Alexander Volkov criticizes Ciryl Gane's tactics, calls him a dirty fighter

Alexander Volkov expressed disappointment that the UFC gave Ciryl Gane another title shot. Volkov criticized Gane's fighting style, stating that what Gane did against Tom Aspinall wasn't the first time he employed such tactics. Volkov recalled their first fight where Gane poked him in the eye, forcing Volkov to take a timeout. The Russian heavyweight described Gane as having good skills but being "a bit of a dirty fighter." Despite acknowledging Gane's technical abilities, Volkov clearly takes issue with his approach.
