Alexander Volkov KNOCKED OUT the Bellator champion! Fight that opened the way for Drago to the UFC!

Alexander Volkov knocked out Alistair Overeem today and took a big step towards a fight for the UFC champion belt. Well, we will remember his other knockout, which allowed Drago to defend the M-1 Challenge champion belt and gave him the right to sign a contract with the American promotion. On June 16, 2016, the grand tournament M-1 Challenge 68 took place in St. Petersburg, within the framework of which a rematch between Alexander Shlemenko and Vyacheslav Vasilevsky took place. By the way, you can easily find both fights of this great confrontation on our channel. Well, in the co-main fight of the evening for the M-1 Challenge heavyweight champion title, two former Bellator champions met. The best Slovak fighter Attila Vej just returned from overseas to Europe and was looking for new big challenges for himself. He had 29 wins, 6 losses and 2 draws, a dozen scalps of top fighters he had beaten, the title of MMA world champion according to the World Free Fight Association, a victory at the Bellator Grand Prix and the champion belt of this organization. Alexander Volkov also moved from the USA to Russia that year and decided to fight again in the organization where his glorious fighting path began – in the M-1 Global company. A few months earlier, he had managed to win the M-1 Challenge champion belt in a fight against the Estonian giant Denis Smoldarev. Now Drago needed to defend this title once and, if successful, he would receive the right to sign a contract with the UFC. #Volkov #knockout #M1
