Werdum found success early, taking Volkov to the mat, but failing to secure the submission. The Russian fighter's submission defense held up--with Volkov later explaining that him having previously trained with Werdum truly helped when they finally competed in a pro bout inside the Octagon.
Volkov subsequently found tremendous success with his boxing; tagging the Brazilian legend at will. His volume punching eventually led to Werdum gassing out and becoming no more than a stagnant punching bag.
Volkov closed out the show in the 4th round; tagging Werdum with a nasty uppercut and putting the latter to sleep with a few follow-up punches.
