Alexander Volkov got back in the win column with a first-round TKO of Jairzinho Rozenstruik at UFC Vegas 56 tonight.
It took Volkov just over two minutes to dispatch of Rozenstruik. The Russian felt the power of “Bigi Boy” early on, but it didn’t take long for Volkov to rock Rozenstruik and have him fending off successive strikes against the fence.
Rozenstruik was spared further punishment by referee Herb Dean, who rushed in to declare a TKO victory for Volkov. The opinion of fans and pundits, however, seems divided on whether it was an early stoppage.
