Moldovan heavyweight Alexander Romanov in an interview with , the Russian believes Alexandra Volkova a slight favorite in the fight with Sergei Pavlovich.
Heavyweights Volkov and Pavlovich, who were previously training partners, will fight at the UFC tournament in Saudi Arabia on June 22. Romanov, who lost to Volkov in 2023, will take part in UFC 302 in Newark (USA), where his opponent will be Brazilian Gilton Almeida.
— You fought with Alexander Volkov and certainly saw Sergei Pavlovich’s fights. What do you think of their fight?
“It was very difficult for me to accept that these guys were still fighting. Because they trained together for a long time. But as they say in America, it’s just business. I don’t know, they’re two completely different stylistic fighters. For some reason, Seryoga did not show his wrestling in the UFC at all. For me it’s an interesting fight, but it’s not very enjoyable for me.
—What if they gave you $10,000, but asked you to bet on someone?
— To be honest, I am not a fan of betting at all and have never participated in it. But I’d still like to give Sanya a 60-40 advantage.
— Do you disagree with those who believe that Volkov “has no fight”?
“It was he alone who strangled Blagoy Ivanov. And I don’t understand at all how you can say this about a person who spent 40 professional fights in a cage,” Romanov told .
