Former Bellator heavyweight champion Vitaly Minakov told he was almost certainly confident of the Russian’s quick victory Alexandra Volkova against Australian Tai Tuivasa at UFC 293.
The heavyweight fight will be the co-main event of UFC 293, which takes place in Sydney on September 9.
— Volkov’s class and level are an order of magnitude higher than Tuivasa’s. Therefore, I will say right away: I am 99% sure that Volkov will win by knockout. Moreover, in the first rounds – in the first and second segments. Yes, Tuivasa is dangerous, but he is dangerous precisely because of his splashes. And Sasha very often does not see the so-called upskirt shots. This is why Tuivasa is dangerous. In addition, Volkov has bitter experience of defeats in fights in which he won by one wicket. I am sure that in this case Volkov will no longer prematurely put a medal on his neck. I think Sasha will be picked up, and in that case Volkov will win this fight without a doubt. When Sasha is completely calm, it is difficult to get close to him,” Minakov told .
Volkov has 36 wins and 10 losses in MMA, the Australian has recorded 14 wins and five losses.
