Prediction for the fight Alexander Volkov vs Cyril Gan

Alexander Volkov returns to the confrontation with Cyril Gane after 3 years. They will fight on December 8, at the numbered tournament UFC310 in Las Vegas. The last fight was held in the format of 5 rounds, but now the heavyweights will have only 15 minutes to decide on the next leader of the title race.

Alexander Volkov vs Cyril Gan

Cyril Gan

"The Good Guy" has secured the 2nd spot in the rankings. He is a basic kickboxer and Thai, AFMT champion, former interim UFC champion, and also the TKO league title holder. In his last fights, he has a 2-2 record, losing to Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou, but he dealt with Tai Tuivasa and Sergey Spivak ahead of schedule.

In the previous fight, he had success due to better endurance, excellent mobility and accuracy. If Volkov struck and stagnated, immediately running into counterattacks, then Gan, with each new round, defended himself better, striking punches and kicks, and immediately breaking the distance, or blocked them, adding a pendulum.

The methodical nature of such attacks, pressure and the opponent tied in a clinch in time brought him victory. Actually, in the upcoming fight, taking into account the presence of not 5 but 3 rounds, the dynamics of the meeting will be even higher, and here Cyril has all the trump cards, since his defense indicators, with an identical work rate, are better.

Alexander Volkov

"Drago" is just one position lower. Alexander was the M-1 champion, won the Grand Prix of this organization, and also won the competition of the same format in Bellator twice. He was the best in karate competitions many times, moreover, in various sections, and is currently on a series of 4 victories in the UFC, the last of which he won in fights against Sergey Pavlovich and Tai Tuivasa.

Judging by the last fight with Pavlovich, Alexander demonstrated a noticeable increase in the quality of defense, worked on footwork, and most importantly - a sense of distance. Previously, he did not use the length of his limbs in the best way, often stopped after attacks, but here, all these mistakes were worked out and, hopefully, their improvement will continue.

In a three-round match, it is critical for "Drago" to maintain high speeds and not let Gan in with his doubles and kicks. Mobility will also help solve a number of problems, and if you include close combat, at least occasionally, then the fight will be as close as possible. The main thing is not to get too many punches to the body, and then in the 3rd round the Frenchman's superiority will not be so obvious.

Alexander Volkov vs Cyril Gan Prediction

Both athletes are not famous for a single knockout punch, and their last meeting showed that it is unlikely that they will have to hope for a bright knockout. But the fight will not become less dynamic, on the contrary, but the guys are so equal, at least in their current form, that it is risky to bet on someone in particular, with all due respect to Gan's talent. But betting on the duration of the meeting, and that it will go the full distance, is perhaps the most attractive. Download 1xbet to your phone and place a bet on the favorite!
