Fabricio Werdum was clearly winning the fight and at times looked like he was coasting.
The Russian fighter landed big punches to a grounded Werdum from top position and once the two men got up, he landed a huge combination that dropped the former UFC heavyweight champion for good. Officially, it was a knockout victory for Volkov at 1:38 of the fourth round.
Werdum seemed to have total control throughout, especially on the ground where he seemed to be toying with Volkov at times. But Werdum’s complacency — and perhaps fatigue — got the better of him.
