UFC 229: Conor vs. Khabib is already expected to set MMA PPV records, but it appears a heavyweight fight between Derrick Lewis and Alexander Volkov may serve as the co-main event of the evening.
ESPN.com first reported the possible heavyweight scrap and MMAjunkie later confirmed.
Lewis (20-5) is the #2 ranked heavyweight in the world. The only man ranked higher than him is the recently dethroned Stipe Miocic. The Houston native is riding a two-fight win streak. With an impressive win over Volkov Lewis could find himself as the next man up for Daniel Cormier’s heavyweight belt.
Volkov has been on a terror since entering the UFC. He is on an impressive six-fight win streak with the last four coming inside the octagon. He most recently picked apart Fabricio Werdum en route to a fourth-round TKO stoppage over the former champion. A win over Lewis would all but assures the Russian a crack at the heavyweight title.
UFC 229 takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on Oct. 6, 2018.
Here is the card so far with the rumored Lewis vs. Volkov fight:
Yana Kunitskaya vs. Lina Länsberg
Sergio Pettis vs. Jussier Formiga
Derrick Lewis vs. Alexander Volkov
Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Conor McGregor

Following a recent decision made by USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency), former UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos is eligible to compete immediately after the third-party testing organization deemed that Dos Santos’ 2017 failed drug test stemmed from a contaminated supplement.
Dos Santos hasn’t competed since suffering a thunderous first-round knockout to reigning titleholder Stipe Miocic at UFC 211 last May in Dallas, Texas. He was then scheduled to take on feared contender Francis Ngannou late last year, but that bout fell through following his failed drug test.
Now ready to return, the Brazilian has a few options on the table, but he appears to be most interested in a fight with rising contender Alexander Volkov:
“I had already closed a deal to fight Ngannou before all this happened,” Dos Santos told Combate. “He could be an option, but I think he has another fight. A rematch with Overeem could be nice, but I think he has a fight, too. I also don’t think he’d take that fight. There’s Werdum, actually there’s not, he wouldn’t take it. But I think there’s Alexander Volkov, he’s climbing the division and has no fights scheduled. That would be a perfect match-up. I know he wants to fight for the belt, so I’ll give him that feeling of what it’s like to fight for the belt.”
Volkov, a former Bellator heavyweight champion, has won four-straight fights since signing with the UFC. That streak includes decision victories over Timothy Johnson and Roy Nelson as well as highly impressive stoppage victories over Stefan Struve and Fabricio Werdum.
Dos Santos, meanwhile, had split wins and losses over his previous six bouts before meeting Miocic. That stretch included victories over Mark Hunt, Miocic and Ben Rothwell in addition to losses to Cain Velasquez and Alistair Overeem.
