Former Bellator heavyweight champion Alexander Volkov and rising heavyweight star Greg Hardy will do battle in the co-main event at UFC Moscow, and the pair hit the pads for the fans and media ahead of their clash this weekend.
Volkov, a veteran of 37 professional fights, looked loose and relaxed as he hit the mitts for the fans in Moscow at the official open workouts for Saturday's event.
Hardy, meanwhile, looked typically stern-faced and focused as he worked out ahead of the biggest fight of his UFC career to date.
The former NFL star agreed to step in at late notice to take on Volkov, who was originally set to face former UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos in the headline bout of the event.
Now Volkov and Hardy will face off in the co-main event slot on Saturday night in Moscow at the CSKA Arena
