Review: 2014-05-17, pretty good finish but it is not enough to get three stars: Alexander Volkov vs Blagoi Ivanov gets two. Alexander Volkov entered this fight with a mma record of 21-4-0 (81% finishing rate, with just one victory via submission) and he is ranked as the No.19 heavyweight in the world, he won the Bellator Hw title in 2012 defeating Richard Hale (=Hale vs Volkov) but then he lost the belt at his first defense against Vitaly Minakov (=Volkov vs Minakov); after that bout he has fought and won twice.
His opponent, the undefeated Blagoi Ivanov, has a perfect record of 11-0-0 (82% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.27 in the same weight class, he is a black belt in judo but he also won the World Sambo Championships in 2008 (defeating Fedor Emelianenko in the semifinal!!); he has already fought twice in 2014 defeating Rich Hale and Lavar Johnson (=Johnson vs Ivanov). Volkov vs Ivanov is the final of the Bellator heavyweight tournament, undercard of Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson vs ‘King Mo’ Lawal – Bellator 120. Watch the video and rate this fight!
