UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski spoke about who he considers the greatest MMA fighters from Russia.

The greatest MMA fighter from Russia? Obviously, it's Fedor Emelianenko - a legendary fighter. Petr Yan is a friend of mine, so I'll put him on that list too. What do I know about Russia? There are a lot of tough guys there. I trained with a lot of Russians in Thailand. They have good wrestling, very gutsy.

At the moment, Alexander Volkanovski is in Abu Dhabi. He will be a substitute in the main fight between Islam Makhachev and Charles Oliveira in case one of the athletes gets injured or fails at the weigh-in

Yan will fight against American Sean O'Malley at the upcoming UFC 280 tournament, which will be held on October 22 in Abu Dhabi. Petr has 16 wins and three losses under his belt.

Yan - about Hasbik: we'll take a picture together, maybe we'll fight Volkanovski - about Makhachev vs Oliveira: I think they will come out and put on a real show Ferguson to Khabib: Dad would be angry if he knew what kind of shit you've turned into
