I am ready to fight any fighter for the BMF belt

The best Russian fighter in the UFC heavyweight division Alexander Volkov shared his future plans after defeating his compatriot Sergei Pavlovich.

On the night of June 23 at UFC on ABC 6, Volkov won by unanimous decision. In a post-fight interview, the Russian said he was ready to face heavyweight champion Jon Jones.

Volkov said at a press conference:

I would like to fight for the belt, but being a UFC employee, I will have to rely on their opinion rather than my own wishes. I am interested in any fight that will please the public above all. I’m interested in good, loud fights. If the BMF (Baddest Motherf***er) heavyweight belt shows up, that would be awesome. I would fight anyone for that. I can fight Derrick Lewis and someone else on the same night.

Volkov, 35, previously entered the octagon in September 2023 at UFC 293, defeating Tai Tuivasa via second-round choke. He has 38 victories and ten defeats on his record.

Pavlovich, 32, last fought at UFC 295 in November 2023, losing to Tom Aspinall by first-round knockout. He has 18 victories and three defeats on his record.
