Alexander Volkov denied any Australian fans who were hoping to see their countryman Tai Tuivasa come away with a win at UFC 293. "Drago" earned a second-round submission win over "Bam Bam" in the co-main event from Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia.
Volkov took control of the fight from the opening bell. He utilized kicks and combinations to establish the range and made it difficult for Tuivasa to string much offense together without getting a jab to the face or kick to the midsection.
He punctuated the round with several punches that found a home.
