UFC 294 fight card: Who else is fighting at the event?
Alexander Volkanovski showed immense grit and heart by taking the 155-pound title headliner against Islam Makhachev on 11 days' notice, that too in enemy territory. The champion was originally scheduled to face Charles Oliveira, who had to withdraw because of an injury suffered while training.
The co-main event also saw a short-notice change, as Paulo Costa had to pull out owing to an elbow surgery. Former welterweight champion Kamaru Usman stepped up to face the self-proclaimed boogeyman, Khamzat Chimaev, for his middleweight debut.
Elsewhere on the main card, Magomed Ankalaev takes on Johnny Walker at light heavyweight, Ikram Aliskerov fights unranked middleweight Warlley Alves, and Said Nurmagomedov locks horns with Muin Gafurov.
The stacked card will also see undefeated Russian sensation Sharabutdin Magomedov and Indian MMA star Anshul Jubli make their UFC debuts in the prelims. Other exciting fighters to watch out for on the preliminary card are Muhammad Mokaev, Javid Basharat, and Abu Azaitar.
