With two championship fights on the card, UFC 273 won't be short of action. The headline clash, Volkanovski vs The Korean Zombie, will see two of the UFC's finest go head-to-head for the featherweight title.
Alexander "The Great" Volkanovski (23-1) is targeting a third successful title defence. The Australian fighter is currently on a 20-fight winning streak – only three other competitors have achieved double-digit winning streaks inside the Octagon according to UFC.com.
Volkanovski's task won't be easy though. Experienced contender Chan Sung Jung has won three of his last four bouts and recently notched up a decision win over Dan Ige in June.
Saturday's co-main event will feature UFC bantamweight champ Aljamain Sterling (20-3) against interim champion Petr Yan (16-2). Also on the card is a welterweight clash featuring unbeaten Khamzat Chimaev, plus a women's strawweight contest between Mackenzie Dern and Tecia Torres.
