Alexander Volkov took some damage in his recent UFC headliner, but the pain continued after he left the cage.
This past Saturday at UFC Fight Night 115, Volkov (29-6 MMA, 3-0 UFC) stopped fellow big man Stefan Struve (28-9 MMA, 12-7 UFC) via third-round TKO in a grueling heavyweight attraction.
Volkov endured heavy blows, some eye-pokes and a nasty gash under his left eye during the fight, which streamed on UFC Fight Pass from Ahoy Rotterdam in the Netherlands. Afterward, Volkov, who was cut open with a Struve knee, got the wound stitched up.
It’s not fun to watch (it’s a pretty big cut, after all) – and it was clearly even less fun to experience, despite Volkov’s efforts to play it cool. Check it out (via Instagram):
Volkov, who’s No. 13 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA heavyweight rankings, is now 3-0 in the UFC. After the Struve victory, the 28-year-old Russian and former M-1 champion stumped for a UFC event in Russia.
