At UFC London, Alexander Volkov earned the best win of his career by defeating former heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum via strikes in the fourth round. However, it wasn’t just the strikes that helped him gain the victory. In fact, it was the Russian’s grappling defense that enabled him to keep the jiu-jitsu world champion at bay, find his moment and finish the fight. Specifically, Volkov showed good guard retention and deep half escapes. In this episode of the podcast, I explain why those were key to his victory. It’s the Monday Morning Analyst with Luke Thomas.

That back take from Werdum was amazing.
this format is so much better
Someone needs to photoshop Colby hitting Werdum with a boomerang from Octagon side leading to the KO and caption it "Boomerang Revenge: What Goes Around Comes Around." ASAP.
I loved that fight because the boomerang bully got K.O'd

As a former labourer to a bricklayer, that is some terrible jointing on that wall.
Also, Marcelo Garcia is a beast but it's funny how so many amazing BJJ players, or fighters for that matter, aren't in the least intimidating. If someone saw Marcelo, They'd cockily think 'I could take the dad-bod', but good lord would they get crushed.
echoey AF 🙁
