5 fighters to look out for at UFC Fight Night: Volkov vs. Rozenstruik

#2. Movsar Evleov

UFC 257: Evleov striking Lentz

Movsar Evleov has compiled quite the undefeated record for himself and has done so in impressive fashion. With seven of his wins coming by way of stoppages, the Russian prospect is one for fans to keep their sights on come fight night.

In what is a fight that's sure to deliver, Dan Ige looks to impede the advance of his 28-year-old adversary. '50K' is the furthest thing from an easy fight and could very well be the future champion himself, which makes this bout all the more exciting.

However, Evleov is the surging fighter here and deserves some recognition for it. Going undefeated in this sport is incredibly difficult. Nothing was given to the Russian fighter. He truly deserves the spot he's put himself in and, should he come out victorious, a title eliminator fight will be next for this featherweight contender.

#1. Alexander Volkov

UFC Fight Night: Volkov striking Gane

Enter Alexander Volkov, a tenured heavyweight fighter, a difficult opponent, and one half of the main event's titular bout. Since joining the UFC back in 2016, Volkov has been vascillating between wins and losses, not quite able to put together that streak of performances that would lead him to summit the division.

He's far from done and if he wins come fight night. then he'll still be part of the heavyweight title picture. However, there are no easy fights in the UFC, especially when ranked in the hardest-hitting division of the sport. Volkov will be taking on a feared striker in Jairzinho Rozenstruik.

There's no easy way to put it. The Russian was simply outclassed in his last performance against Tom Aspinall. However, this could be treated as the biggest learning curve of Volkov's career. Should he show up as a new and improved version of himself, then it'll be a rough night for Rozenstruik.
