Alexander Volkov has fought only ranked opponents for 12 straight UFC bouts

Alexander Volkov has faced exclusively top-tier opposition across his last 12 UFC fights, a streak spanning over five years. His last unranked opponent was Greg Hardy at a Moscow event in November 2019. Volkov himself has remained in the top 15 for more than nine years. Of his last 12 fights, only one was against an opponent outside the top 10—Alexander Romanov, who was ranked 14th at the time. This consistency demonstrates Volkov's sustained elite-level competition in the heavyweight division.
