Saturday night the UFC will take their show to Rotterdam, Netherlands where the company will hold "UFC Fight Night 115." It will be a chance for several of the lower-tiered, less-known fighters to be showcased worldwide as the fight card will feature eight preliminary fights as well as four main-card matches. The main event of the night will be between heavyweights Alexander Volkov and Stefan Struve.

The event will be part of 'UFC's Fight Pass' online network that gives access to all the non-pay-per-view events each month all across the UFC.

Marion Reneau vs. Talita Bernardo

In the first of four main card matches, Marion Reneau was originally scheduled to fight Germaine de Randamie in this weekends upcoming "UFC Fight Night 115," but according to UFC.com Randamie had to withdraw because of a hand injury. Now Reneau will face Brazilian Talita de Oliveira Bernardo in a bantamweight matchup Saturday.

Bernardo is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu expert who is in the right place at the right time against a top 15 opponent in only her seventh professional fight. If Reneau wants to make it out of this one with a victory, she's going to have to dominate the tone of this matchup and keep Bernardo off the mat. The Brazilian has won four of her five professional fights by submission and will take advantage if given even the smallest window.

Leon Edwards vs. Bryan Barberena

This will be a matchup between two up-and-coming fighters who are both trying to fit into the top 15 of the UFC's welterweight division. Both of these fighters are completely capable of knocking the other out. Even though Edwards has a two-inch reach advantage, Barberena, who has a tendency to start matches on a slower-pace, has knocked out 77 percent of the opponents he's faced since turning pro.

Siyar Bahadurzada vs. Rob Wilkinson

Rob Wilkinson is looking to keep his professional record perfect as he squares up against Siyar Bahadurzada looking for his 12th straight victory in his young career. Bahadurzada could make this one interesting if Wilkinson doesn't take the Afghan warrior seriously.

Alexander Volkov vs. Stefan Struve

The main event matchup of the entire night will feature the biggest men in the octagon as 6-7 Alexander Volkov will face-off against 6-11 1/2 Stefan Struve. Struve will be fighting in his home country, and the cocky-but talented heavyweight will have his work cut out for him against Volkov who makes his living off bringing his punches to the inside of other fighters. This may be the first time in Volkov's career that he's the smaller fighter. These two should give viewers what they tuned in for.
