MAIN EVENT - Heavyweight Bout

ALISTAIR OVEREEM VS. ALEXANDER VOLKOV

In the main event of UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Volkov, two heavyweights will clash in a 5-round bout to determine the division’s #2.

Alistair Overeem, the seasoned veteran, will most likely look to take the Russian Alexander Volkov into deep waters and win in the championship rounds, whereas his opponent, Volkov, will look for an early KO.

This is a fight where I see Overeem having the space to grapple and clinch, something that will favor him going into the later rounds. While technically sound on the feet, Volkov does not possess that first-round KO power as Francis Ngannou or Jairzinho Rozenstruik, so I think Overeem’s veteran experience will earn him this win.

Alistair Overeem by KO/TKO/DQ in Round 5 (+3300 - BetMGM)

CO-MAIN EVENT: Bantamweight Bout

CORY SANDHAGEN VS. FRANKIE EDGAR

In the co-main event of UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Volkov we’ve got another veteran-vs-prospect-bout on our hands.

Cory Sandhagen, 28, faces 11-year older Frankie Edgar, 39, in a bantamweight bout scheduled for 3 rounds.

Outside of a first-round submission loss to Aljamain Sterling in 2020, Sandhagen has remained unbeaten in the UFC octagon and scored a devastating second-round KO destruction of Marlon Moraes the last time we saw him compete.

While Edgar got the W in his bantamweight debut, I feel like his home is still at featherweight, and jumping divisions at this point in his career seems like a desperation sign. Sandhagen isn’t even at the peak of his career yet and is already producing fight-of-the-night-worthy finishes over top-ranked opponents in his division.

Edgar might get the youngster down, but the bigger man will scramble back to his feet as we’ve seen him do before.

Sandhagen vs. Edgar Prediction

Prediction: Cory Sandhagen on points (-105 - BetMGM)

ALEXANDRE PANTOJA VS. MANEL KAPE

Pantoja vs. Kape in the UFC flyweight division.

Both fighters have shown that they can compete at a high level of MMA, but one more so than the other. This will be Kape’s UFC debut, and fighting established Alexandre Pantoja isn’t exactly the best matchup you could ask for.

Pantoja is 6-3 in the UFC, losing only to top competition such as Deiveson Figueiredo and unbeaten Askar Askarov.

I really don’t see Manel Kape being able to hang with Pantoja, who is the more proven fighter in every way. His well-roundedness also makes him one of the top guys in the flyweight division.

Prediction: Alexandre Pantoja on points (+310 - BetMGM)

CODY STAMANN VS. ASKAR ASKAR

Wrestler Cody Stamann was supposed to face technical striker Andre Ewell in the UFC featherweight division, but COVID-19 changed those plans, and now he's set to face UFC newcomer Askar Askar.

With a pro record of 11 wins and 1 defeat, Askar is not one to lose frequently. He will face Stamann on less than a week's notice. Askar is 26 years old.

Stamann’s gameplan is always clear: get a hold of the legs and drag the fight to the mat. Askar will have to keep the fight on the feet and find success there.

In my book, the wrestler will always have the advantage over the striker, and I don’t think this fight will go against that narrative.

Askar has been taken down before in fights, and Stamann’s strength is something to behold, even at the smaller weight classes.

I don’t see the grappler losing here.

Prediction: Cody Stamann by Submission (+650 - BetMGM)

DIEGO FERREIRA VS. BENEIL DARIUSH

This is a rematch between two very established fighters in the UFC lightweight division. Since their last fight in 2014, Beneil has made the walk 14 times, amassing a 10-3-1 record. Diego, on the other hand, has fought 7 times since the first meeting, losing only to top contender Dustin Poirier, thereby giving him a combined record of 6-1.

While Ferreira has looked beyond impressive as of late, recently scoring a slick second-round submission over Anthony Pettis, Dariush one the first fight easily, so I can’t pick against him in the rematch.

Prediction: Beneil Dariush on points (+350 - BetMGM)

On Saturday at UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Volkov, Alistair Overeem will enter the Octagon for the 20th time under the UFC banner. He'll also appear in his fifth straight main event when he squares off against Alexander Volkov in a matchup of ranked heavyweights. Their clash tops the UFC fight card from the promotion's Apex facility in Las Vegas, with the main card set for 8 p.m. ET. The 40-year-old and fifth-ranked Overeem told the media this week he believes he is more fit and dangerous than he has ever been.

Overeem will put that statement to the test against the sixth-ranked Volkov, a 32-year-old Russian who has four stoppages among his eight UFC victories. Volkov is a -200 favorite (risk $200 to win $100), while Overeem is a +170 underdog in the latest UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Volkov odds at William Hill Sportsbook. Before locking in any MMA picks of your own, make sure you see what SportsLine analyst Kyle Marley has to say, considering the epic run he's on.

Marley won the first-ever 'ToutMaster' UFC betting contest sponsored by MMAOddsBreaker and appears regularly on multiple MMA betting and daily Fantasy shows. He watches every single fight for every professional MMA card and does extensive research before each event.

Over the past 24 months, $100 bettors who have followed Marley's MMA picks are up more than $22,000. The accomplished MMA analyst heads into 2021 on the heels of a memorable run in 2020 that saw him hit on 24 of his last UFC 34 main-event selections, a stretch that included a streak of five straight underdogs.

Marley started 2021 off on a winning note by telling SportsLine members to support former featherweight champion Holloway (-160) against rising contender Calvin Kattar (+140) in the main event of UFC Fight Night three weeks ago. Anyone who has consistently followed Marley is way up.

Now, with UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Volkov fast approaching, Marley has carefully studied every matchup on the card, identified the best value in the UFC odds and released his UFC picks for every fight. Those selections are only available here.

UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Volkov preview

Marley knows the main event will play a major role in the future of a heavyweight division that has stagnated of late but should see plenty of action in 2021. Champion Stipe Miocic hasn't fought since beating Daniel Cormier to win their memorable trilogy last August. The champion is scheduled to take on top-ranked contender Francis Ngannou in March, and the winner of Saturday's main event should have a case for the next title bout.

Overeem (47-18-1) has come up short against both Miocic and Ngannou and would welcome a rematch with either. He had Miocic in trouble early before the volunteer firefighter turned the tables and earned a stoppage in their September 2016 title fight. The 40-year-old Dutch fighter also was memorably knocked out by Ngannou in December 2017.

Even so, the former Strikeforce heavyweight champion has won four of his past five bouts, all against upper-tier competition. He swept both of his 2020 bouts and is coming off an impressive fifth-round stoppage of prospect Augusto Sakai last September.

Overeem faces a similarly well-rounded opponent in Volkov (32-8), who already has notched wins against the likes of former champion Fabricio Werdum and fellow prospect Greg Hardy.

The 32-year-old former Bellator heavyweight champion split two bouts last year. He lost a close decision against second-ranked Curtis Blaydes before rebounding for a second-round finish in October against Walt Harris, who was in the top 10 at the time of their bout. You can see Marley's coveted Volkov vs. Overeem picks here.

UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Volkov predictions

We'll reveal one of Marley's UFC Fight Night picks here: He is backing Manel Kape (+115) to earn a stoppage against Alexandre Pantoja (-135) in a matchup of flyweight contenders.

Pantoja (22-5) is currently ranked No. 5 in the division. He has lost two of his past three bouts but has still won four of his last six overall. In July 2019, he lost a decision against Deiveson Figueiredo, who has since gone on to become the division's champion. The 30-year-old Brazilian is looking to bounce back from a decision loss against Askar Askarov in July.

Kape (15-4) is making his UFC debut, but the promotion's brass has been so impressed by him that they immediately paired him against a top-five contender. The heavy-handed Angola native comes to the UFC on the strength of three consecutive knockout victories in the Rizin promotion.

'Kape is dangerous on his feet, and I give him the edge there. He might even be the first to knock Pantoja out if this fight stays standing,' Marley told SportsLine. 'I will lean with the underdog to win a striking battle.'
