The Russian mixed martial artist Alexander Yevgenievich Volkov was born October 24, 1988

Volkov is primarily a striker who attacks from the sidelines. Delivering accurate strikes from a distance requires him to make use of his tremendous height, extended reach, and strong kicks.

The calm and technical pugilism he is known for, along with his punishing body kicks, are among his most well-known attributes. He used these to his advantage in his knockout victory against Walt Harris at UFC 254.
