Cyril Gane takes on Alexander “Drago” Volkov in a headlining heavyweight bout at UFC Fight Night 190 at UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Saturday, June 26 (6/26/2021).

UFC Fight Night: Gane vs. Volkov, will be broadcast exclusively on ESPN+. The main fight card starts at 4 p.m. ET, with preliminary bouts at 1 p.m. ET.

In the main event, Gane (8-0-0) faces Volkov (33-8-0) in a bout that will set up the winner for a future title shot. Both men are coming off recent wins. The undefeated Gane earned a decision win over Jairzinho Rozenstruik in his first headlining fight in February, while Volkov beat former title challenger Alistair Overeem via TKO.

“I think it will be a matchup of strikers until one of us gives up and tries to turn to wrestling,” Volkov told MMA Junkie. “But I would like to compete with him in striking, because I’m a striker as well. And I want to find out whose kung fu is better.”

DraftKings has Gane at -177 to win, and Volkov at +140.
