Officials have announced the updated lineup for UFC Vegas 18, which takes place at UFC APEX in Las Vegas on Feb. 6. The main event features heavyweight contenders Alistair Overeem (47-18, 1 NC) and Alexander Volkov (32-8), with a bantamweight bout between Cory Sandhagen (13-2) and Frankie Edgar (24-8-1) serving as the co-headliner.
