7 fighters Brock Lesnar should face on UFC return
The UFC's heavyweight division, across the promotion's 25 glorious years of existence, has showcased some of the sport's most elite fighters. The division of the big boys, over the years, has been sought after dearly by fans who relish a dosage of bludgeoning heavyweight action.
The UFC, in the past, and also very much in the present, have spoilt fans with some of the most mouth-watering match-ups in the 265-pound division.
There have been a plethora of champions in the lustrous history of the UFC, and one such individual who we will be closely associating with, in this article, is former UFC heavyweight champion, Brock Lesnar.
Brock Lesnar is an American professional wrestler and mixed martial artist, presently signed under the WWE and UFC banners. Lesnar has been a professional mixed martial artist only since as recent as 2006 but has never failed to make a grand appearance of himself, whether it was inside or outside the Octagon.
In this article, we will be taking a close look at some of Brock Lesnar's potential opponents, given his probable return to the sport, this year.
#7 Alexander Volkov
With a nickname like 'Drago,' there is no escaping the mere fact that Alexander Volkov is one among the better heavyweights of this era. Standing at 6 foot and 7 inches tall, this Russian mixed martial artist is as mean as they come! Being a professional fighter since 2009, Volkov has been a part of multiple fighting avenues such as M-1 Global, Bellator MMA, and of course, the UFC.
Alexander Volkov, although a semi-new prospect to the UFC, has had more cage-time experience than most fighters in the current heavyweight roster. Boasting a record of 30 wins, with just the exception of 7 losses, Volkov has taken on some of the best in the business such as Stefan Struve, Roy Nelson, and Timothy Johnson, straight to the cleaners.
With a superhuman reach of 81 inches and a kickboxer by early discipline, Alexander Volkov is one of the better and more sophisticated strikers in the sport. Brock Lesnar has, in the recent past, been flirting with the idea of a return to the UFC, and Alexander Volkov could very well be an ideal match-up for the South Dakotan All-American wrestler.
