UFC 284 gives Islam Makhachev, the No.2-ranked pound-for-pound fighter in the UFC, a chance to take down the very best in the business, Alexander Volkanovski, on his own turf. Volkanovski, who hasn’t been beaten in nearly 10 years, is aiming to become just the fifth fighter to hold titles in two weight divisions at the same time, but the step up from featherweight to lightweight is a significant one that may just tip the scales in Makhachev’s favor.
Both men are on lengthy winning streaks, Makhachev having won 11 bouts in a row including the lightweight title fight, and Volkanovski entering the showdown off the back of 12 UFC victories, including four successful defences of his featherweight belt, and 22 straight wins in all competitions.
It’s a dream matchup in so many ways. Not only are they the top two guys in the UFC, but the differences in stature – Makhachev is around four inches taller than the famously stout and stocky Volkanovski – will make for a visual spectacle on its own. Add Makhachev’s grappling expertise and Volkanovski’s unparalleled striking to the equation, and this has the potential to be one for the ages.
In the co-main event, The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America featherweight champion Yair Rodriguez will try to stop Josh Emmett in a fight that will decide the winner of the interim featherweight crown.
