A featherweight interim title bout between Josh Emmett and Yair Rodriguez will serve as the co-main event of UFC 284.

“Look, I’m OK with it,” champion Alexander Volkanovski commented on the interim title bout at the UFC 284 press conference. “At the end of the day, I’m the champ. So that’s that.”

No. 2 ranked Rodriguez comes from a win over Brian Ortega in June, while No 5. ranked Emmett rides a five-fight winning streak that includes Calvin Kattar, Dan Ige and Shane Burgos.
