“I had a long pause between performances, and I am glad that something concrete appeared and the fight was appointed. The fighter from the top 15 will definitely be my rival, so the fight will not be easy,” said Oleynik.
The 41-year-old fighter signed a contract with the UFC for eight fights. At the organization's tournaments, he spent eight fights, six of which he won. Oleynik held the last bout in Moscow in September 2018, beating the Australian Mark Hunt by submission in the first round.
