UFC 284 live fight updates, results, highlights from Volkanovski vs. Makhachev
At UFC 284, two of the best fighters in today’s MMA go head-to-head for easy gold. It will be number one versus number two in the pound-for-pound rankings when Alexander Volkanovski challenges Islam Makhachev for the UFC lightweight title on February 11.
The fight will take place in Volkanovski’s native Australia at the RAC Arena. If Volkanovski, the UFC featherweight champion, wins, he will become only the fifth UFC fighter to become a double champion.
Volkanovski is on a 22-fight win streak and is 12-0 in the UFC. He’s achieved it all at featherweight and wants to add something to his nickname, “The Great.” Despite being the +300 underdog (Bet MGM says Makhachev is the -400 favorite), Volkanovski is ready for his fight with a chance to prove everyone wrong.

The strike-happy Volkanovski meets a fighter in Makhachev who is hardly touched in the octagon. Makhachev holds the record for the least absorbed punches (0.95) in UFC history. The Russian is on an 11-fight win streak and is 12-1 in the UFC.
If he can beat the Aussie in front of his family and friends and retain the lightweight title, Makhachev’s dominance will be known in front of an international audience at home and on ESPN+PPV.
