Taking main event status tonight, a potential heavyweight title-eliminator between the #3 ranked contender, Ciryl ‘Bon Gamin’ Gane and the #5 rated challenger, Alexander ‘Drago’ Volkov — as the victor attempts to move closer toward their premier title challenge under the promotion’s banner.
Undefeated as a professional with an 8-0 record, Gane most recently featured at UFC Vegas 20 in February of this year, where he scored a unanimous decision win over Suriname striker, Jairzinho ‘Bigi Boy’ Rozenstruik. The victory came as the Frenchman’s fifth consecutive Octagon win, following prior successes against former heavyweight champion, Junior dos Santos, and Tanner Boser.
Volkov, the victor of the Bellator heavyweight world championship back in December of 2012, has also managed to take home the M-1 Global heavyweight throne back in February of 2016.
Approaching his 10. outing under the UFC’s banner, Volkov most recently managed to score a second round knockout victory over decorated Dutch kickboxer, Alistair Overeem back in February at UFC Vegas 18.
