Russian UFC fighter Alexander Volkov has spoken about the possibility of a UFC heavyweight title fight.
On May 10, the Russian defeated Dominican fighter Waldo Cortez Acosta, winning by unanimous decision at UFC 328 in New Jersey (USA).
“I’m too afraid to fight for the title!” genuinely! Waldo is so big and so talented. I don’t know what I’m doing in the top two heavyweight divisions. It’s very difficult to be there. Today I was in my room and didn’t want to leave. I hid in the toilet and the coach couldn’t find me. “I almost missed the bus to the arena,” Volkov said in an interview. Sport24.
US President Donald Trump announced earlier that on June 14, his birthday, a UFC championship fight would be held in the park in front of the White House. It will be timed to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov compared the fight against Irish MMA fighter Conor McGregor to a vacation trip to the Maldives. He confirmed that he used the fight with McGregor “for fun.”
