Video: Derrick Lewis, Alexander Volkov have near-scrap at UFC 229 weigh-ins
nt"
LAS VEGAS – For the second fight in a row Derrick Lewis got physical with his opponent at weigh-ins. Alexander Volkov wouldn’t be intimidated though, and it almost turned in a full-fledged brawl.
After stepping on the scale at UFC 229 ceremonial weigh-ins, Lewis (20-5 MMA, 11-3 UFC) got in Volkov’s (30-6 MMA, 4-0 UFC) face and knocked his traditional Russian headwear to the floor. Shoving followed, then Volkov threw a kick that fell just short of “The Black Beast.”
UFC President Dana White and on-stage security were able to separate the monstrous heavyweights before things escalated too far out of control, but now the tension going into the matchup has increased significantly.
Watch the video of the chaos above.
UFC 229 takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Lewis vs. Volkov airs on the pay-per-view main card following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
