Volkov is a veteran heavyweight fighter who will be looking for his 40th win when he battles Cortes-Acosta, who has won each of his last three fights by knockout/TKO. He's priced at +450 to win by knockout/TKO but his favored method of victory is actually decision (+240).

After losing at UFC 322 to Michael Morales, Brady will try to bounce back against Buckley. Though nine of Brady's 18 wins have come via decision, two of his last three victories were by submission and he's +330 to win that way on Saturday. Buckley was on a six-fight winning streak before losing to Kamaru Usman via decision in a main event bout last June. Of his 21 victories, 15 have come by knockout and he's +250 to add another knockout victory to his resume in this fight.

Green recovered from back-to-back losses with two wins in a row, most recently taking down Daniel Zellhuber via knockout in Mexico City in February of this year. He's got 12 knockouts in his career and he's +215 to add another to his total against Stephens, who has just one win in his last 10 fights. Stephens has only been knocked out twice in that span though, and 14 of his 22 career losses have come by decision.
