UFC: Francis Ngannou calls out Alexander Volkov

Alexander Volkov won the fight against Greg Hardy via a unanimous decision and came back into the win column after a devastating loss against Derrick Lewis at UFC 229. It immediately caught Ngannou’s attention and ‘The Predator’ wants to fight Volkov next. After UFC Fight Night 163, Ngannou praised Volkov for his performance and challenged him for a fight. Have a look at The Predator’s tweet post-UFC Fight Night.

According to Ngannou, a fight with just 18 days notice doesn't make sense and that's why he rejected facing Volkov for UFC Moscow. Well, Volkov had an impressive win in the recently concluded event and Ngannou is yet to face an opponent after knocking out Cain Velasquez. UFC might arrange this match-up since 'The Predator' is interested in Volkov and it will be interesting for him too since a victory against Ngannou can assure him a title shot.
