Two ranked UFC heavyweights are set to collide July 1. Blagoy Ivanov will meet Romania’s Alexandr Romanov at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Two people with knowledge of the matchup informed MMA Junkie of the booking Thursday but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. A former WSOF champion, Ivanov (19-5 MMA, 3-4 UFC) was signed to the UFC in 2018 and thrown immediately in the deep end with a fight vs. former champion Junior Dos Santos, which he lost by unanimous decision . Since then, Ivanov has mixed results with wins over Ben Rothwell, Tai Tuivasa, and Marcos Rogerio de Lima
