A fight between top heavyweights Curtis Blaydes and Alexander Volkov will headline a UFC Fight Night taking place on June 20th.
The UFC announced the matchup on social media Wednesday. The event on June 20th will be the third card that will take place at the UFC’s Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Blaydes (13-2, 1NC) is currently on a three-fight winning streak. “Razor” knocked out former champion Junior Dos Santos at UFC Raleigh in January, and also picked up wins against Shamil Abdurakhimov and Justin Willis last year. The 29-year-old’s only losses in his career have come against former title challenger Francis Ngannou.
