Alexander Volkov Ends Pursuit of UFC Heavyweight Title After Repeated Snubs

Alexander Volkov Ends Pursuit of UFC Heavyweight Title After Repeated Snubs

Alexander Volkov says he is no longer hunting the UFC heavyweight belt, stating the title doesn't define him and that he remains a champion by himself. The Russian has fought 20 times in the UFC and headlined seven events since signing in 2016, winning seven of his last eight, yet has never received a title shot. Volkov made the comments on The Ariel Helwani Show a week after an awkward exchange with Dana White at the UFC 333 press conference. He pointed to Ciryl Gane, now undisputed champion after Tom Aspinall vacated, as having continued to receive opportunities while Volkov remains passed over.
