The first UFC belt holder among Russians Oleg Taktarov shared his impressions of working as a second in a duel Alexandra Volkova in Las Vegas during UFC Fight Night 207, and also noted the fighter’s strengths.
On Saturday, Volkov defeated Surinamese Jairzinho Rozenstruik by first-round TKO after a series of punches. The fight took place as part of the UFC Fight Night 207 tournament.
– Were you glad that Volkov started kicking?
– In the locker room there were pads (paws for kicking. – “”) and the skin fell from them new ones. The walls shook.
People approach differently [к этому бою], with him it is necessary in a different way, because he questions almost everything. For a smart person it’s okay to question everything – but for a fighter it’s not so good. But we have found a line where there is less doubt.
– Did you try to wrestle with Alexandre during the warm-up?
– And in the warm-up, and the day before the fight. In the warm-up, I worked hard, we did all the elements that needed to be done. Volkov has a great fight, just great. I made a discovery for me. I haven’t seen him, but he has a great fight.
Who would you like to see him fight?
– If now he works for four months as he will, as agreed with the guys. And where agreed. I don’t want to announce it, he will tell everything himself … In general, then he can fight for the title. It doesn’t matter who, but it will be the same. Anyone can be taken, even if they lost to them, there will be exactly the same downgrade.
