Top-ranked heavyweights Curtis "Razor" Blaydes and Alexander "Drago" Volkov are set to meet in the Octagon this Saturday for the latest UFC Fight Night and we have all the details on how you can watch the event on TV or online in the U.S., Canada, UK and Australia.
Blaydes is currently ranked third in the UFC's heavyweight division and the 29 year old American will put his three-fight winning streak on the line when he takes on Volkov this weekend. The former collegiate wrestler made his debut in the UFC back in 2014 and so far he has won ten fights by knockout. During his last fight at UFC Fight Night back in January, Blaydes managed to knockout Dos Santos during round two.
Volkov on the other hand is currently ranked seventh in the UFC's heavyweight division and the 31 year old Russian will have his work cut out for him on Saturday as the promotion is using a smaller cage at its Apex facility in Las Vegas. He may have joined the UFC two years after Blaydes did but Volkov already has an impressive record with 20 wins by knockout. However, his last win took place in November of last year when he defeated former NFL star Greg Hardy by unanimous decision during round three.
Elsewhere on the card, Josh Emmett will take on Shane Burgos in a featherweight bout, Raquel Pennington will go up against Marion Reneau in a featherweight bout, Belal Muhammad will face off against Lyman Good in a welterweight bout and Jim Miller and Roosevelt Roberts will also meetin in the Octagon for a welterweight bout.
