UFC Las Vegas: Alexander Volkov Melts Alexandr Romanov In First ... (Cageside Press)

In the end, King Kong could not conquer the skyscraper that was Alexander Volkov, as Volkov put away Alexandr Romanov inside of a round at UFC Las Vegas.

Romanov looked like a shell of his former self in this fight, falling apart the moment he met resistance. Volkov rained down ground and pound while Romanov turtled up, moving at the last second to avoid the fight being stopped. Romanov is a bulky, powerful wrestler who takes down opponents and smashes them while Volkov is a lanky kickboxer who uses his length to beat opponents up from outside.

UFC Vegas Odds, Pick & Prediction for Alexander Volkov vs ... (The Action Network)

Dan Tom breaks down Saturday's co-headliner between Alexander Volkov and Alexander Romanov at UFC Vegas (The Theater at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas).

Aside from having the propensity to get stuck on the outside of striking range, Romanov also appears to have stamina issues past the seven-minute mark. The content on this page is for informational purposes only. Should that scenario play out, then you will likely get an even better line on Volkov if he’s able to survive the first round. We may be compensated for the links provided on this page. The former M-1 champion may have slipped up against super prospect Tom Aspinall, but Volkov has shown to make marked strides in his grappling game since signing on with the UFC. Although Romanov chains well off of singles and will occasionally dust off a power double for good measure, he arguably does his best work from the clinch. Romanov, who fights out of a southpaw stance, brings a few unique looks to the table that aren’t often seen from the big boys. Volkov may come from a karate base, but he is also a Brazilian jiu-jitsu brown belt like Romanov. Action Network makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the information given or the outcome of any game or event. Although Romanov’s last fight should’ve clearly been scored a draw, he’ll likely be heading into Saturday’s event (3 p.m. Alexander Romanov. 12/11/1990
