Alexander Volkov shocked the crowds at UFC 293 on September 9th, 2023 when he became the third person in UFC history to finish a fight with an Ezekiel Choke. It was surprising not just because the submission is so rare in itself, but also because Volkov is historically much more of a striker than a grappler. In fact, this was the first submission finish that he has landed in his UFC career, despite having competed for the promotion since 2016. It is also only the fourth submission finish of his professional MMA career, and he’s closing in on his 50th fight so nobody could have seen this happening.

Volkov was coming into this fight against Tai Tuivasa at UFC 293 firmly inside the top 10 of the heavyweight division, while Tuivasa was sitting at number 6. That means that the convincing win here should be enough to push him into the top 5 of the division and with this being his third win in a row, he’ll probably be just one more win away from a title-shot. If he’s been able to improve his submission skills to a decent level while also maintaining the elite striking he’s been known for his entire career, Volkov could be a really tough opponent for Jon Jones in the near-future.
