A monumental champion vs. champion main event is less than a week away.
UFC 284 will see UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski make the 10lbs jump to lightweight. Standing in his way of double champion glory is new UFC Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev. In the semi-main slot, an Interim Featherweight Champion will be decided when Yair Rodriguez goes to war with Josh Emmett.
Islam Makhachev got his hands on the then-vacant UFC Lightweight Championship back at UFC 280. The Dagestani phenom dominated former champion Charles Oliveira en route to a second-round submission victory. Volkanovski, meanwhile, vanquished longtime featherweight nemesis Max Holloway back at UFC 276. ‘The Great’s unanimous decision victory made him 3-0 against ‘Blessed’.
Shortly after Makhachev’s victory over Oliveira, Khabib Nurmagomedov called out Volkanovski to come and meet them in the Octagon. Shortly thereafter, a clash between the two champions was confirmed, with Volkanovski’s P4P No.1 status also up for grabs. Considering the high stakes of the bout, Makhachev himself has cited the promotion’s curious lack of promotion for the event.

The Co-Main Event Of UFC 284
Yair Rodriguez last fought at UFC on ABC 3 back in July 2022. There, he picked up a frustrating TKO win over Brian Ortega after ‘T-City’ injured his shoulder in the first round. Josh Emmett, meanwhile, is currently on a five-fight winning streak. His most recent victory was a controversial split-decision over Calvin Kattar at UFC on ESPN 37 back in June 2022.
Should Volkanovski lose at UFC 284, the winner of this bout will likely face him to decide the undisputed UFC Featherweight Champion. If ‘The Great’ pulls off the upset, however, and chooses to stay at lightweight, the winner here could be promoted to undisputed.
