White: "Volkov has put himself in a good position."

UFC CEO Dana White has spoken out about heavyweight Alexander Volkov's chances of a title fight after his win over Sergey Pavlovic.

"It was a good night for him. Volkov put himself in a good position. He looked great, he had a good fight plan, and he won. I'm not going to talk about title fights now, right after the tournament is over, but he definitely put himself in a good position," White said at the press conference.

Recall that on June 22 at the UFC on ABC 6 event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Volkov defeated Sergey Pavlovic by unanimous decision.
