🐺 Volkov: I was reading a fairy tale to the children when I found out about my fight with Pavlovich
Famous Russian mixed martial arts fighter Alexander Volkov spoke about how he found out about his fight with his compatriot Sergei Pavlovich.
“It was ten o’clock at night. I live in the same time zone as Dana White, even in the same city. She was putting the kids to bed, reading them a story, and my phone started ringing with messages from one of the guys I train with: “Have you accepted a new fight? Great fight! Let’s get ready.” I don’t understand what’s happening, I switch to these messages. And he tells me that my fight with Pavlovich has been announced. I had to ask my wife to put the kids to bed, I picked up the phone myself and started calling to find out “I called Moscow and they didn’t know either,” Volkov said, according to Match TV.
