Everything you need to know about UFC Fight Night Vegas 3, which features a showdown between Curtis Blaydes vs. Alexander Volkov as the main event.

The race for a heavyweight title shot takes place on June 20 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, when Curtis Blaydes takes on Alexander Volkov in the main event of UFC on ESPN.

The two big men top a 12-fight card as the UFC continues to hold events without fans due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Blaydes is riding a three-fight winning streak with victories over Justin Willis, Shamil Abdurakhimov and Junior dos Santos. After suffering a knockout loss to Francis Ngannou, the No. 3 ranked heavyweight is possibly a fight or two away for competing for the title. 

Volkov is looking to derail Blaydes' plans and become a contender himself. The Russian has won seven of eight fights, including a unanimous decision over Dan Hardy his last time out. The 31-year-old is ranked No. 7 by the UFC in the heavyweight division and has an opportunity to put his name into the top tier of heavyweights in the UFC.

The co-main event is an exciting featherweight showdown between the heavy-handed Josh Emmett and the surging Shane Burgos.
