Aspinall: "I think Volkov has everything he needs to become champion"

Alexandr Ormanji | Published Sept. 6, 2021, 5:32 a.m.

UFC heavyweight Tom Aspinall has shared his opinion on Russian fighter Alexander Volkov. The Brit believes "Drago" is capable of becoming UFC heavyweight champion.

"Volkov is a great fighter. He looked great against Harris, he looked great against Overim. He's a brilliant fighter, just huge. A lot taller than me. I think he's got what it takes to be champion in the near future," Aspinall stated.

Volkov will have his next fight on October 30 in Abu Dhabi. He will face Marcin Tybura at UFC 267.
