The way to beat Wladimir is a process with many steps. Make him move constantly, initiate clinches only to break them early and punch on the way out, use angles, work the body specifically the ribs under the left arm to attempt to stymie his jab. If he leans on you just give way, no use in fighting against his weight, plus it won't be ruled a knockdown unless he hits you on the way down.

A lot of fighters seem to want to make Wlad reach and miss, but the issue with that is (especially if Wlad's using his jab) Wlad will half punch the jab, paw with it, leaving his arm partially extended and from that position he can and does land full power jabs when he believes he's in better range and when his opponents think they are just out of range. It's almost like in ice hockey with a poke check, sometimes a defenseman will give a forward a little room by pulling his stick back a bit, and when the forward gets too comfortable , BANG! The defenseman shoots the stick at the puck and causes a turnover. It's the same concept Wlad utilizes with his jab.
