Russian mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Alexander Volkov arrived in London, where he will face the Englishman Tom Aspinall. The corresponding post is available on the heavyweight’s Instagram account.
The 33-year-old Russian was photographed in the Greenwich area. “On the ground,” Volkov noted in the description of the picture.
On March 1, the head of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Dana White, assured that the promotion intends to organize the planned fights with the participation of the Russians. It was reported that the UFC allows the transfer of Volkov’s fight to the United States in the event that the heavyweight would have problems with a visa.
The UFC London tournament is scheduled for March 19. The fight between Volkov and Aspinall will lead the event. Russian fighters Timur Valiev, Shamil Abdulrakhimov and Sergey Pavlovich will also perform within the framework of the tournament. On February 26, it was reported that the UFC had concerns about a possible disruption of the fight due to the situation in Ukraine.
