Volkanovski: "Thought Pavlovic would knock out Volkov"

Former UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski reacted to Alexander Volkov's win over Sergey Pavlovich at UFC on ABC 6 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

"I was betting on Pavlovic, I thought he could win by knockout. But Volkov kept him at long range, did a great job. Pavlovic was annoyed by that. Obviously, you saw his reaction after the fight. He got very angry, pushed Volkov. I didn't expect that.

I was betting on the favorites this time, but I always like underdogs. I chose Volkov as an underdog who has a chance. That's why I said: if you want to go all-in, bet on Volkov. So if you did that, good for you. Pavlovic is a dangerous fighter, but if you can't deliver your bombs, that's it. Volkov did a great job," Volkanovski said on his YouTube channel.

Recall, Volkov defeated Pavlovic by unanimous decision of the judges.
