Description

UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Volkov (also known as UFC on ESPN+ 42 and UFC Vegas 18) is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that will take place on February 6, 2021 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.

Background:
A heavyweight bout between the 2010 K-1 World Grand Prix Champion, former Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion and UFC Heavyweight Championship challenger Alistair Overeem and former Bellator Heavyweight World Champion Alexander Volkov is expected to serve as the event headliner. A bantamweight bout between Cory Sandhagen and former UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar is expected to take place at the event. Their first meeting was previously scheduled to happen in January 2020 at UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. dos Santos, but Edgar was removed from the fight in favour of a bout against former UFC Featherweight Championship challenger Chan Sung Jung a month earlier at UFC Fight Night: Edgar vs. The Korean Zombie. A flyweight bout between Alexandre Pantoja and former Rizin FF Bantamweight Champion Manel Kape was originally scheduled to take place at UFC Fight Night: Thompson vs. Neal in early December, but Pantoja pulled out of the fight due to COVID-19 sequelae. The pairing was then rescheduled for this event. A bantamweight bout between Merab Dvalishvili and Cody Stamann was originally scheduled to take place at UFC on ESPN: Hermansson vs. Vettori, but Stamann pulled out due to undisclosed reasons and the bout was scrapped. The pairing is now expected to take place at this event. In turn, Dvalishvili was forced to pull out from the bout in mid January due to his COVID-19 recovery and he was replaced by Andre Ewell. Wellington Turman and Aliaskhab Khizriev were scheduled to meet in a middleweight bout at the event. However, Turman withdrew due to pneumonia, and it is unclear at the moment if a replacment will be sought by UFC officials. Steven Peterson was expected to face Seung Woo Choi in a featherweight bout. In turn, Peterson pulled out on January 15 due to an injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer Collin Anglin. Anglin was then pulled from the event for undisclosed reasons and replaced by Youssef Zalal. A women's bantamweight bout between former UFC Women's Flyweight Champion Nicco Montaño and Karol Rosa was scheduled for the event. However, in the weeks leading up to the fight, Montaño was pulled from the event due to undisclosed reasons and replaced by Joselyne Edwards. A bantamweight bout between Julio Arce and Timur Valiev was scheduled for the event. However, Arce was removed from the event in late January due to undisclosed reasons and replaced by Martin Day. Alex da Silva Coelho was expected to face Devonte Smith in a lightweight bout at this event. However, Coelho pulled out due to undisclosed reasons. Smith is now expected to face Justin Jaynes.
