Taras Kiyashko, coach Alexandra Volkova commented on the victory of the Russian fighter over Jairzinho Rozenstrukom at UFC Fight Night 207
– While we were talking, Alexander said in a press conference that even from the fight between Rozenstruik and Ngannou, he realized that Rozenstruik was uncomfortable when he was attacked. And who in training camp noticed that detail?
– The entire coaching staff went through many of Rozenstruik’s fights and from day one they started to come up with a fight plan. Probably, everyone together noticed that it was necessary to go ahead and put the pressure on. Maybe even Sasha himself said that you have to put pressure on him first, because Jairzinho doesn’t feel very good in such moments.
– Maxim Dedik joined your team before this fight. I would like to joke that he was the first of several thousand people to convince Alexander to kick more often.
– So be it.
– Seriously, Alexander said that the leg is quite easy to hurt on impact. Could it be that Maxim, as an elite karateka, changed something in kicking technique?
– Max is not with us at the first training, we had a contact, a communication, and Alexandre heard it. Probably, Max influenced Sasha to the side that he became more relaxed, more relaxed. I started kicking more often and not worrying that something might fly in response. There was lightness. A lot of time was spent on footwork, and it worked.
Alexander Volkov (35 wins, 10 losses) won by technical knockout in the first round of a five-round fight.
