Two real giants of honored Russian fighters. Now they are crushing their rivals in the UFC and PFL arenas. Both have dozens of fights and championship belts of various organizations behind them. Both crushed many foreign legends and stars of mixed martial arts in their path.
But once, 12 years ago. Alexander Volkov and Denis Goltsov were promising young athletes, performing in the arena of one of the leading European and domestic promotions of that time, M-1 Global.
April 28, 2011 at the Yubileiny Sports Palace in St. Petersburg at the international tournament M-1 Challenge 25, their paths crossed. At that time, Alexander Volkov was 22 years old, and Denis Goltsov was only 20 years old. And the first to the belt of the Bellator heavyweight champion still had 8 fights, and the second still 6 years before the title of Honored Master of Sports in SAMBO. But both were eager to fight and understood that this fight could play a big role in their professional career.
