The situation around today's announced fight between Alexander Volkov and Sergey Pavlovich continues to develop in an unclear way. First, Volkov's fight with Almeida was announced. This morning, UFC CEO Dana White announced a fight between Volkov and Pavlovic. Later, Volkov's management said that such an announcement came as a complete surprise to them and they will be looking into the details. And now a source close to the situation says that the fight may be canceled.
"Volkov and Pavlovic were not going to fight each other, they are on good terms, periodically train together. Such a fight is possible only if it is a challenger or title fight. Volkov also already had a contract in hand for a fight against Brazilian Jailton Almeida. Now there will be negotiations between the league and managers to have the fight between Volkov and Pavlovic canceled."
