The UFC has a main event for the Fight Night event in the Netherlands and it’s a going to be a slugfest that probably won’t last long as it features two heavy hitters. The UFC announced on Saturday morning that Dutch heavyweight Stefan Struve will fight Alexander Volkov in the main event of the upcoming event. It will be a five-round bout.

This is a fight that both fighters want as they have been openly campaigning for the matchup and now they will get it. Struve has taken to social media as of late to respectfully express his interest in facing Volkov, who willingly obliged. This is going to be a big fight literally as Struve stands 7-foot tall while Volkov stands 6-foot-7 Volkov.

Struve (28-8) is coming into this fight on a two fight winning streak after beating Daniel Omielanczuk this past October in England and scoring a 16-second knockout win over Antonio Silva at UFC Fight Night 87 in May 2016

On the flip side, Volkov (28-6) brings a four fight winning streak to the matchup. The former Bellator heavyweight champion holds wins over Roy Nelson and Timothy Johnson, as well as M-1 Challenge victories over Attila Vegh and Denis Smoldarev in his last four bouts.

The event will take place on Saturday, September 2nd at Ahoy Rotterdam and is expected to air on the UFC’s streaming service, UFC Fight Pass.

The UFC continues to add bouts to the UFC on FOX 24 card, and the latest bout just got a little bit bigger as a heavyweight fight has been announced for the event.

UFC officials announced on Tuesday afternoon that fan favorite Roy Nelson (22-13) would take on former Bellator champion Alexander Volkov (27-6) at the event.

After dropping five of his last six bouts, Nelson has had a resurrection of sorts and has won two of his past three. He is coming off of a second-round knockout win over Antonio Silva last September in Brazil. While Nelson’s UFC record (9-9) sits at .500, he has fought the best heavyweights the UFC can offer in that span, as his losses have come to Derrick Lewis, Mark Hunt, Junior dos Santos, Frank Mir, Fabricio Werdum, Stipe Miocic, Daniel Cormier, Alistair Overeem and Josh Barnett.

Volkov has won three straight fights, including his latest bout (his UFC debut) in November at UFC Fight Night 99 in Northern Ireland, where he took a split decision from Timothy Johnson.

UFC on FOX 24 takes place April 15 at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo. It will be the promotion’s first visit to the state. The main card will air on FOX while the prelims will air on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass. Demetrious Johnson vs. Wilson Reis for the flyweight title will headline this event. Here is the updated card as it currently rates:

Champ Demetrious Johnson vs. Wilson Reis – for flyweight title

Ronaldo Souza vs. Robert Whittaker

Renato Moicano vs. Jeremy Stephens

Roy Nelson vs. Alexander Volkov

Tim Elliott vs. Louis Smolka
