Volkov’s team worked perfectly, Alexander himself strictly adhered to the plan and won the fight. It was great that two representatives of Russia fought in the co-main event of the evening of the big tournament, but, of course, the end, when Sergei pushed Alexander away from him, slightly muddied the whole impression. It is a shame that two good Russian fighters publicly showed such intolerance towards each other. Apparently, emotions played a role.
