Former MMA Series heavyweight champion Sergey Dyakonov has weighed in on the upcoming fight between Alexander Volkov and Rizvan Kuniev. Dyakonov believes the more experienced Volkov will control the bout and secure a convincing victory.
He expects Volkov to have the advantage in striking, wrestling and ground work. Dyakonov does not predict a stoppage, instead backing Volkov to win by unanimous decision after three rounds.
“For Kuniev, this will probably be hell. Volkov will outclass him in every area: striking, wrestling, grappling — everything,” Dyakonov said.
