“If Goncharov slows down, there will be sparring” – Volkov

UFC fighter Alexander Volkov said that he is ready to train with Evgeny Goncharov.

On December 17, at the ACBJJ 20 tournament, Alexander Volkov defeated ex-ACA heavyweight champion Evgeniy Goncharov according to the rules of Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Volkov is 37 years old; during his MMA career he won 39 victories and suffered 11 defeats.

– If you fought Almeida according to the rules of jiu-jitsu, would he be able to transfer you?

– Don’t know. I was also sure that he would not transfer me. Tenacity? Yes. But I haven’t done any analysis yet.

— Evgeny Goncharov invited you to train together. Are you interested?

– He is aggressive. If he slows down, there will be sparring. I don’t need to prove anything in sparring. This is a working moment,” a Match TV correspondent reports Volkov’s words.

Volkov’s last fight took place at UFC 321, where the Russian defeated Brazilian Gilton Almeida by split decision.

The fighter’s manager Ivan Bannikov, after Volkov’s victory over Almeida, said in an interview with Match TV that the Russian fighter would fight next for the UFC heavyweight title.
