This weekend in Saint Petersburg, we have just the second UFC card to ever come to Russia. Headlining the card was supposed to be one of Russia’s top heavyweights in Alexander Volkov against fellow top heavyweight, Alistair Overeem. That fight was scratched, and we had another top Russian heavyweight take the offer against Alistair, Aleksei Oleinik. We also have the return of Magomed Mustafaev, and the so-called younger version of Khabib Nurmagomedov, Islam Makhachev, fighting the 22 year old phenom Arman Tsarukyan, who’s 13-1 and avenged his only defeat. We may not have the most star power on this card, but this card has elite fighters in every single fight scheduled, just tune in to see. Fight Card and Start Times posted below:
