UFC heavyweight contenders Alexander Volkov and Jairzinho Rozenstruik are scheduled to headline UFC Fight Night on June 4th, UFC officials told ESPN’s Brett Okamoto.
Volkov is currently ranked 7th in the division, one spot ahead of the 8th ranked Rozenstruik. Volkov is coming off a main event loss to Tom Aspinall at last month’s UFC London. Rozenstruik is coming off a loss to Curtis Blaydes at UFC 266 back in September 2021.
Russia’s Alexander Volkov started his professional MMA career competing under the M-1 Global banner. After a solid run in the promotion, he eventually found his way to Bellator in 2012.
