It’s just a little over a month-and-a-half away, but UFC Columbus continues to gain fights. The most recent addition is one in the heavyweight division, as Ilir Latifi (15-8 MMA, 8-6 UFC) and Aleksei Oleinik (59-17-1 MMA, 8-7 UFC) will face off inside the UFC cage at the March 26 event. The UFC Fight Night card takes place at Nationwide Arena and airs on ESPN+. A person with knowledge of the booking Friday confirmed the matchup to MMA Junkie but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. BJPenn.com was first to report the bout. Oleinik, 44, is the oldest fighter on the UFC roster.
