The UFC Apex in Las Vegas plays host to a big main event pitting No. 5-ranked Alistair Overeem against No. 6-ranked Alexander Volkov on Saturday, Feb. 6.
It's a former Strikeforce heavyweight champion against a former Bellator heavyweight kingpin, with the winner of the UFC Fight Night main event standing a serious chance of challenging for the UFC's version later on in 2021.
Overeem has won four of his last five and comes into the bout off the back of two wins via stoppage, while Volkov has split his last four evenly down the win-loss column, though he did halt Walt Harris in Round 2 of his last outing.
With a real 'pick-em' headliner and a decent undercard, the UFC's first event since the huge PPV pitting Conor McGregor against Dustin Poirier for a second time should be a fun watch.
