Alexander Volkov spent the majority of the fight on his back, but he still walked away with a big win over Jailton Almeida at UFC 321.
As expected, Almeida came out and immediately shot for a takedown. He easily put Volkov on his back, but with a complete lack of offense, Volkov was able to sweep, getting into top control. Volkov momentarily moved into full mount, dropping a couple of elbows before Almeida adjusted.
With the clock winding down in the first, Almeida was content to bury his head and let Volkov tee off on him, potentially surrendering a 10-9 to the Russian.
