Volkov has been quiet lately. Anyone have any news on him? Who should he fight next?

[650lb Sumo]

It's been 6 months since he fought (1st round TKO of Rozenstruik). He's ranked 9th. Here are the fighters ranked above him:

Ngannou - hasn't fought, inactive
Gane - lost
Miocic - hasn't fought, inactive
Blaydes - lost
Tuivasa - hasn't fought
Pavlovich - hasn't fought
Aspinall - lost, inactive
Lewis - lost

and the 4 below him are:

Rozenstruik - won
Tybura - won
Daukaus - hasn't fought
Spivac - hasn't fought

Is Volkov injured? Is he active and training? I have no information. If he's available it's past time he got an opponent although no name is really jumping out at me from the ones I have listed. Maybe the winner of Lewis vs Spivak? Maybe a rematch with Blaydes?

Last I saw he was ubering up again

 

[Duck Dodgers]

Give him time. He's recovering from a head transplant.

 

[BlueCat]

Probably healing his chin

Europe has the same amount of UFC champs as Africa and more than Mexico and all of Asia

Perfect call right there.
Winner is ready to step up.
Or feed him to the other Sergei if you want him to get folded like a Stefan Struve human accordion.

 

[Vice13]

Pavlovich vs Volkov

 

[Ace70 V2]

Not sure I'd list Khabib as European lol

Depends on what part of Russia he's from. Part of the country is in Europe, and pert of it is in Asia.
