Alexander Volkov criticized opponent Rizvan Kuniev's history with performance-enhancing drugs ahead of their heavyweight showdown at UFC 333 this Saturday.

No. 4-ranked UFC heavyweight Alexander Volkov has turned his focus to his upcoming bout against Rizvan Kuniev at UFC 333 this Saturday, October 24, at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. Leading up to the contest, Volkov addressed his opponent's past, specifically pointing to Kuniev’s history with performance-enhancing drugs as a factor in his career development.

Volkov, who enters the main card bout looking to solidify his standing in the heavyweight division, suggested that Kuniev’s previous success was tied to those past issues. Despite his expressed frustrations regarding his own path to a title shot, which currently remains elusive, the Russian veteran is preparing for a stern test against the surging Kuniev.

For fantasy players, this heavyweight matchup presents a classic clash between an established, technical striker in Volkov and a dangerous newcomer looking to break into the elite ranks. While Volkov remains a reliable veteran option for rosters, Kuniev’s ability to disrupt the current divisional landscape makes this a pivotal fight to watch for potential scoring volatility on fight night.
