The main card fight between Alexander Volkov and Jailton Almeida carries the weight of a quiet eliminator for future heavyweight title contention.
Alexander Volkov has been here before. Tested by some of the best in the division, he recently pushed Ciryl Gane to a split decision that could have gone either way. Volkov’s experience and striking discipline make him a formidable opponent.
On the other hand, Jailton Almeida thrives in chaos and grappling exchanges. The Brazilian has stormed through the heavyweight division with relentless takedowns, top pressure, and impressive finishes. Almeida has earned eight UFC wins while absorbing minimal damage, showcasing his strength and skill inside the Octagon.
Volkov’s long frame and striking prowess could present a frustrating challenge for Almeida, especially if Almeida struggles to close the distance. This dynamic sets the stage for an intriguing clash between two fighters with contrasting styles.
