UFC Vegas 56 preview: Hard hitting heavyweights top the card

After a week off, the UFC isn’t exactly coming back with a bang. That isn’t to say the main event between Alexander Volkov and Jairzinho Rozenstruik is a bad fight. In fact, I’d say it’s a perfectly acceptable Fight Night main event. The reason why I’m hesitant about giving it a solid endorsement is it doesn’t feel like a fight we need to see over the course of five rounds. It’s rare when heavyweight contests definitively remain entertaining over the course of five rounds. Then again, I supposed Rozenstruik delivered one of the greatest fifth round finishes in UFC history and Volkov was on the receiving end of one of he greatest last moment finishes as well.
