There are quite a few heavyweights in Los Angeles, there are a lot more in Vegas now. The big plus is that there were a lot of fighters from the island of Samoa near Australia, guys of the same size, from the same origin as my opponent Tuivasa.
Arrived in Australia three weeks before the fight. I have been here for 2-2.5 weeks. I managed to acclimatize, – Volkov said on .
