Stefan Struve vs. Alexander Volkov headlines the UFC’s return to the Netherlands

The UFC will return to the Netherlands in September with a heavyweight showdown featuring local favorite Stefan Struve against rising contender Alexander Volkov.

UFC officials announced the new pairing on Saturday.

Struve (28-8) will enter his latest UFC main event off a two fight win streak, including victories over former title challenger Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva as well as Daniel Omielanczuk.

The 29-year-old heavyweight is a native of the Netherlands, and he’ll look to make his home country proud when he returns on September 2.

Volkov (28-6) has been flawless during his UFC career thus far with a perfect 2-0 record over a pair of very tough heavyweight challengers.
