Weekend Preview | UFC Fight Night Overeem vs Volkov | & New Matchup Announcements

Happy Friday Colorado MMA Fans! This is a big weekend for
Colorado fighters as there will be four of them on this weekend’s
UFC Fight Night card with two of them competing in the Main and
Co Main events! So let’s take a look at this coming weekend’s
fight action in your Colorado MMA News, Weekend Preview.


UFC Fight Night goes down this Saturday night and Elevation Fight
Team’s Alistair “The Demolition Man” Overeem (47-18) vs Alexander
Volkov (32-8) is your Main Event in a clash of top 10
heavyweights. Overeem has won two in a row and 4 out of his last
5 fights. He has vowed to make one last run at the UFC
championship title and impressively defeating Volkov on Saturday
night will move him one step closer to achieving his goal.


Cory Sandhagen (13-2) of Elevation Fight Team is fighting his way
back into number one contender status for the bantamweight
division and he will have a great opportunity to further build
the resume this weekend when he takes on the former lightweight
champion, Frankie Edgar (24-8-1) in the Co Main event. Sandhagen
is 6-1 in the UFC and coming into this fight after scoring a
highlight reel wheel kick KO his last time out.


Additionally, Devonte Smith (10-2) of Factory X will make his
much anticipated return from an achilles tendon injury and
surgery to face Justin Jaynes (16-6) at lightweight. Smith is 2-1
in the UFC with two first round knockouts.


Also on the card will be Youssef “The Moroccan Devil” Zalal
(10-3) of Factory X as he faces Seung Woo Choi (8-3) at
featherweight. Zalal is 3-1 in the UFC with three unanimous

first UFC loss his last time out.
