Alexander Volkov doesn’t think stoppage of Jairzinho Rozenstruik was early: ‘He was in bad position’

Alexander Volkov thinks his finish of Jairzinho Rozenstruik was inevitable.

The UFC heavyweight contender doesn’t feel his TKO win over Rozenstruik came prematurely in the main event of UFC Fight Night 207, which took place on Saturday night in Las Vegas.

Volkov (35-10 MMA, 9-4 UFC) picked up a quick TKO in the first round after wobbling Rozenstruik with a straight right hand and following up with more punches. Rozenstruik, who dropped to one knee briefly during the flurry from Volkov, protested referee Herb Dean’s call immediately after the fight was waived.
