I’m Ready to Fight Volkov or Pavlovich as Soon as Tomorrow: Kuniev

Russian fighter Rizvan Kuniev responded to whether he would accept an offer from the UFC to fight compatriots Alexander Volkov and Sergei Pavlovich.

Each of them wants to be a champion, just like me; they train every day and make plans… If the UFC puts them against me, I will definitely not refuse. I have no personal relationships with either of them, so if the offer comes, I am ready to fight as soon as tomorrow.

As a reminder, Kuniev is set to fight Curtis Blaydes at the UFC event in Baku on June 21.

Initially, Kuniev and Blaydes were scheduled to fight in February at UFC Fight Night 252, but their bout was later postponed to the March UFC 313 event after the American withdrew due to health issues.

Kuniev has a record of 12 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw, with one fight ruled as no contest. Blaydes boasts 18 wins and 5 losses, along with one fight declared as no contest.
