Alex Volkanovski News
With his third victory against Max Holloway, Volkanovski solved all doubts about who is the best fighter in the featherweight category, even of all time. No fighter dominated the division as easily as Volkanovski. And he defeated the best fighters in the category, all famous names like Aldo, Young, Elkins, Mendes, Ortega, now it’s Yair’s turn.
He also had a trip to the lightweight category where he fought against champion Islam Makhachev and was very close to winning. However, the “gong” saved the Dagestani. Top performance by Volkanovski, who matched Makhachev both physically and conditionally, and it was the first time in his career that someone knocked down and held a dominant position against Makhachev.
Before his MMA career, Volk was involved in American football and freestyle wrestling, so it can be said that he gained his strength and endurance right there. His wrestling part is particularly good, where he non-stop presses the opponent to the wire, and when he gets into a clinch or takedown position, he achieves that takedown. Unlike many classic wrestlers, Volk has solid boxing and a big K.O. strength.
Physical strength, wrestling and the pressure applied by Volkanovski are the main advantages Volkanovski has in the matchup with Yair.

Yair Rodriguez News
Rodriguez achieved two big victories in the last two fights and became the interim featherweight champion. After losing to Holloway, he defeated Brian Ortega and Josh Emmet. Ortega was injured in the first round while Yair finished the tough Emmet very easily. Yair is known as one of the most attractive fighters in the UFC, and his strikes are always spectacular.
Yair is a taekwondo master, and his foot techniques are spectacular, he hit many of his opponents and finished them with flying knees. What is particularly memorable is his knockout in the last second of the match against Korean Zombi, with a spinning elbow. He is very dangerous in the stand and is difficult to take down. His movements allow him to use distance and guard changes to “cut” the opponent.
In this match, Yair will have to use his front hand much more, that is, directly, to start and slow down Volkanovski.

Alex Volkanovski vs Yair Rodriguez Prediction
Volkanovski is the big favorite in this match and we think he will win, but Volk is known as a fighter who does not rush but surely creates a position and collects points, and we expect another victory on points, as Volk is used to us.
