The UFC’s trip to London for the 127th edition of UFC Fight Night resulted in a new contender within the heavyweight division. Alexander Volkov destroyed former UFC champ Fabricio Werdum. The finish came via strikes in the fourth round, and it sends Volkov to the short list of potential future title challengers within the heavyweight division.
