Why Alexander Volkov and Jairzinho Rozenstruik Need a Win at UFC Fight Night

Alexander Volkov fights Jairzinho Rozenstruik in the main event of Saturday's UFC Fight Night card.

Both fighters are coming off disappointing losses. Rozenstruik (12-3) lost a unanimous decision to Curtis Blaydes in September, while Volkov (34-10) tapped in a one-sided defeat to Tom Aspinall in March.

“I was prepared for the fight against Aspinall,” said Volkov, speaking through a translator. “I felt great when I got there, but something went wrong in the Octagon. It’s a fight. Sometimes things go right, sometimes things go wrong. I was prepared and I have no excuses. Aspinall was the better fighter that night.
