A pair of heavyweights will clash in Canada’s capital city.
A bout between Aleksei Oleinik and Walt Harris is targeted for UFC Ottawa on May 4, sources confirmed Tuesday with MMA Fighting. ESPN was the first to report the news.
Oleinik (57-11-1) is on a roll right now, winning two straight. Most recently, the Ukraine native, who currently lives and trains in Florida, defeated Mark Hunt by first-round submission in the main event of UFC Moscow. Oleinik, 41, has won 15 of his last 17 fights and carved out a solid position in the UFC heavyweight division 23 years into his pro MMA career.
