UFC heads to Russia this coming weekend for Fight Night 149, set for Yubileyny Sports Palace in Saint Petersburg. The main event was supposed to be a heavyweight tilt between Alistair Overeem, former Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion, and Alexander Volkov, former Bellator Heavyweight Champion and the 2010 K-1 World Grand Prix Champion. Volkov had to withdraw because of health issues, though, and Alexey Oleinik has stepped in to replace him. The co-main event is a lightweight bout between Islam Makhachev and Arman Tsarukyan. We have the full card as well as UFC sports betting thoughts about several of the tilts on tap.
