The main event of UFC 290 is a featherweight title unification bout between the reigning champion Alexander Volkanovski and interim champ Yair Rodriguez. Volkanovski has never lost in the UFC at featherweight and is heavily favored to win against Rodriguez, who is coming off of a huge win over Josh Emmett in his last fight. Although Rodriguez is skillful enough to be considered a “live dog,” Volkanovski is undoubtedly the hardest fight for anyone in the 145 lbs division.
The co-main event is a trilogy bout between Brandon Moreno and Alexandre Pantoja, who previously beat Moreno in the UFC by decision and on TUF in an exhibition bout by submission. This third fight will be for all the marbles between these two flyweight stars. Moreno is the betting favorite due to all of the improvements that he’s made, but don’t count out Pantoja. At first glance, this fight appears to be a lot closer than the betting odds suggest.
In addition to the main and co-main events, UFC 290 will also feature exciting fighters like Robert Whittaker and Bo Nickal, to name a few. Whittaker will be facing Dricus Du Plessis, while Nickal will be going up against Tresean Gore.
The UFC 290 promises to be an exciting event for MMA fans. The main event between Volkanovski and Rodriguez is undoubtedly the one to watch out for, but the co-main event and other matchups also have the potential to be thrilling fights. The betting odds may give us an idea of who the favorites are, but anything can happen inside the octagon, and we can’t wait to see what unfolds on fight night.
