Filed under: News , UFC To hear Alexander Volkov tell it, the Russian media is responsible for his UFC Fight Night 115 headliner with Stefan Struve – not that he was opposed. “The idea actually came from the UFC matchmakers, from Sean Shelby,” Volkov told MMAjunkie of his UFC Fight Pass-streamed meeting Saturday with “Skyscraper” at Ahoy Rotterdam in Rotterdam, Netherlands. “When (the) media asked who would be my next opponent, I said probably Struve. “Struve saw this interview and started pursuing it very aggressively. In Russia, when someone issues a challenge in that way, then let’s do it!” Volkov (28-6 MMA, 2-0 UFC), a former Bellator heavyweight champ, might’ve appeared on Struve’s radar when he defeated Roy Nelson to pick up his second straight win. Struve (28-8 MMA, 12-6 UFC) is also on a two-fight win streak, putting the winner in good position for a marquee matchup.
