The compact powerhouse has an iron chin and only one gear - forward - but he’s also never been in the cage with someone as dynamic and technical as the reigning titleholder.
Volkanovski has been outstanding since arriving in the UFC, posting seven wins in as many starts while turning in dominant efforts against the likes of Mendes, Darren Elkins, Jeremy Kennedy and Shane Young. Having dispatched Mendes and added a unanimous decision win over Jose Aldo to extend his winning streak to 17, the former rugby man now gets his chance to challenge Holloway for the featherweight strap in Saturday’s co-main event. Heading into his bout with Chad Mendes last December, Volkanovski told me he wasn’t too happy with the talk about Holloway having no real challengers left at featherweight and potentially departing for lightweight because he felt he matched up well with the Hawaiian champion and looked forward to the day the two could share the cage with UFC gold hanging in the balance. With 25 minutes to work, there could very well be several shifts in momentum, and though it doesn’t necessarily profile as a rock’em sock’em, back-and-forth brawl, the bad blood between these two could cause one or both to stray from their usual strategies and take a few more risks in hopes of finishing the other and leaving no room to question their dominance. Given the similarities in styles and approach, it’s going to be really interesting to see which one of these two welterweight standouts ends up taking the lead and dictating the terms of engagement. The American Top Team representative’s brash, polarizing trash talk has helped increase his profile, but make no mistake about it: Covington is an exceptional talent and this should be a tremendous fight. Last time out, he claimed championship gold by completely dismantling Tyron Woodley, dragging “The Chosen One” to the canvas and suffocating him with the kind of relentless pressure and pace few can withstand and even fewer can match.īut Covington has thus far been one of those few, showing a similarly bottomless gas tank while racking up seven consecutive victories of his own, including back-to-back defeats of Rafael Dos Anjos and Robbie Lawler. Usman enters with a 10-0 record in the UFC and 14 consecutive victories overall. As a result, several fighters on this list needed to be adjusted and additional combatants added to reflect their new stats and skillsets.After a couple years of following similar trajectories and facing the same opponents, these two rivals will finally meet in the Octagon to decide who the best welterweight in the world is once and for all.

Updated January 13th, 2021 by Michael Llewellyn:Since its launch in August 2020, EA's UFC 4 has been the recipient of several patches and updates to improve gameplay mechanics, add fighters, and update existing fighter's statistics to match their real-life counterparts. As with the previous games, it’s very likely that new fighters will get added to the roster and statistics will get updated. It's always been one of the series' best features. However, it must be kept in mind these ratings are true at the time of this writing, and EA has always done a fantastic job of keeping the fighters up to date. RELATED: UFC 4: 10 Beginners Tips To Get You Started Even though the star rating system in-game gives every fighter in the game more than a puncher’s chance of a competitive fight, it’s hard to argue that the top ten are the best fighters in the game to choose from right now. Now that the rankings system is complete for UFC 4, EA has published their list of the ten best fighters in the game.
