Live stream, TV channel and event information as UFC heads to Abu Dhabi, UAE, this Saturday.
Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski will go head-to-head in a rematch of their February bout that saw the Russian defend his lightweight championship title.
Kamaru Usman is also scheduled to fight on the undercard and will take on Khamzat Chimaev as he looks to get back to winning ways.
During the main event of UFC 294, Alexander Volkanovski will challenge Islam Makhachev for the UFC lightweight championship.
The two men previously faced each other in February, at UFC 284, with Makhachev winning via unanimous decision. Volkanovski has very few days to prepare.
Indeed, the Australian accepted the fight on short notice after Charles Oliveira withdrew for an eyebrow injury.
In the co-main event, Khamzat Chimaev will face Kamaru Usman at middleweight. The Chechen was originally scheduled to face division No. 6 Paulo Costa, but the Brazilian was unfit to fight due to an elbow infection. ‘Borz’ will therefore have to face the former UFC welterweight champion.
