Russian UFC fighter Alexander Volkov spoke about the desire to fight with the representative of Brazil Jailton Almeida.
Volkov has 36 wins and 10 losses in his MMA career. The Russian sits seventh in the UFC heavyweight rankings. Almeida has 19 wins and 2 losses to his name.
– Almeida had his last fight with Rozenstruik, which I also won earlier than expected. He fought well with him, winning by choke. He was popular and I wanted to fight him. Also, I had fought many of the top fighters before, and Almeida was a new and logical option.
Almeida has won several fights by submission and choke, but only because he bets on it. Few have experienced it while standing among these fighters who defend well against leg passes. I wonder what he will do if he fails to transfer to the ground and has to stand. So far there are a lot of questions for him in this regard and it is difficult to understand what he is, – quotes Volkov Metaratings.ru .
Volkov will face Australian Tai Tuivasa on Sept. 10 at UFC 293 in Sydney. Watch the live broadcast on Sunday from 5:00 p.m. (Moscow time) on the “” channel, “Match! Fighter” will broadcast the tournament starting at 1:30 (Moscow time).
