The first fight between a Russian Alexander Volkov and the French by Cyril Gun should not be taken into account when assessing chances before a rematch, this is the opinion shared with by the ex-Bellator fighter, and now sporting director of Ural FC Kirill Sidelnikov .
Number three in the UFC heavyweight rankings, Volkov was scheduled to fight Gan (No. 2 in the top 15) at the UFC Abu Dhabi tournament on October 26. Due to the Russian’s injury, the fight had to be postponed to another date; the opponents will meet in a tournament in Las Vegas on December 7. In June 2021, Volkov lost to Gan by unanimous decision.
“It seems to me that there will be something similar to the fight between Volkov and Seryozha Pavlovich. If Gan is more persistent and acts more varied than Sergei, then he has a chance. And for Alexander, the preparation for the rematch with Gan, I think, will be the same.
Alexandre will work in the same way, changing position. And I think it will remain the same person who does hair. I wish Alexandre good luck, I will support him! Don’t pay attention to their first fight; this is now a new chapter in their confrontation. Alexander started again. Remember his fight with Pavlovich. He came out and fought calmly. A completely different fighter,” Sidelnikov told .
All UFC tournaments are broadcast live on and Match! Fighter”. The next show will take place on Saturday, November 23. In the main match of the tournament, which will take place in Macau, Russian Petr Yan will meet Brazilian Deiveson Figueredo. Broadcast on begins on November 23 at 2:00 p.m. Moscow.
