Almeida: "Our fight with Ghana will not be delayed until the judges' decision"

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.
