He followed with a massive left hook that sent Jairzinho Rozenstruik&#8217;s mouthpiece flying from his jaw to the Octagon canvas.<\/p>\n<p>Volkov kept pumping that long punching combination until referee Herb Dean put a stop to things.  The TKO finish for the 6-foot-7 heavyweight Volkov came at 2:12 of the first round.  It was Volkov&#8217;s quickest finish in his six years in the UFC.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know that he does not have good defense [at that moment], back to the cage, &#8220;Volkov said in his postfight interview.&#8221; I just see him go to the cage and just go forward for the knockout.  Good fight. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Rozenstruik protested the stoppage a bit with Dean.  He did not get dropped, though he was hurt and Dean seemed to believe Rozenstruik had ceased intelligently defending himself.<\/p>\n<p>Volkov said it&#8217;s his desire to &#8220;go forward in the division.&#8221;  ESPN has Volkov ranked No. 8 and Rozenstruik ranked No. 10 in the world at heavyweight.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now I&#8217;m waiting for next fight,&#8221; Volkov said.  &#8220;I&#8217;m ready for anything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rozenstruik landed a crisp left hook on a counter early in the first round.  Volkov, though, pressed forward and landed those big shots when he saw Rozenstruik&#8217;s back toward the cage.<\/p>\n<p>Volkov (35-10) has won two of his past three fights.  Most recently, the fighter from Russia lost via second-round submission to Tom Aspinall at UFC London in March.  Volkov, 33, has a 9-4 UFC record and is a former M-1 heavyweight champion.<\/p>\n<p>Rozenstruik (12-4) has dropped two straight and four of his past six.  The fighter from Suriname has not won since a TKO over Augusto Sakai in June 2021.
