Volkov was slated to face Junior dos Santos in the main event of the card that will be held at CSKA Arena, but will slide into the co-main event against Hardy, with the fight between Zabit Magomedsharipov and Calvin Kattar promoted to a three-round headliner.
Alexander Volkov vs. Greg Hardy will be the co-main event in Moscow. Nov. 9 main event is now Zabit Magomedsharipov vs. Calvin Kattar, however due to the short notice, it will remain a three-round fight.Hardy originally won his bout against Ben Sosoli on October 18 via unanimous decision, but the result was overturned into a no-contest due to the 31-year-old using an inhaler between the second and third rounds.
He was riding a two-fight winning streak after suffering a DQ loss in his UFC debut for an illegal knee while his opponent Allen Crowder was grounded. Volkov, the No. 7 ranked heavyweight, suffered a third-round KO loss at the hands of Derrick Lewis in his last bout at UFC 229. Before that setback, the 30-year-old was on a six-fight winning streak which included his first four bouts in the UFC.
Dos Santos was reportedly forced out of the fight with a serious bacterial infection in his leg that sent him to the hospital.
