This weekend, Islam Makhachev will make his first UFC lightweight title defence against featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski on the Australian’s home turf.

Makhachev won the lightweight belt in October, following in the footsteps of his coach and childhood friend Khabib Nurmagomedov by defeating Charles Oliveira.

Now, the Russian will defend his title against Volkanovski in the main event of UFC 284, attempting to become the UFC’s fifth dual-weight champion.

In the co-main event, Yair Rodriguez takes on Josh Emmett for the interim featherweight title, which will determine who will challenge Volkanovski for undisputed 145-pound title next.
