LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC Vegas 18: Overeem vs. Volkov results throughout the afternoon (Sat. 6th. February 2021) from the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Taking main event honours for the fifth consecutive time ahead of the promotion’s return to Las Vegas, Nevada for the first time this year, veteran kickboxing ace, Alistair ‘The Demolition Man’ Overeem draws Russian striker, Alexander ‘Drago’ Volkov in a reworked headlining bout.

Hoping to score his fifth win in six Octagon outings, former Dream and Strikeforce champion and the 2011 K-1 Grand Prix victor, Overeem hopes to finally secure another tilt at UFC gold via a victory over Volkov — capping off arguably the most decorated careeer in heavyweight professional mixed martial arts.

The winner of two straight, the Elevation Fight Team trainee stopped the returning Walt ‘Big Ticket’ Harris at UFC Fight Night Jacksonville in May last, rallying from an early knockdown to stop the Alamaba native with second round ground strikes.

Featuring at the UFC Apex back in September, Overeem survived some dicey moments against the fence when paired with Brazilian upstart, Augusto Sakai, before shrewdly utilising his grappling in the later rounds to setup another eventual stoppage via strikes from the top.

Also making his second appearance at the UFC Apex, Moscow native, Volkov, a former Bellator and M-1 Global champion dropped a unanimous decision defeat to Juco national champion wrestling ace, Overeem’s teammate and common-foe, Curtis Blaydes. Dropping a stunning fourteen takedowns, Volkov did manage to outstrike Blaydes in terms of total strikes over the five round limit, however.

Returning to action and winning ways at UFC 254 in October, Volkov dispatched another common-opponent, taking out Harris again in the second round, this time via a well-placed second round front kick to the body.

Another reworked matchup takes co-main event honours as number-two ranked bantamweight contender, Cory ‘The Sandman’ Sandhagen draws former lightweight champion, Frankie ‘The Answer’ Edgar in a potential 135-pound title-eliminator.

Headlining UFC Fight Island 5 also in October, Sandhagen stopped one-time title chaser, ‘Magic’ Marlon Moraes via a stunning second round wheel kick.

For Edgar, the Toms River favourite finally made his bantamweight bow at UFC Vegas 7 in August, dispatching division mainstay, Pedro ‘The Young Punisher’ Munhoz in a close split decision.

LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC 257: Poirier vs. McGregor II results throughout the afternoon (Sun. 24th. January 2021) from the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Rounding out the promotion’s first pay-per-view event of the year, a pivotal lightweight rematch six-years in the making. Former interim lightweight champion, Dustin ‘The Diamond’ Poirier re-runs his September 2014 matchup with former undisputed featherweight and lightweight titleholder, ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor in a potential 155-pound title-eliminator.

Returning to winning-ways last time out, Lafayette striker, Poirier hopes to make it two wins in two, following a barnburner unanimous decision victory over event co-headliner, Dan ‘The Hangman’ Hooker at UFC Vegas 4 in June last. The American Top Team staple is tasked with avenging at UFC 178 opening round knockout defeat to the Dubliner.

Making his anticipated Octagon return, McGregor returns to the 155-pound weight class as well. The Straight Blast Gym mainstay headlined UFC 246 in January last, taking home a forty-second knockout victory over future Hall of Fame inductee, Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone.

In tonight’s co-main event, the above mentioned Kiwi striker, Hooker rolls out the proverbial welcome mat for former three-time Bellator lightweight gold holder, Michael Chandler who makes his highly-awaited Octagon debut after a ten-year stint under the Scott Coker banner.

Hoping to return to the winner’s enclosure, City Kickboxing standout, Hooker dropped his above noted decision loss to Poirier — snapping a three-fight unbeaten run. The Auckland native had previously taken a close split judging victory over fan-favourite kickboxer, Paul ‘The Irish Dragon’ Felder at UFC Fight Night Auckland in February last on home soil.

Arriving in the UFC, Sanford MMA and Henri Hooft mainstay, Chandler had won two on the trot, notching two first-round knockout victories over Dana White’s Contender Series alum, Sidney Outlaw, as well as a second career win over former WEC and UFC lightweight best, ‘Smooth’ Benson Henderson.
