The Ultimate Fighting Championship wrapped up its second pay-per-view event of the calendar year with UFC 298 on Saturday at the Honda Center, which remains a revolving door of champions.
As the lore of past UFC events in Anaheim dictates, eight championships have changed hands out of nine title fights at Honda Center over the years. In the main event, Ilia Topuria fulfilled his fierce pre-fight prediction emphatically, knocking featherweight king Alexander Volkanovski off the throne in spectacular fashion. The co-main event, meanwhile, was the barnburner that fans expected from Robert Whittaker and Paulo Costa.
