Alexander Volkov Believes Jailton Almeida Needs to Change Fighting Style

Alexander Volkov advises Jailton Almeida to change his style if he wants a title shot.

Volkov took on Almeida in a heavyweight matchup at UFC 321 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi. Almeida took Volkov down at will and controlled him for nearly 11 minute, while barely landing any damage. Meanwhile, Volkov tried to land damage at every possible opportunity, even working with short elbows from the bottom position. Volkov ultimately walked away with a somewhat controversial split-decision win.

However, Volkov claims he was expecting the scorecards to tilt towards him.
