Brazilian heavyweight Jailton Almeida explained why he should be Alexander Volkov's next opponent.
"I'm looking forward to my next fight. I want to fight Cyril Gan at the September tournament in Paris. I'm sure it will be a great fight.
If Cyril wants to compete in this tournament, he doesn't have very many options. All the top heavyweights already have fights scheduled, so there are only two options - me and Alexander Volkov. But he's already beaten Volkov, and in a very boring fight. And if they meet again, it will be the same. They will again have a careful tactical fight, without too much activity.
I think my fight against Ghana is much more interesting. Not only because it's a new fight, but also because it's a duel of styles. There's no way this fight will go to a decision," MMA Mania quoted Almeida as saying.
