Khabib on Volkov: "Age is already taking its toll"

Khabib Nurmagomedov, Championship

Former UFC heavyweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov shared his opinion on top heavyweight Alexander Volkov.

"Volkov is one of the best fighters, but when the big fights come, he loses. Age is taking its toll too. He's around, but he's not winning the big fights. I'm not talking about competition, I'm talking about results. He's got two years to go up now. Ciryl Gane isn't going anywhere, Lewis and Blades aren't either. I'm not criticising, my dad was worried about him and they had great communication. But it is, what it is," Nurmagomedov said.

Volkov's next fight will be against Marcin Tybura on October 30 in Abu Dhabi.
