What time does Alexander Volkanovski vs. Yair Rodriguez start?
The fate of the UFC's featherweight division will be determined this weekend as Alexander Volkanovski and Yair Rodriguez clash to unify the promotion's 145-pound gold.
Alexander Volkanovski was last in action earlier this year against UFC Lightweight Champion, Islam Makhachev, in an attempt to achieve double champ status. 'The Great' was unsuccessful in his quest but now, at UFC 290, he meets the interim champion looking to dethrone him in Yair Rodriguez.
'El Pantera' has an impressive resume and, having gotten his first taste of gold earlier this year, he looks to graduate to undisputed champion status by unseating one of the greatest featherweights the UFC has ever witnessed. The main event between Alexander Volkanovski and Yair Rodriguez could be a fight of the year contender.
The UFC 290 card will also feature Brandon Moreno defending his flyweight title against Alexandre Pantoja, as well as Robert Whittaker and Dricus du Plessis in a title eliminator fight.
