Alexander Volkov (38-11-0) and Jailton Almeida (22-3-0) will clash in an exciting UFC heavyweight matchup on Saturday night at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. Alexander Volkov will be battling to bounce back from his split decision loss against Ciryl Gane, who will fight Tom Aspinall for the title. “Drago” knows that time is running out to make his mark in the heavyweight division, having failed to secure a title shot.
Jailton Jesus Almeida, on the other side of the Octagon, is a Brazilian mixed martial artist with big title dreams. The 34-year-old joined the franchize in September 2021 via the Dana White Contender Series. Impressively, “Malhadinho” won his first seven assignments before losing to Curtis Blaides via a KO punch at UFC 299. However, he bounced back with two back-to-back wins, the latest being the KO victory against Serghei Spivac earlier this year.
