UFC Rotterdam recap: Alexander Volkov TKOs Stefan Struve

Alexander Volkov scored his first UFC stoppage in the UFC Fight Night 115 main event opposite fellow heavyweight giant Stefan Struve.

Volkov, who is now 3-0 in the UFC and extended his winning streak to five in a row, went toe to toe with “The Skyscraper” from the opening bell to the moment referee Marc Goddard called a halt to the fight.

The exchanges were incredibly close in the first two rounds — Struve possibly won the first round, and Volkov likely took the second. But “Drago” turned things up one notch in the third round.
