Not sure how true, saw an announcement on IG that Volkov will be prepared to step in at 226 if one of the fighters has to pull out. I like this idea what do you guys think? Would you prefer a fight between him and Stipe to begin with?

I wonder how often they have backups like this that we don't know about? But yes, I think it's a great idea given the number of fight cancellations in MMA. Kind of tough for a title fight as the champ gets less time to prepare for a style and Volkov is very different from a wrestler, but good for fans.

I like that they are keeping a backup just in case. I'd much rather see Stipe vs DC tbough.
I Have been high on Volkov and the other Russian that just signed and is fighting jds next. Never thought we would see either of them in the ufc.

Dada 5000 UFC is going to Co-Promote with Bellator and give the fans the fight they have been asking for.

I guess they couldn’t get a guy people have heard of?

I guess they couldn’t get a guy people have heard of? Agreed. All 8 of the fighters in the Bellator HW tournament are bigger names.

I'm with Loco, I have no idea who this Alex guy is. I'm sure I've watched him fight before, but I don't remember him.
That said, I agree that its a good idea to have a back up plan incase something happens and one can't do the fight.

You might recognize him but he's NOT memorable - tall Russian. Zero chance he could beat Stipe or Cormier unless he landed a lucky hail mary. I would say he's a 5-1 dog against either. He's big but not impressive as a fighter. Probably worth throwing on cards because he does have a good chin and can box with big dudes, but he's nothing special.

I like the idea of naming replacement fighters beforehand.
But in this instance the replacement would get soundly beaten by either guy in the fight.

Of all the fighters, why one no one has heard of?

UFC needs to recruit some guys from Bellator. Their HW division is deep.

Meh. Thing is, you know I’m right.
But you’d rather make an idiot post than just agree with me.
