While the MMA world has actually invested a great deal of energy and time anticipating UFC 300 there’s an engaging UFC 298 card headlined by Alexander Volkanovski and Ilia Topuria to whet those cravings for fisticuffs.
Volkanovski has actually currently developed himself as one of the best featherweights of perpetuity. Now he’s attempting to combat Father Time to take that credibility to an even greater level.
The 35-year-old has actually continued to combat at an elite level in a department that has actually not respected aging fighters in the past. His 2 efforts to increase and record the light-weight crown lost versus Islam Makhachev however he has actually turned away Yair Rodriguez and Max Holloway in each of his last 2 bouts in his home weight class.
The card is a lot more than a one-fight affair, too.
Robert Whittaker and Paulo Costa square off in the co-main occasion in a battle might have substantial implications in the middleweight department.
The battle with even larger prospective implications is the bantamweight bout in between Merab Dvalishvili and Henry Cejudo in the bantamweight department. It might figure out the next title opposition and whether Cejudo continues to combat or opts to return to retirement.
Here’s a take a look at the total card and a more detailed take a look at the greatest battles of the night.
