When Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski headline UFC 283 in Perth, Australia on Saturday, Feb. 11, two of the world’s best UFC fighters will collide. Each fighter has something at stake. Makhachev will defend his lightweight title, while Volkanovski will defend his position as the UFC’s No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter.

In the aftermath of UFC 280, Makhachev and Khabib Nurmagomedov officially laid out the challenge to Volkanovski, an opportunity Volkanovski had lobbied for months.

Volkanovski’s move to lightweight necessitates the election of a new 145-pound champion. In the co-main event, Yair Rodriguez and Josh Emmett will fight for the interim featherweight title. Rodriguez is a highlight-reel striker who recently suffered an injury-related TKO against Brian Ortega. With big power and uncanny toughness, Emmett has quietly worked his way into contention, most recently defeating Calvin Kattar.

The complete fight card for UFC 284 is listed below, along with the most recent odds from Caesars Sportsbook. Check back throughout the week for the most recent news, features, and other content related to this massive event.
