No details for now
Russian mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Alexei Oleinik will replace his compatriot Alexander Volkov in a fight with the Dutchman Alistair Overim at a UFC show in St. Petersburg, a source close to the organization told RIA Novosti.
Initially, the battle between Volkov and Overeem was to become the main fight of the UFC tournament, which will be held on April 20 in the “Jubilee”.
At the first ever UFC tournament in Russia, Oleinik in September in Moscow won an early victory over the New Zealander Mark Hunt.
In the asset of Oleinik, representing the team "Archangel Michael", 57 victories with 11 defeats, Overee won 44 victories and suffered 17 failures.
At the same time, the battle between Oleynik and American Walt Harris, scheduled for May 4 in Canada, will not take place.

Olenik is such an entertaining fight...lock up with him and you might not ever get free and he will choke you with freaky technique and crazy grappling strength

Who did you have winning before? Should of been easy work for overeem but the wind from volkovs punches probably would of got the ko
Russian sounds like English backwards. I like this fight!
In an interview, Alexey Oleinik told about how the battle against Alistair Overeem was signed, and also assessed the level of his rival
“I myself do not exactly know how it happened. 10-12 hours ago, they wrote to me from the UFC: are I ready to fight with Overeem in the main battle of the tournament in St. Petersburg. I did not think long - and almost immediately agreed. Then they sent me a contract - and a few hours ago I signed it. I repeat: there was no doubt. Because if you choose between Alistar Overeem and Walt Harris, the choice is obvious. The fight with Overeem is more honorable: for many years he has been in the top 10 fighters of the world, he is a former K-1 champion, he defeated many famous fighters ”
“At one time we trained with Overeem, and I almost never managed to take him down. Trademark strangulation on him, too, could not be done. There are two weeks to figure out how to beat him. ”
"Here, from the extraordinary, I only get the name of the opponent. Why they offered it to me - probably because I told the UFC from September 2018 that I was ready to go to any fight and any substitution if they needed an opponent versus a top 10 fighter. This is the chance that appeared. A very interesting challenge awaits me. Moreover, with the change of the opponent, everything changed: minus two weeks to prepare, instead of a left-hander right-hander, instead of an opponent who does not beat with his knees, an opponent who has very dangerous knees. That is, what I have been cooking for a long time for Walt Harris will not work at all in a fight with Overeem. ”
“When I hear this question, I immediately see a scene from the movie“ Troy ”. "I saw your rival: he is terrible, huge, I would never go against him." - "Because of that you will live your life as the unknown". I am almost 42 years old. All my life I took challenges. This is the path of a normal strong fighter. He relentlessly goes forward no matter what"
This is a really interesting fight. I think that the combination of overeem's experience, craftiness, and striking skills, it's going to be a little bit too much for Olinik to overcome on short notice this time, though.

Cool to hear Oleinik be so honest about the times he trained with Overeem. It does make me think he’s going to have even less chance against him than I originally thought though, which wasn’t great to begin with.
Olenik can take a shot and his cardio is pretty good. That said, I don't see how he gets Overeem to the ground and they're not even in the same galaxy when it comes to striking.

He could just be talking Overeem up.
