Welcome to F4WOnline.com’s live coverage of UFC on ESPN 11: Blaydes vs. Volkov, emanating from the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Octagon remains at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas for the fourth straight week, this time with a deep card headlined by heavyweights looking to get themselves into title shot talk.

The five-round headliner will see third-ranked Curtis Blaydes take on seventh-ranked Alexander Volkov as both are looking to earn a title shot. Blaydes has won three straight fights and has said he is willing to sit out and wait if he gets by Volkov. Volkov has gone 5-1 since joining the UFC roster, and a win over Blaydes would shoot him right into contention.

Also on the main card is a women’s bantamweight bout between Raquel Pennington and Marion Reneau, a welterweight bout between Belal Muhammad and Lyman Good, and the main card opener sees Jim Miller in his 35th UFC bout as he takes on Roosevelt Roberts.

Also on the preliminary card is a women’s flyweight bout as Tecia Torres looks to get back into the win column against Brianna Van Buren, a pivotal women’s flyweight bout between Roxanne Modafferi and Lauren Murphy, and the night kicks off with the UFC debut of arguably the best prospect in the sport, Max Rohskopf.
