Alexander Volkov wants a shot at the heavyweight title after he knocked out Fabricio Werdum in the main event of UFC London.
The Russian was patient and clinical in the biggest fight of his career to date, and dropped Werdum when the Brazilian opted to throw caution to the wind in the fourth round.
Werdum lunged forward, and ate several powerful counter punches before Volkov finished the fight with several blows to his down opponent.

It extends Volkov’s winning streak to three in a row and the towering heavyweight is now gunning for a shot at the championship strap.
Volkov even suggested that he should be granted the opportunity to challenge for the title in the main event of a UFC event in Russia.
There are reports the UFC are exploring the possibility of holding a fight night in Russia later this year and Volkov wants to be the headline attraction.
Also in attendance in the post-fight press conference was the other big winners of the night, Leon Edwards, Tom Duquesnoy and Jan Blachowicz.
