Shlemenko said that Volkov was not psychologically prepared for the fight against Aspinall
Russian mixed-style fighter (MMA) Alexander Shlemenko said that his compatriot Alexander Volkov had problems with the mood for the main fight of the UFC Fight Night 204 tournament against Briton Tom Aspinall. It is reported by “Sport-Express”.
As Shlemenko explained, Volkov looked normal physically, but was not mentally prepared for the fight. “Alexander stopped progressing? I wouldn’t say so. He develops – gained muscle mass and weight. Progress is noticeable. It is impossible to get a result every second, ”said the athlete.
Earlier on March 20, Volkov lost ahead of schedule to Aspinall. The fight ended with the victory of the British athlete in the first round by submission.
This is the tenth defeat of Volkov with 34 victories. For Aspinall, the victory was the 12th in his career with two defeats.
