Check out all the fights announced over the past week in the UFC, Bellator and other promotions.

Fights on Tap is a weekly roundup of all the fights booked in the UFC, Bellator and other promotions.

Get excited: We have plenty to watch in the coming days! Professional Fighters League (PFL) returns for its 2022 Regular Season on Wednesday, ONE Championship hosts another event in Singapore on Friday (Marcus Buchecha vs. ‘Reug Reug’ is off though), Bellator gears up for a championship doubleheader in Hawaii on Friday and Saturday and the UFC rounds out the weekend with UFC Vegas 52 on Saturday.

Before we get to those events, how about a quick rundown of what is ahead of us on the schedule? The UFC either announced or finalized 23 fights this week, with a heavyweight headliner between No. 7 and No. 8 in the division set for the summer.

Jairzinho Rozenstruik was scheduled to return to the Octagon against Marcin Tybura at UFC 273 two weeks ago, but that fight was canceled after ‘Tybur’ fell ill on the eve of the pay-per-view event. ‘Bigi Boy’ revealed he had options for his next appearance, and we now know which one he chose. Brett Okamato of ESPN reported that Rozenstruik and Alexander Volkov are scheduled to headline an upcoming UFC Fight Night on June 4, with a location and venue soon-to-be determined. Both Rozenstruik and Volkov are entering the fight off losses against Curtis Blaydes and Tom Aspinall at UFC 266 and UFC London, respectively.
