The former Bellator heavyweight champion, Alexander Volkov, was disappointed when he learned he was not going to take on former UFC title holder Junior dos Santos anymore, at least not at UFC Moscow—as originally planned. After being removed from the card with a gnarly leg infection, ‘Cigano’ was quickly replaced by Greg Hardy, and the bout was dropped to the night’s co-main event.
Now, just hours away from his fight against Hardy, Volkov told Combate he is happy to still be fighting in Russia, rather than having his fight shifted to another card. However, he hopes to fight JDS in the not too distant future.
