In what may arguably be the best fight of 2024 to date, Alexander Volkanovski will return to the featherweight division to defend his belt against the undefeated rising star Ilia Topuria.
Though Volkanovski enters the main event fight as the longest reigning champion in the UFC and the No. 3 pound-for-pound fighter in the world, 'The Great' enters the fight as just a slight favorite against the 14-0 No. 3 ranked contender. Much of the talk during fight week has surrounded the age of Volkanovski, who turned 35 last September and is 1-2 in his last three outings.
