Saud is an excellent video analyzer. Absolutely the best breakdown of film I have ever seen. I thought, well I get some of this breakdown. I was riveted, jaw hanging for the whole breakdown. The absolute best I have ever seen. This Sayif Saud is the best I have ever seen.

Any young fighter getting into MMA should study Yair Rodriguez. His all round game is so well balanced and he is a fantastic martial artist. His style isn’t quite as unorthodox as it first seems, it’s just a finely tuned unique style but super tricky for any opponent. Great fighter.

@@Chris-e9y4e it sure is. Some people are just naturally bendy people but you’re right, to maintain those kinds of kicks and aerial attacks stretching is a massive part of training, more so in his warm up routine I’d imagine. It’s going to be a banger this fight.

He's now giving "your SOCCER kicks" some added extra momentum to which will help "said kick" to KO Yair easier!!

Styles make fights. Yair got the style with long kicks and very good off his back but does he have it in the trenches. Punching range, grappling dimension is the big question mark. Eventually Volk got what it takes to block and close distance. He not going to be intimidated by standing static taking kicks for too long. Fascinating match up. Excellent bet to risk on Yair. He will be the underdog. Yair a straight up Ninja. Nobody can pull the stuff he does. I know someone else like that. Outlier

@@Merguez1900 no yair has two rounds that’s it. Anything longer plays into volks hands. Volk is too strong, too smart, too technical and has a bugger gas tank. The longer it goes it’s just going to be a long night for yair. Yair has only the kick as his main weapon. Volk will shut that down easily
