Top-10 UFC heavyweight contender Alexander Volkov has released a statement after his lopsided loss to Curtis Blaydes in the UFC on ESPN 11 main event on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Volkov, who is the former Bellator heavyweight champion, had no answer for Blaydes’ takedowns and top control in the fight, losing a unanimous decision after five grueling rounds.<\/p>\n

Despite this loss, the Russian fighter seems to be in good spirits. He addressed his fans on Instagram on Sunday.<\/p>\n
