The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is set to host its next big event, UFC 290, and it will feature a featherweight title defense from current champion Alexander Volkanovski. The event is scheduled to take place on July 10th in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Volkanovski has been the featherweight champion since December 2019, when he defeated Max Holloway at UFC 245. He has since defended his title successfully against Jose Aldo at UFC 251 in July 2020. Volkanovski is currently ranked as the number one featherweight fighter in the world by the UFC and is widely considered to be one of the best fighters in the division.
Volkanovski’s opponent for UFC 290 has yet to be announced, but it is expected to be a top contender in the featherweight division. Whoever it is, they will have a tough task ahead of them as Volkanovski has proven to be a formidable champion. He has an impressive record of 21 wins and one loss, with 14 of those wins coming by way of knockout or submission.
UFC 290 promises to be an exciting event for fans of mixed martial arts. It will be the first time that Volkanovski has defended his title since defeating Holloway, and it will be interesting to see how he fares against his next opponent. With his impressive record and skill set, it is likely that Volkanovski will remain the featherweight champion after UFC 290.
