Heavyweight powerhouses will collide at UFC
\n328<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alexander
\nVolkov<\/a> and Waldo
\nCortes-Acosta<\/a> will collide at UFC 328 on May 9 at Prudential
\nCenter in Newark, New Jersey. Leo Guimaraes first reported the
\nbooking on X.<\/p>\n

Volkov is coming off a controversial split decision win over
\nJailton
\nAlmeida<\/a> that saw him rebound from a split decision loss against
\nCiryl
\nGane<\/a>. While Almeida controlled Volkov on the ground throughout
\nthe contest, he was barely able to land any damage. Volkov was
\nriding a four-fight winning streak before his loss against Gane in
\n2024.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Cortes-Acosta is on an impressive run as the most active
\nUFC heavyweight. \u201cSalsa Boy\u201d has fought six times since March 2025,
\nlosing only to Sergei
\nPavlovich<\/a> via decision. The Dominican is currently on a
\nthree-fight knockout streak and coming off a stoppage of Derrick
\nLewis<\/a>.<\/p>\n
