Alexander Volkov is a top-five contender at heavyweight, and he’s looking to move himself closer to a title shot. So, like many UFC fighters, he decided that calling out a fellow highly-ranked fighter on social media was the best way to go about it.
But I don’t think he expected the response that he got from Derrick Lewis.
Volkov is interested in a UFC Moscow fight with Lewis on on September 15. So he respectfully asked for it:
It seems like the only way for me to get a fight in #UFCMoscow is to call here to fight @Thebeast_ufc.
