Heading to Russia for the first time, the UFC made sure to pack the main card with as much sheer size as possible.
Three of the four main card bouts will be contested at 205 pounds or higher, including the headlining fight between heavyweights Mark Hunt and Alexey Oleynik, two veterans who have seen it all in the world of combat sports. In addition to Hunt’s accolades in kickboxing and Oleynik’s grappling exploits, this will be Hunt’s 17th UFC appearance, while Oleynik competes in his 69th MMA bout.
In the co-main event, former UFC light heavyweight contender Nikita Krylov looks to make a return to the Octagon after picking up four impressive finishes competing in Russia and Ukraine.
