At the next pay-per-view, featherweight king Alexander Volkanovski finally lost his belt with a knockout loss to rising star Ilia Topuria, and at UFC 299 in March, bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley will defend his title for the first time, Sugar Sean” is preparing for a rematch with the only man to beat him, Marlon “Chito” Vera, before UFC 300 rolls around in April. That historic event will be headlined by light-heavyweight champion Alex Pereira and his predecessor Jamahal Hill, and it will feature many enthralling match-ups – including a women’s strawweight title fight between Zhang Weili and Yan Xiaonan, and Justin Gaethje defending the ‘BMF’ title against Max Holloway, And there are plenty more intriguing fights coming up.
