Russian Mixed Martial Artist (MMA) Alexander Emelianenko praised the actions of a compatriot Alexandra Volkova in a fight with Surinamese Jairzinho Rozenstruik and said that after a successful fight Volkov could qualify for a title fight.
Volkov defeated Surinamese Jairzinho Rozenstruik by TKO in the first round of UFC Fight Night 207 in Las Vegas on Saturday. Prior to that, Volkov had lost to Britain’s Tom Aspinall in the first round in March, and prior to meeting Rozenstruik he was ranked seventh in the heavyweight rankings.
– It was clear that Sasha even came out with a different attitude to the fight. I don’t know what influenced him… The absence of the old team or the presence of new people like Oleg Taktarov. But the mood was good. Tactically I had the right fight, two precise straights did their job. I don’t consider stopping early, it’s a heavy hitter – every extra hit can cause significant health damage. If Sasha, with such an attitude and fire in his eyes, holds the next fight and wins the same, you have to fight for the title, which he may well win,” Emelianenko told .
