The 32-year-old earned his title shot after wins over Abus Magomedov and Nassourdine Imavov.
Sean Strickland celebrates after defeating Israel Adesanya to claim the UFC middleweight title by unanimous decision.
At the sold-out Qudos Bank Arena, Strickland landed several stinging punches to the head and had Adesanya on the back foot throughout. The 32-year-old attempted to play to his strengths of wrestling and striking from close range in a bid to produce a major upset. Adesanya threatened to take control in round three before Strickland landed a left hook as the fight went the distance.
With a 12cm height advantage, Russian Volkov confirmed his favouritism by submitting Tuivasa with an Ezekiel choke in the second round, pinning his opponent to the ground with his right arm around the neck.
