Russian heavyweight fighter Alexander Volkov said he didn’t understand why he was left without a bonus after the fight against Australian Tai Tuivasa at the UFC 293 tournament.
Volkov defeated his opponent by strangulation in the second round, the fight took place in Sydney. The American Sean Strickland and the Australian Justin Tafa will receive a bonus of 50 thousand dollars for the best performance of the evening. The Angolan Manel Cape and the Brazilian Felipe dos Santos were also rewarded for the best fight of the evening.
— I don’t understand why I didn’t get a bonus today, probably all the fans in the comments think the same thing. It was my first starter in the UFC, a great performance. The opponent is an excellent drummer, the whole arena supported him, I don’t know why he didn’t get a bonus.
Do I practice this submission? No, but I know how to do it. I already tried to do the triangular choke, but it was a bit slippery, it didn’t work, he was ready.
I was surprised, Tuivasa is a strong fighter, he missed so many strong punches, but he stayed on his feet and continued the fight. “He was dangerous throughout the fight,” Volkov said at a press conference.
Volkov has 37 wins and 10 losses in mixed martial arts.
