On October 24, the UFC will hold its annual numbered event in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The main event pits featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski against the undefeated Russian, Movsar Evloev. In the co-main event, bantamweight champion Petr Yan will face former champion Merab Dvalishvili for the third time. Volkanovski, one of the best fighters in the featherweight division, has been the champion for over a decade.
He won the title by defeating Max Holloway and has since defended it four times, as well as fought for the lightweight title. Evloev, on the other hand, has been the top contender for a long time, with a 10-0 record in the UFC. He was a long-time M-1 Global champion and recently beat Lerone Murphy in an unofficial title eliminator. The third fight between Yan and Dvalishvili could determine the new bantamweight champion.
