This marquee event is set to feature a series of thrilling bouts headlined by a highly anticipated championship rematch between two formidable fighters. Let’s take a closer look at the highlight of this event.
Main Event:
In the five-round main event, the UFC lightweight champion, Islam Makhachev (24-1), will make the second defense of his title against the current featherweight champion, Alexander Volkanovski (26-2).

Volkanovski, however, bounced back in July by stopping Yair Rodriguez in the third round and retaining his 145-pound crown for the fifth time.

This three-round bout serves as a UFC middleweight title eliminator, and it promises to be a battle for the ages. Chimaev’s meteoric rise and Usman’s experience as a former champion will collide, and fans can expect nothing short of an epic showdown.
