Upcoming Event: UFC 273
The promotion is currently gearing up for their upcoming UFC 273. The event will witness two title fights. Alexander Volkanovski and Chan Sung Jung will clash for the featherweight title. Their fight will be the main event.
Similarly, Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan will fight for the bantamweight title. They have been having a bitter feud since their initial fight. During their last fight, ‘No Mercy’ got disqualified for using an illegal knee. Sterling, thus, became the champion. Hence, watching them fight once again will give both the fighters an opportunity to redeem themselves.

In addition to this, welterweights Khamzat Chimaev and Gilbert Burns will fight two. UFC 273 will see Chimaev’s first highly ranked opponent. Seeing his performance against a number two-ranked opponent would surely be interesting.
With so many interesting fights in line, the upcoming event is sure to be huge. It takes place on April 9 at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida. Which fight are you interested in watching?
