Alexander Volkov Jokes About Takedown Defense, Calls for Heavyweight Title Shot

After his UFC 321 close win over #5-ranked Jailton Almeida, Volkov (39-11) humorously reflected on his wrestling struggles. “Maybe in some alternate universe I have good takedown defense, but not in this one,” he laughed. Despite the joke, Volkov, ranked #2, said he’s proud of the victory and believes he’s now earned a shot at the heavyweight title.
