UFC Vegas 18 live stream: How to watch the UFC fights tonight live (6 February 2021)?

The UFC is back this weekend after a successful 'triple-header fight week' in Abu Dhabi. UFC Vegas 18 will take place at the Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event is set to be headlined by a heavyweight bout between Alistair Overeem and Alexander Volkov.

'The Demolition Man' recently teased his retirement, claiming that he may call it a career after his final run at the heavyweight title. Overeem registered two wins in 2020 following his loss to Jairzinho Rozenstruik in December 2019.

Meanwhile, Overeem's opponent, Alexander Volkov will be hoping to continue his winning momentum when the two face off. The 32-year-old last fought Walt Harris at UFC 254 and secured a second-round TKO victory over his American opponent.

Overeem and Volkov are currently ranked at the 5th and 6th position respectively in the UFC heavyweight rankings. A win for either man could potentially push them into the title picture of the 265-pound division.
