Prime Picks: UFC 284 ‘Makhachev vs. Volkanovski’

Prime Picks: UFC284 ‘Makhachev vs. Volkanovski’ via jaypettry

Seemingly out of nowhere, a veritable superfight has materialized in front of our very eyes. The promotion lists these two competitors as the No. 1 and No. 2 pound-for-pound fighters; Sherdog disagrees, with Volkanovski in the top spot and Makhachev gunning for him at No. 4. To have the Dagestan native ranked lower is not a slight on his abilities but rather a serious review on who exactly he has been defeating on the way up.

Despite the vast improvements the newly minted 155-pound champ has made on the feet, he should still be miles behind Volkanovski in that arena. “Alexander The Great” has no issue reaching taller or longer opponents, with quick in-and-out movement and a never-ending assault of leg kicks. Makhachev did great work his last time out against, but he faces a far more polished striker in this match. Getting Volkanovski down and keeping him there will be paramount to Makhachev’s success.
