On Saturday February 11, the highly anticipated UFC 284 takes place at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia.
In the massive main event, two of the absolute best fighters in the world will clash, as reigning lightweight champion, and No. 2 pound-for-pound, Islam Makhachev is set to make his first title defense against featherweight champion, and No. 1 pound-for-pound, Alexander Volkanovski.
Makhachev won the vacant lightweight title last October as he submitted Charles Oliveira at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi.
If Volkanovski, who’s moving up a weight class, beats Makhachev, he will become the promotion’s fifth-ever fighter to be champion in two UFC divisions simultaneously.
Rodriguez and Emmett fights for interim title
In the co-main event, featherweights Yair Rodriguez and Josh Emmett will clash for the interim featherweight belt in a five-round bout.
No. 2 ranked Rodriguez comes from a win against Brian Ortega, while No. 5 ranked Emmet has five straight victories, including decision wins against top dogs like Calvin Kattar, Dan Ige and Shane Burgos.
The main card also features red-hot welterweight prospect Jack Della Maddalena who’s riding an impressive thirteen-fight winning streak and is undefeated in the UFC, with three straight victories. He’s set to fight Randy Brown, who’s also undefeated in the promotion with three straight wins.
