Two of the UFC’s more popular heavyweights are set to collide on March 26, that is according to bjpenn’s Cole Shelton. He reports that the UFC have booked Ilir Latifi vs. Aleksei Oleinik for their UFC Columbus card.
Latifi, now 38, moved up to the heavyweight division in 2020 after exhausting his potential at light heavyweight. His UFC heavyweight debut was a decision loss to Derrick Lewis at UFC 247.
He rebounded from that disappointment with a split decision win over Tanner Boser at the UFC APEX last June.
