Top 10-ranked UFC Heavyweights will collide at UFC 328.

According to a first report from Leo Guimares, Heavyweight contenders Alexander Volkov and Waldo Cortes-Acosta will collide at UFC 328, which is scheduled for May 9 inside the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Currently, it’s the highest profile bout announced for the still-developing fight card, which will also host matchups like Ateba Gautier vs. Ozzy Diaz and Clayton Carpenter vs. Jose Ochoa.

Sadly, the Heavyweight division remains an uncertain mess at the top level. Champion Tom Aspinall remains sidelined indefinitely by eye injuries, while rumors of Ciryl Gane vs. Alex Pereira and Jon Jones vs. Alex Pereira run wild. Until one or none of those bookings are confirmed, the title picture will remain unclear.

It is certain, however, that the winner of this matchup will be in pretty good position moving forward.
