I can say that I also have something to surprise him with. I’m focused on my development. I like to train, and as long as there’s an opportunity, I’m ready to perform. I accepted this bout with about a month’s notice, and I’m glad to use this chance to prove myself and have a good fight.”

Rozenstruik said this to lowkickmma.com about his upcoming fight against Volkov, “I think it can be a stand-up fight because he’s also a striker. I know he has some jiu-jitsu but mostly I think is going to be stand-up. Yeah, we’re going to see how it plays out. Of course, I’m looking for a win. When I see him, I’ll be there. He’s a big guy, he’s a big tree so I’ll be more moving, finding my angles and try to land what I can land and then see how he reacts. But I would say any error, any mistakes you’re out.”

UFC Picks
Are you ready for a really competitive main event on Saturday? Volkov is 8-4 in the UFC, while Rozenstruik is 6-3. While the fight looks to be even, it may not go the distance, as both of these fighters have serious finishing power. Volkov has 25 finishes and Rozenstruik has finished 11 of his 12 victories. I have seen the round props and while the plus money on under 2.5 rounds is interesting, I prefer to lay the -150 and bet the fight not to go to a decision.
