things and say it's an ultimate advantage. The truth is that it's about how you use your advantage.
@@mainvillain8463 His reach is long because of his wide torso not long arms. He has average arm length. And once you have to reach up to touch your opponent you lose your reach.
Idunno if he's gonna beat islam, but I think he has a better chance than anyone else islam might possibly fight
Brian Ortega doesn't count cus he can't box
Amazing video! I'd love to see a video like this on Ciryl Gane.
Good call! Working on a couple others already but will do Gane soon
@@ssootho Great, I can't wait🥰
