UFC heavyweights Alistair Overeem and Alexander Volkov will be headlining the fight card for UFC Fight Night 184. The event is set to take place on the 6th of February and will be streamed live on ESPN+.
Alistair Overeem has clearly stated on various occasions that he is currently on his last title run. Riding high on a two-fight winning streak, Overeem believes that if he emerges victorious on Saturday night, he deserves another title shot. The Demolition Man has also revealed that he will retire from the sport altogether if he secures the heavyweight strap.
If Overeem secures a victory over Volkov come Saturday night, it is very likely that the UFC will give the Reem his last title shot. The belt will be on the line at UFC 260, which is only a month from Saturday. Overeem plans on vacating the belt a couple of weeks after he gets a hold of it.
Meanwhile, Alexander Volkov's last appearance was at UFC 254, where he secured a TKO victory over Walt Harris in round two. If Volkov manages to defeat Overeem this Saturday, his name will certainly be in the mix of the top heavyweight contenders.
