Alexander Volkov’s Outrage Over ‘Bullsh*t’ Split Decision Loss to Ciryl Gane at UFC 310

At UFC 310, Alexander Volkov and Ciryl Gane squared off in a highly anticipated rematch, three years after their first fight. While Gane took home the win by unanimous decision in their initial bout, Volkov believed he had done enough to secure victory this time. However, the judges disagreed, giving Gane the win via a split decision. Volkov immediately voiced his outrage at the post-fight press conference, calling the decision “bullshit.”

Volkov’s Explosive Reaction: ‘I Know I Won’

Alexander Volkov wasted no time expressing his frustration, insisting that he deserved to win the fight. “I did much more than Gane in all the fights,” Volkov proclaimed, pointing to his dominant performance. He couldn’t understand how the judges scored it in favor of Gane, emphasizing that there was no visible damage from Gane’s attacks. “I don’t see any damage from him to me, and I don’t understand why he won the fight,” Volkov added, adamantly rejecting the outcome.

The Surprising Grappling Battle That Left Volkov Confused

While fans expected a thrilling striking battle, the fight also featured substantial grappling exchanges. Gane surprised many by focusing on ground game and submission attempts, while Volkov worked to maintain top position. Despite this, two judges—Adalaide Byrd and Junichiro Kamiko—scored the first two rounds in Gane’s favor, leaving Volkov and his team shocked by the decision.

Volkov Calls Out the Judges: ‘What Were They Watching?’

Volkov couldn’t believe the scoring, especially when he noticed the reaction of Gane’s own corner. “I saw the eyes of his team, and they didn’t expect this,” Volkov said. He felt disrespected by the decision and was convinced that Gane’s team was just as surprised. “He wasn’t like a guy who just walked out from the cage after the decision,” Volkov added, suggesting that even Gane knew the decision was questionable.

Controversial Judge and Historic Blunders: Volkov’s Doubts

To make matters worse, Volkov learned that one of the judges, Adalaide Byrd, was involved in another controversial decision in boxing—Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin. Volkov expressed disbelief at how someone with such a poor judging record could be allowed to decide his fate in the UFC. “I don’t know how it’s possible,” Volkov said. His criticism extended beyond Byrd, questioning the overall quality of judges in both MMA and boxing.

Volkov Blasts the Judging System: ‘She Doesn’t Know the Sport’

Frustrated by what he saw as incompetence, Volkov didn’t hold back in his criticism of the judging system. He questioned how someone without professional training in the sport could be allowed to judge fights. “I don’t understand how a person that is not professionally learned in this sport can either not be re-qualified to judge this sport or just not be f*cking fired,” Volkov raged.

UFC President Dana White Backs Volkov’s Claims

Volkov found some solace in the support of UFC President Dana White, who agreed that the decision was unjust. After the fight, Volkov spoke with White, who used his trademark blunt language to express his disapproval: “He said—sorry for my English—I was ‘fucked up with the judges.’” Volkov appreciated the support but knew that the athletic commission ultimately had the final say.

Appeal in the Works, but Volkov Doubts Outcome

Although Volkov plans to appeal the decision, he expressed doubts that anything would change, acknowledging that commissions rarely overturn decisions unless there is clear evidence of misconduct. Still, Volkov’s team will submit the necessary paperwork in hopes of rectifying the situation.

Conclusion: Volkov’s Fury Reflects a Bigger Issue in Combat Sports

Volkov’s angry response highlights an ongoing issue in combat sports—the flawed judging system. Fighters like Volkov dedicate years of their lives to training and preparation, only to be faced with subjective decisions that can make or break their careers. For Volkov, the UFC 310 loss was not just a personal blow but a glaring example of how inconsistent judging continues to plague both MMA and boxing. Will the judges ever be held accountable for their decisions? Volkov’s frustration shows that this is a problem that needs urgent attention.
