UFC London Results: Fabricio Werdum Vs Alexander Volkov

In the main event of UFC Fight Night London, Alexander Volkov earned the biggest win of his career with a fourth-round KO victory over former UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum.

Werdum had control of the fight early on when it got to the ground, but Volkov was able to avoid submission attacks. Typically a jiu-jitsu specialist, Werdum welcomed the fight going to the ground and when he got knocked down he would invite Volkov to engage with him on the ground, but Volkov wanted no part of his vaunted grappling game. Werdum eventually slowed in the third round and Volkov could sense the finish was coming. In the fourth, Werdum was visibly gassed and when the fight made it back to the feet Volkov pressured him with some hard punches that staggered Werdum. Volkov then unloaded punches and Werdum hit the mat before the referee stepped in to stop the fight.
