Alexander Volkov enters the main event of UFC Fight Night on Saturday as the favorite against Jairzinho Rozenstruik in a bout between two top-10 heavyweights.
Volkov is the -160 favorite at DraftKings, where he has been backed by 60 percent of the bets and 66 percent of the handle. The same line at BetMGM has seen Volkov backed by only 51 percent of the bets but 75 percent of the handle.
Volkov is ranked No. 7 while Rozenstruik enters the bout at the Apex facility in Las Vegas ranked No. 8.
