UFC 273: Volkanovski vs. Korean Zombie - Fights to make

UFC 273 was a card that showed the value of booking recognizable talent in high stakes fights. Even if not all the bouts were thrillers, the action still felt like it had a lot of weight and meaning. Alexander Volkanovski once again made it clear that there are few men at 145 lbs in this world who can compete with him the way Max Holloway could. And Chan Sung Jung definitively wasn’t among them. Aljamain Sterling shocked expectations by out-grappling and out-hustling Petr Yan to defend and unify the bantamweight belt. And Khamzat Chimaev made it clear at the very least, that he’s on par with the world’s best welterweights.
