UFC Vegas 56: ‘Volkov vs. Rozenstruik’ Live Results and Highlights

The Octagon remains in Nevada for tonight’s UFC Vegas 56 event, a fourteen-bout fight card headlined by Alexander Volkov vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik.

Volkov (34-10 MMA) will enter the contest looking to rebound, this after suffering a first round submission loss to Tom Aspinall in his most recent effort. Prior to that setback, the former Bellator champion was coming off a decision win over Marcin Tybura at UFC 267.

Meanwhile, Jairzinho Rozenstruik (12-3 MMA) is returning to action for the first time since being defeated by Curtis Blaydes at September’s UFC 266 event. That setback was preceded by a first round TKO victory over Augusto Sakai.

UFC Vegas 56 is co-headlined by a men’s featherweight contest featuring Dan Ige taking on Movsar Evloev.

Ige (15-5 MMA) enters the bout looking to snap a two-fight losing skid. The Hawaiian standout is coming off back-to-back decision defeats to Josh Emmett and Chan Sung Jung.

Meanwhile, Movsar Evloev (15-0 MMA) currently boasts an undefeated professional record which includes five straight wins under the UFC banner. The Russian standout was last seen in action at UFC 263, where he defeated Hakeem Dawodu.

The UFC Vegas 56 prelims are headlined by a women’s strawweight fight featuring Karolina Kowalkiewicz taking on Felice Herrig. The pair previously met at UFC 223 in April of 2018, with the ‘Polish Princess’ emerging victorious on points.
