It looks like Roy Nelson will be making his 19th appearance in the Octagon next month. The veteran heavyweight brawler has inked a contract to meet former Bellator and M-1 champ Alexander Volkov at the UFC on Fox show in Kansas City. Fox Sports broke the news.
Nelson (22-13, 9-9 UFC) is coming off a knockout victory over Antonio Silva in Brazil last September. The 41-year-old is 3-6 in his last nine fights, albeit against top competition.
Volkov (27-6, 1-0 UFC) made his UFC debut in November, narrowly defeating Timothy Johnson by controversial split decision.
