Russian UFC fighter Alexander Volkov talked about his acting career

He made his screen debut fifteen years ago.

Probably few people know that the Russian heavyweight UFC Alexander Volkov has not only fighting experience, but also acting experience.

In 2008-2009, he took part in the filming of the popular detective series "Trace". How did that happen?

"My trainer told me that the studio was looking for a guy doing martial arts. So I went. Nothing supernatural, but I got five thousand rubles ($176). Is that a lot or a little? I was a student then, so it was normal for me," the athlete recalls.

According to the fighter, on his first day of filming, he was filmed for several hours straight as he was sent to the knockout scene, as he fell in the ring and bled to death.

"The hardest part for me was that I had to wear boxing shoes. They were a very small size, and I had big feet. I struggled, but in the end it all worked out well" the fighter said of his participation in the TV series "Trace".
