5 Things You Might Not Know About Alexander Volkov

Alexander Volkov often towers above his competition. That will not be the case in his latest appearance under the Ultimate Fighting Championship banner.

“Drago” will move up the heavyweight totem pole and give up four inches of height when he faces the 6-foot-11 Stefan Struve in the UFC Fight Night 115 main event this Saturday at Ahoy Rotterdam in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The winner figures to emerge as a possible suitor for the division’s elite. Volkov will coast into the match on a run of four consecutive victories, the last two of which occurred inside the Octagon.
