Struve, Volkov agree to giant-sized battle on Twitter
We're going to need a bigger cage.
On Sunday, UFC heavyweights and full-time gigantic human beings Stefan Struve and Alexander Volkov shared a friendly exchange on Twitter in which they agreed to battle each other at some point in the future:
Sounds like a fight then. @ufc can you take care of the paperwork? 😎 @AlexDragoVolkov n myself want to test our skillsets! Respect my man 👊🏻 https://t.co/cbmyXMOjVR

@StefanStruve Of course I can not refuse your challenge.

You'll probably be first my opponent, I'll have to look up, not down as I used too.
With Struve billed at 7-feet and Volkov at 6-foot-7, this matchup looks like it would be of as much interest to NBA commissioner Adam Silver as it is to Dana White. That said, this should be an easy one for UFC officials to put together given the mutual interest of both fighters and the fact that Volkov and Struve are No. 10 and No. 11 in the heavyweight rankings, respectively.
