A match up between two ranked heavyweights will take place at UFC 254 this October when Alexander Volkov faces off against Walt Harris.
First reported to Russian news outlet Sports.ru before later being confirmed by sources to ESPN that the bout would be joining the line-up at UFC 254 to be headlined by Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Justin Gaethje.
Coming off the main event loss to Curtis Blaydes, Volkov now looks to re-enter the win column. Upon his entry into the UFC Volkov looked to be on a fast track to the title defeating five opponents in a row including former Heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum.
This win streak ended when he came up against Derek Lewis who found the knockout blow ten seconds before the end of the fight that looked to have been in favor of Volkov. After taking some time off Volkov returned to face UFC newcomer Greg Hardy. In this bout, he dominated hardy winning a decision.
Harris is also coming off a loss, this came in the main event bout against Alistair Overeem. After facing some tragic times in his personal life, Harris was looking to enter back into the octagon and continue on the winning streak that had seen him enter the top ten rankings. Unfortunately, this is not what happened instead, Harris’s losing streak was over after being TKO’d by Overeem in the second round.
The card is to be headlined with a title unification bout between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Justin Gaethje. Returning after the tragic passing of his father, Khabib is looking to keep his undefeated record while closing what seems to be the second to last fight of his career. Gaethje, after defeating Tony Ferguson to become the interim champion at UFC 249 is looking to gain his first unified title in the UFC by taking out the undefeated Russian.

Overeem returned to the win column with an impressive come-from-behind second-round TKO victory over Walt Harris in the event’s headliner on Saturday night.

Alistair Overeem isn’t giving up on becoming a UFC champion.
Overeem returned to winning ways with an impressive come-from-behind TKO victory over Walt Harris in the UFC Florida headliner last night.
It capped off a solid night for Overeem who turned 40 at midnight and has now won three of his last four outings.
And although he is now in his forties, the former title challenger is still hoping for another run at the UFC heavyweight title in what he believes to be the last phase of his mixed martial arts career.
“We’re still hunting for the title,” Overeem said in the UFC Florida post-fight press conference (via MMA Fighting). “I would say also I’m in the last phase of my career.
So those two things are a little bit on my mind. Finish the career and one more run at the title.”
Overeem’s first and only attempt at the title came when he challenged Stipe Miocic for the strap at UFC 203 back in September 2016. Although he dropped the Cleveland native, Overeem was unable to finish him off and ended up suffering a first-round knockout.
With one or two more solid wins, “The Reem” could find himself in a position to challenge for the title once again.
That said, the division is a bit log-jammed at the moment.
Do you think Overeem will get another chance at the title?
