Russian Alexander Volkov, ranked third in the UFC heavyweight division (120 kg), spoke about the possibility of participating in the organization's tournament planned for the summer of 2026 at the White House.
According to Idman.Biz, Volkov wants to participate in this event, but also tries to properly assess the reality.
"I don't even know if it will be good or bad politically. It would be great for personal recognition and global fame. But let's face it – unless there is a heavyweight title fight at that tournament, it is unlikely that anyone will include me in this event. Most likely, there will be very intense fights there. If we are talking about me, then I will have to face Americans. There are few of them in the Top 15. I don't even want to discuss it. If I get such an offer, I will think about it," Volkov said in an interview with "Championship".
