UFC heavyweight Alexander Volkov commented on the victory over Taem Tuivasa on UFC 293.
“I feel great, as I do every time I win. I heard that the local fans are supporting my opponent, but a lot of people have been supporting me throughout the week, I have a lot of fans here. I worked hard on wrestling and knew that would be one of my advantages over him. I saw an opportunity and took advantage of it. I was surprised at how tough a nut he is. He took so many hard blows, I hit as hard as I could, and I was surprised that he was still on his feet. He’s strong-willed, I’m kind of a fan of his,” the fighter said.
Let us remind you that Volkov defeated Tuivasa by submission in the second round.
