It’s fight night!
UFC 273 takes place at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, FL, and there are two titles on the line. The main event pits featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski against longtime contender Chan Sung Jung, aka ‘The Korean Zombie.’ This is TKZ’s second title shot, nearly nine years removed from his loss to Jose Aldo at UFC 163. In the co-main event, Aljamain Sterling makes his first title defense in a rematch vs. Petr Yan, who was memoably disqualified and thus lost his belt after an illegal knee to Sterling’s head in a fight Yan was easily ahead on the scorecards.
