UFC 284: Islam Makhachev vs Alexander Volkanovski
Alexander Volkanovski will compete against Islam Makhachev for the lightweight championship in Perth, Australia, the weekend after the Lewis vs. Spivac Fight Night event. The two champions will square off for the lightweight title and their respective pound-for-pound rankings. Makhachev is just below Volkanovski on the list of fighters ranked by weight, yet the Dagestani is widely favored to defeat the Australian.
The interim featherweight title is up for grabs when Josh Emmett and Yair Rodriguez square off in the co-main event, and as usual, Australian fans will have something to cheer about throughout the entire night.
