69 professional career fights, 45 career submissions victories, UFC Heavyweight title contender, 41 years old -- the stats and facts perfectly summarize Ukrainian-born Russian Alexey Oleinik. ‘The Boa Constrictor’ turned professional in 1996 and has fought for a number of promotions over the course of his incredible 22-year career. M1-Global, IAFC, KSW, Bellator, and now UFC are some of the most noteworthy ones.

He is a 4th Degree Jiu-jitsu Black Belt and International Master of Sports in Combat Sambo holder and has lost only two of his last seventeen fights dating back to 2012. He is currently 8-2 in the UFC (4 Performance of the Night Bonuses) with eminent victories over Jared Rosholt, Travis Browne and most recently against Mark Hunt in September 2018. Currently on a two-fight win streak and ranked 8th in the official UFC heavyweight rankings, Oleinik could be in line for an unlikely UFC Heavyweight title shot if he strings together a few more wins against top 10 contenders.
