Although it isn’t the UFC 294 fight week we had been looking forward to, it is certain not to disappoint. After both Charles Oliveira and Paulo Costa were forced to withdraw from the event, we still have a lightweight title fight, as well as a #1 contenders fight in the middleweight division.
The main event sees a rematch between Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski. The two fought to a closely contested decision back in January, with Makhachev getting his hand raised.
The co-main event will see Kamaru Usman look to snap a two-fight losing skid when he steps up to middleweight to take on Khamzat Chimaev.
