A 29-6 record has Alexander Volkov on the way up in the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s heavyweight division.
After a successful run in organizations like M-1 Global and Bellator MMA, “Drago” has compiled a 3-0 mark inside the Octagon and emerged as a dark horse title contender in a weight class starved for new blood. Volkov will meet Fabricio Werdum in the UFC Fight Night 127 headliner this Saturday at the O2 Arena in London, where the 6-foot-7 Russian can strengthen his position as one of the promotion’s premier big men.
