One of the young lions of the Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight division now stands before Alexander Volkov.
The former Bellator MMA and M-1 Global titleholder will confront Tom Aspinall in the UFC Fight Night 204 main event on Saturday at the O2 Arena in London. Volkov enters the cage having won 10 of his past 13 bouts. The 6-foot-7 Russian last competed at UFC 267, where he laid claim to a three-round unanimous decision over Marcin Tybura on Oct. 30. Aspinall, meanwhile, finds himself on a seven-fight winning streak.
