UFC heavyweight Alexander Volkov of Russia turned to the fans in connection with the cancellation of his fight against Alistair Overeem on April 20 at a tournament in St. Petersburg.

"Hello! I would like to clarify the situation with the cancellation of my fight. To my great regret, my fight will not take place due to health problems that are not dependent on me personally. A lot of effort was put in preparation for this fight, and I really wanted to please you with a beautiful fight, but not all is in our hands.

“I do not give up, I am sure that soon you will see me in octagon in better shape. Thank you all for your support!” wrote Volkov on his Instagram page.
