With the weekend nearly upon us, there is yet another major sporting event happening. UFC 273 is set to take place on April 9 with a stacked card ready to go to war, including two world championships being up for contention.
In the bantamweight division, Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan face off to unify the UFC Bantamweight Championship and the Interim UFC Bantamweight Championship. The two previously fought in March 2021, when Sterling initially won the belt following an illegal kick that disqualified Yan from the match. After winning the interim belt while Sterling was injured, the two will square off once again to finally determine the true champ of the division.
In the main event, UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski will be up against veteran MMA fighter Chan Sung Jung, better known as The Korean Zombie. Volkanovski is undefeated in the UFC, with major victories over Max Holloway (x2), Jose Aldo and Brian Ortega. While never a champion himself, The Korean Zombie has carved out an impressive legacy of submissions and knockouts to back it up. This will be his second challenge for the UFC Featherweight Championship.
