Ivan Bannikov, the manager of the heavyweight Alexandr Volkov said that his client expects to face Derrick Lewis in his next fight.

“We are always in dialogue with the UFC, but the situation in the division before the fight between Ngannu and Ghana is rather vague. Sasha is ready to fight with any of the tops above himself, but we ask Lewis," Bannikov said.

Volkov, 33, fought his last fight on October 30 at UFC 267 in Abu Dhabi, beating Marcin Tyburu on points.

In October 2018 Lewis knocked out Volkov just seconds before the end of the fight.
