Fight Night London Fantasy Rewind

A new heavyweight title contender emerged in the UFC's return to London, as Alexander Volkov put a stamp on his performance against former champion Fabricio Werdum with a stunning fourth-round knockout.

While Volkov has gone undefeated since joining the UFC roster, the Russian heavyweight was still a heavy underdog going against Werdum in a fight that would likely put the winner in an advantageous position in the title hunt.

Werdum definitely had his moments in the fight, but Volkov used his range and punching power all night long, battering the Brazilian's eye and putting together a solid striking attack throughout the bout.
