“I finished my last three fights early with confident victories,” “Drago” wrote on social media. “Feeling stronger than ever. While others were losing, I was learning.”
“You may or may not believe it, but now is my time! So the question is, who should I challenge to a duel next?”
Alexander Volkov, 34, last fought on Sept. 9 at UFC 293 in Sydney, finishing Australian knockout artist Tai Tuivasa with a second-round Ezekiel choke. Prior to that, the Russian knocked out Surinamese Jairzinho Rosenstrike and Alexandr Romanov, representing Moldova, in the first rounds.
