Two title fights are lined up for UFC 272 in Las Vegas on March 5th.
Dana White told ESPN’s Brett Okamoto that men’s bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling will rematch interim champ Petr Yan, while men’s featherweight king Alexander Volkanovski is set for a trilogy with Max Holloway.
A winner of 20 in a row, Volkanovski (23-1) won the featherweight belt from Max Holloway at UFC 245 in December 2019. In the much-debated rematch, Volkanovski overcame a slow start to win a split decision over Holloway at UFC 251 in Abu Dhabi. The Australian defended his belt successfully in a thrilling decision over Brian Ortega at UFC 266 last September.
