UFC heavyweight Alexander Volkov named the key to victory in his upcoming fight with Sergey Pavlovich.
"The most important thing is not to piss! Everything else is a matter of chance. Sergey knows how to knockout with any punch. The main thing here is just to be ready for it and not to be afraid. What is the probability that the fight with Pavlovich will not happen? Well, it's like the probability that you will meet a dinosaur in the street - 50/50: either you will or you won't. It's the same here: the fight will either happen or it won't. In fact, the probability is that it's going to happen. And what will happen in two months, it's hard for me to say. I'm still preparing for this fight," said the fighter.
UFC heavyweight Alexander Volkov talked about how his sparring sessions with Sergey Pavlovich went. Volkov noted the power of Sergey's punching.
"Well you saw these sparring sessions yourself, he hits like a hoof - very hard. It was very hard to work with him. I think I didn't win a single round against him. Of course, after every punch. My legs were shaking. To be honest, when he came to sparring, I tried to stand with him less, because I realized that every time he hit, some injury could happen. I stood up for the very first rounds with him and tried not to stand up anymore. Because when Sergey was warming up, he could hit very hard", - said the fighter.
