- UFC 294: Two mega rematches, one big night.
- Islam Makhachev vs. Alexander Volkanovski 2 for lightweight title.
- Khamzat Chimaev vs. Kamaru Usman at middleweight.
UFC 294, one of the biggest fight cards of the year, is set to take place on Saturday, October 21 at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. The event has undergone two major late changes, but it is arguably even bigger than it was originally.
In the main event, Islam Makhachev will defend his lightweight title against featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski. Makhachev narrowly outpointed Volkanovski in February, and the latter is stepping in for the injured Charles Oliveira.
In the co-main event, rising star Khamzat Chimaev will fight former welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, who makes his middleweight debut after replacing Paulo Costa. Costa is facing a slew of surgeries on an injured elbow.
Both of the main and co-main events are highly anticipated rematches, and they are sure to draw a massive audience.
