Turning in just his fourth career submission win, former Bellator MMA and M-1 Global heavyweight champion, Alexander Volkov has also struck his third straight victory under the banner of the UFC, submitting fan-favorite striker, Tai Tuivasa in the co-main event of UFC 293 in Sydney, Australia with a rare Ezekiel choke submission win.
Entering tonight’s co-headlining slot against Tuivasa off the back of consecutive TKO wins over both Jairzinho Rozenstruik, and Alexander Romanov, Volkov dropped and bloodied aggressive striker, Tuivasa early in their bout and also before the end of the frame, bloodying the latter to boot.
And laying a beating down on Tuivasa from full mount in the second round of their UFC 293 co-headlining slot, Volkov patiently picked his opportunity, locking onto a spectacular Ezekiel choke with just less than half a minute remaining in he third and final round.
VOLKOV BY SUBMISSION!!

Slated to make his Octagon return against towering Russian striker, Alexander Volkov in the co-main event of UFC 293 in September, hometown favorite, Tai Tuivasa has claimed that after his opening exchange with Sergei Pavlovich en route to a first round knockout loss at UFC Orlando back in December, he was essentially “f*cked”.
Tuivasa, the current number six ranked heavyweight contender under the banner of the promotion, has been booked to make his Octagon return at UFC 293 in September in Sydney, Australia – taking on former Bellator MMA and M-1 Global heavyweight champion, Volkov in a return ‘Down Under’.
Suffering his second consecutive KO loss in his December defeat against surging number one ranked contender, Pavlovich, Tuivasa had headlined UFC Paris in September of last year against former interim titleholder, Ciryl Gane, suffering an eventual third round KO loss to the Frenchman in the pair’s Fight of the Night effort.
And detailing his experience against the surging, Pavlovich last December in ‘The Sunshine State’, Tuivasa admitted that candidly, he was in serious acrimony in the opening exchange with the bruiser.
“That one [fight with Sergei Pavlovich], I was maybe a bit rushed,” Tai Tuivasa told The Halfcast Podcast. “But, I still trained hard. The camp was all right – I was fit. Really, all that fight was down to was who hit who first. And, I was obviously trying to hit him first, but he hit me with the first hit, and I knew I was f*cked.”
“I was just like, ‘F*cking hell,’” Tai Tuivasa explained. “Then I come back and I tired to throw another big hit and then I did this, a 360 spin. I was like, ‘That is not what my head wanted,’ I was already dizzy and then did a full spin. Then it was just I hoped something hit him.”

Off the back of another standout victory in the main event of UFC Fight Night Charlotte, Brazilian contender, Jailton Almeida believes he’s destined to fight for promotional heavyweight gold as soon as next year, eyeing a fight with Australian favorite, Tai Tuivasa next.
Almeida, a product of Dana White’s Contender Series, has enjoyed a stunning 15 month stay with the promotion since his debut early last year, last night turning in a dominant opening round rear-naked choke submission win over Jairzinho Rozenstruik in his first headliner under the promotion’s banner.
Improving to 19-2 with his first round submission victory, Almeida landed his fifth consecutive triumph under the banner of the UFC since he debuted back in February of last year.
Confirming his plans to lure current undisputed heavyweight champion, Jon Jones to a future title fight before the gold holder’s expected retirement later this year, Almeida claimed he would be fighting for championship spoils before the end of next year.
“I’m taking this as a ladder full of steps, and I’m very happy to be looking into the top-10 right now and by the end of the year make it to seventh or sixth,” Jailton Almeida said through a translator during his post-fight media appearance. “Then next year, maybe go and shoot for the title we all dream of.”
As for his next fight, Almeida suggested a return at UFC 294 in October on ‘Fight Island’ in Abu Dhabi, UAE – calling out heavyweight knockout artist, Tuivasa.
“Of course, UFC Abu Dhabi or UFC Brazil around October,” Jailton Almeida said. “I want Tai Tuivasa. Either he comes to Brazil and feels the energy down there, or perhaps go to Abu Dhabi, where I heard he actually does his camps. So no worries, we can do that. We’ll make the effort and go for him.”

Former UFC title challenger, Derrick Lewis drops three places in the newest UFC heavyweight rankings update.
Last Saturday saw Lewis drop his third straight loss, making it 1-4 in his last five fights, all of which have come by stoppage. Serghei Spivak took Lewis down six times, eventually sinking in an arm triangle just after three minutes in the first round – Lewis landed zero punches.
In the newest UFC rankings update, Lewis dropped three places in the ranking, 7 to ten and the loss marks Lewis’ worst run in the promotion. His previous three losses came to Sergei Pavlovich, Tai Tuivasa, and Ciryl Gane, and while there is no shame in any of those losses, Lewis’ performance have left much to be desired.
Spivak however finds himself up four spots and is now ranked No.8 and positions himself for another big fight.
Lewis is now 38 and has now suffered seven career knockout losses and has certainly hit a low point in his career. However, UFC President Dana White confirmed at the post-fight press conference that Lewis was going nowhere, even after his recent skid.
Not with me, I love the guy, I love him so he’s not going anywhere.” said White
