Rafael Dos Anjos expects Alexander Volkanovski to ‘shock the world’ at UFC284
"I disagree. I see Volkanovski with a real chance to surprise Islam,” he said. “The guy already weighed more than 200 pounds. I think he will shock the world on Saturday and win on points.”"It's important to note that Makhachev doesn’t use wrestling. His throws are basically from judo,’”dos Anjos said.
I did two camps to fight him and [Andre] Pederneiras brought a couple of top judo guys to help me. At the beginning of the camp I never took so many throws. By the end, when I evolved my defense, everything changed. I hope Volkanovski trained with judo guys. If he did, he has a great chance to avoid takedowns and dominate Islam on the feet with his speed.”
