UFC heavyweight number eight, Alexander Volkov, has assessed the likelihood that he will have to share the octagon with his compatriot Sergei Pavlovich, who occupies the third line in the division.
“So far, I am skeptical about this fight – I think that it will not take place,” the Russian fighter said in an interview. Sport24. “Neither I want him, nor he, probably, either. We trained a lot together, sparred a lot. Probably, in order for this fight to happen, it must be either a championship or a 100% contender.”
“Again, the UFC can set their terms and both of us may not do anything, but I don’t think they will. To hold this fight, you need to understand who is interested in this fight, and it will be interesting only to our audience. And our audience for the UFC is not the main goal now. Anything can happen, but in general, I still don’t feel that it will be necessary to fight with Sergey specifically. ”
Alexander Volkov, 34, will fight his next fight on March 11 against Moldavian Alexander Romanov, while Sergei Pavlovich, 30, is rumored to face American Curtis Blades in April.
