Dillashaw and Henry Cejudo very seldom have anything good to say about each other, however, Dillashaw broke this cycle when speaking about Cejudo on \u2018Submission Radio\u2019.

However, he would go on to admit that Volkanovski was a tough opponent in his own right, and would it would certainly be a close contest.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oWmLx_hI3u0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cCejudo\u2019s got good distance control. I mean obviously the wrestling and just the speed right. I think Volkanovski, he packs a punch but he\u2019s a lot faster than 45ers. His stature is just a little bit different. He\u2019s like a little ball of muscle.

In fact, Volkanovski\u2019s build puts him closer to that of a bantamweight, thus leaving the playing field somewhat even.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-390157 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image01-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image01-8.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image01-8-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image01-8-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image01-8-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Moreover, wrestling is sure to be a deciding factor in a match-up between evenly sized individuals and Henry Cejudo\u2019s wrestling is world-class, to say the least. He\u2019s able to utilize the space around him effectively, and also packs a fair amount of power in his punches.<\/p>\n<p>However, Volkanovski has made a habit of simply walking down his opponents and systematically making sure that he imposes his game plan. From range striking to using leg kicks effectively, Volkanovski is a terror once he gets going. One thing is for sure, this match-up is certainly one that has the fan base excited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>T.J.
