Ciryl Gane says Alexander Volkov more dangerous fighter than Derrick Lewis

Last month in an interview with LowkickMMA, Ciryl Gane said that a fight against Alexander Volkov was much more dangerous than Derrick Lewis.

With Lewis, I’ll fight more like with Jairzinho. I fight with fight IQ, distance and yes be careful because with this guy he can knock you (out) with one punch. So just be careful.”

Me with Alexander Volkov is an interesting fight. He has a good range. He is really tall and he has really good striking. He has really dangerous striking. So, yeah, this fight is gonna be more hard than Lewis I think.” (H/T – LowKickMMA)
