A new contender emerged in the UFC heavyweight division Saturday when Alexander Volkov scored a career-altering knockout of Fabricio Werdum in the UFC Fight Night 127 main event. Volkov (30-6 MMA, 4-0 UFC) shut the lights out on former UFC titleholder Werdum (23-8-1 MMA, 11-5 UFC) when he landed a devastating fourth-round knockout in the UFC Fight Pass-streamed headliner at The O2 in London, further legitimizing himself as a potential title threat. Prior to Volkov’s performance, several others on the main card produced crucial career wins. Jan Blachowicz (22-7 MMA, 5-4 UFC) got some revenge in his co-main event rematch, Tom Duquesnoy (16-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) bounced back from his first UFC loss, and Leon Edwards (15-3 MMA, 7-2 UFC) pushed his winning streak to five. After every event, fans wonder whom the winners will be matched up with next. And with another night of UFC action in the rearview mirror, it’s time to look forward, put on a pair of Sean Shelby and Mick Maynard’s shoes, and play UFC matchmaker for UFC Fight Night 127’s winning fighters
