UFC 290 live stream Reddit: Watch Alexander Volkanovski vs. Yair Rodriguez
We're now just, in the famous words of Jon Anik, "one more sleep" away from UFC 290, which will serve as the major UFC event for this year's International Fight Week.
In the main event, Alexander Volkanovski will unify the UFC featherweight championship in a showdown with interim champion Yair Rodriguez.
Volkanovski comes into this fight off his first UFC loss (and just the second loss in his career) in a narrow defeat to UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev. Volkanovski has been featherweight champion since defeating Max Holloway at UFC 245. He has since defended the title against Holloway twice, as well as Brian Ortega and "The Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung.
Rodriguez became interim champion with a submission win over Josh Emmett in February at UFC 284.
The co-main event will see Brandon Moreno take on Alexandre Pantoja for the UFC flyweight championship. Pantoja has previously gotten the best of Moreno on two occasions — once on The Ultimate Fighter in 2016 and in a May 2018 Fight Night.
This is Moreno's first title defense since ending his rivalry with Deiveson Figueiredo by re-capturing the flyweight title at UFC 283.
The rest of the UFC 290 card is also stacked with talent, including a middleweight title eliminator featuring Robert Whittaker and Dricus du Plessis, as well as the retirement fight of legendary former UFC welterweight champion Robbbie Lawler.
