In May, Alexander scored his first victory since February 2022, defeating blogger Evgeny Ershov ahead of schedule in an MMA fight.

But, in my opinion, it is too early to talk about the idea of a rematch with Vyacheslav Datsik. Although their second fight under MMA rules would really attract huge attention from the public, Burchak told .
