A heavyweight division attraction has been added to UFC Vegas 76 according to MMA Junkie as #14 Alexandr Romanov faces #15 Blagoy Ivanov.

Romanov (16-2-0) enters the contest riding a two fight losing streak, dropping fights to the duo of Marcin Tybura and Alexander Volkov. Romanov hasn’t picked up a victory in over a year, with his last win coming over Chase Sherman in April of 2022. Romanov has earned 16 wins as a professional MMA fighter and nine of those have come by submission.

Ivanov (19-5-0-1NC) has won just one of his last four under the UFC banner, with that lone win coming over Marcos Rogerio De Lima at UFC 274. Ivanov hasn’t put a winning streak together in over three years and his last such streak lasted for two fights. Ivanov is a former WSOF Heavyweight Champion, but he relinquished the title upon signing with the UFC.

UFC Vegas 76 takes place on Saturday, July 1 from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada with Sean Strickland and Abusupiyan Magomedov headlining. PWInsiderXtra is providing live coverage of the event, while broadcast plans have yet to be revealed.
