Yair Rodriguez is certain Alexander Volkanovski has yet to face someone like him – and he’s unsurprised.
Despite his vast experience and long tenure as UFC featherweight champion, Volkanovski (25-2 MMA, 12-1 UFC) hasn’t come across anyone similar to his style, according to Rodriguez (16-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC). And Saturday, in the main event of UFC 290 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, it’ll be the first time Volkanovski fights someone with the level of unpredictability that “El Pantera” brings to the cage.
It is that precisely that which gives Rodriguez an edge over the rest of the featherweights who have tried and failed to take the belt from Volkanovski.
