Alexander Volkov needed less than half a round to serve up a reminder that he is one of the most dominant heavyweights in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
For about two minutes, not much happened in the main event between “Drago” and Jairzinho Rozenstruik, as the two big men appeared quite wary of one another’s power. Then a whole lot started to happen all at once. Both men flurried, and Volkov took a flush right hand from “Bigi Boy” of the kind that has flattened more than one UFC heavyweight. The towering Russian shrugged it off, however, and responded with a series of punches that knocked out his foe’s mouthpiece and left him reeling against the fence, spurring referee Herb Dean into action for a standing stoppage.
