2. Fabricio Werdum vs. Alexander Volkov
UFC Fight Night 127
March 10 | London

Werdum’s road to reclaiming the heavyweight championship runs through the surging Volkov at the O2 Arena. “Vai Cavalo” has gone 9-2 since returning to the Ultimate Fighting Championship in 2012, losing only to Stipe Miocic and Alistair Overeem. Werdum, 40, last fought at UFC Fight Night 121 on Nov. 19, when he was awarded a five-round unanimous decision over former M-1 Global champion Marcin Tybura. One of the greatest heavyweights of all-time, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt owns victories over Cain Velasquez, Fedor Emelianenko, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Mark Hunt. Volkov heads into the match with the wind of a five-fight winning streak in his sails. The 6-foot-7 Russian sports 19 knockouts among his 29 career victories.
