Another UFC Fight Night event will be held in London and it will be exciting. The former UFC heavyweight champion, Fabricio Werdum, continues his career in search of a new opportunity for the title of the division and this Saturday he will face a tough challenge against the Russian Alexander Volkov, in the main fight of UFC Fight Night London.
UFC: Fabricio Werdum vs. Alexander Volkov will be 'the highlight' this week in the world of contact sports. MMA fans can not miss it as you will follow all the results.
Fabricio Werdum will have his fourth fight in less than a year this Saturday in London, England, when he faces the Russian Alexander Volkov, in the main bout of the UFC Fight Night event that will take place in London, England.
This Friday, the official weighing of this card was carried out. Werdum and Volkov were far from the full weight limit of 265 pounds, with 249 pounds for the former Brazilian champion and 246 for the Russian. Werdum put a bit of humor into the weigh-in, because he climbed on a chair to appear taller than the Russian 6 foot 7 fighter.
Werdum showed dominance by facing another 6.7-foot fighter before (Travis Browne) winning the stand-up fight before. On the other hand, for many years the Russian has not lost by submission, but if the fight is on the floor, Werdum has a high hand.
After losing his belt in UFC 198, Werdum did not remain lamenting, on the contrary, he undertook the only possible way, to fight until they give him again the opportunity to the title, and that he continues doing. Taking even great risks, because his fight against Alexander Volkov in London this Saturday, as the victories he had against Marcin Tybura in Australia and Walt Harris in Las Vegas, do not leave anything to the former champion.

Check out the main highlights of UFC London, which takes place this Saturday (17) in the English capital.
Main fight: Fabricio Werdum (23-7-1) vs. Alexander Volkov (29-6)
One of UFC's most active heavyweights (up to 120 kg), Werdum has yet another challenge to challenge the Stipe Miocic belt - even at the age of 40.
After fighting (and winning) in October and November 2017, now the gaucho faces the Russian giant Volkov, who comes from five consecutive victories. From the top of his 2-meter-high, the 29-year-old European has heavy hands as a strong point.
There are 19 wins by knockout, the last over Dutchman Stefan Struve in September. It is not difficult to imagine that the strategy of the Brazilian will be to shorten the distance to overturn, since on the ground the technical difference is also gigantic.
Tom Duquesnoy (15-2) vs. Terrion Ware (17-7)
With two straight losses in the Octagon, American Ware was pitched in his third Ultimate fight. The Frenchman Duquesnoy, known as Fire Kid, is one of the bets of the event for the weights (up to 61 kg).
Nocauteador and with dangerous finishes, he is sure of an exciting fight.

The English event card is not one of the best, but some fights have good potential. One of them is between Afghan Nasrat Haqparast (8-2) and Englishman Nad Marimani (10-2).
Trained by Curitiba-born Rafael Cordeiro at Kings MMA, as well as Werdum, Haqparast was defeated in his UFC debut in October last year. The lightweight (up to 70 kg) wants to recover against an opponent placed at the last minute in the event.
Marimani replaces Alex Reyes with just one week in advance. The Briton has a good retrospective at local events promises to seize the opportunity.
