The reigning UFC featherweight champion prepares to defend his title next month at Volkanovski's lightweight title shot this past February forced top contender “This is a massive fight,” Volkanovski said on “This is very important for Beneil. Very important for even Charles because Charles’ last loss was the title fight. He was still pretty dominant as champion. Obviously, when I say dominant, he had a few title wins which is impressive. It’s not easy to do. Some of them were pretty close, back and forth then he ended up finishing them in wild, very fun fights.” Oliveira looks to rebound against the surging Dariush, who has won eight straight. Against Makhachev for the vacant belt this past October, “Do Bronx” saw his incredible 11-fight undefeated streak snapped in round two with an arm triangle choke. That same night, Dariush extended his winning streak with an impressive performance opposite The matchup has been booked on numerous occasions before this hopefully final date in Vancouver, British Columbia. Therefore, fans and fellow possible competitors like Volkanovski have had plenty of time to dissect how it all plays out. “This ...

Alexander Volkanovski isn’t taking his next title challenger lightly. UFC 290 on July 8, 2023, in Las Vegas, NV. will see UFC’s undisputed Featherweight kingpin return to his throne, defending opposite the interim titleholder, Yair Rodriguez. Volkanovski, 34, has fought a who’s who of all-time greats throughout his 27-fight career, but views “El Pantera” as his most dangerous foe yet. Related “I believe so, 100 percent, I think it’s the most dangerous,” Volkanovski told FREESTYLEBENDER of his pairing with Rodriguez. “Does that make it the hardest? We will see. A lot of people will be, ‘What about Max [Holloway], what about this?’ They are different challenges, and that is the thing people have to understand. I always look at Yair as a more dangerous opponent for me than an Islam [Makhachev] because of that crazy, sporadic, always looking for a finish in the striking, and unpredictable behavior. It’s different. What’s a harder fight? I’ll probably say Islam is gonna be a harder fight. But, who’s more dangerous? I’ll say Yair is more dangerous, it excites me, he’s going to have these big threats and see how I deal with them.” The Rodriguez match up will act as Volkanovski’s first rebound attempt in UFC and only the second of his career overall after suffering a unanimous decision loss ( In terms of finishing abilities, Rodriguez presents a diverse arsenal for the undisputed champion, possessing five of his 15 career wins by knockout or technical knockout and four by submissi...

UFC International Fight Week is locked in with a card that lives up to its name, if not its reputation for star power. UFC returns to Las Vegas on Saturday, July 8 with a card filled with fighters from around the world at UFC 290. The T-Mobile Arena will host a main event pitting Alexander Volkanovski and Yair Rodriguez against each other to unify the featherweight title. Rodriguez defeated Josh Emmett to cement his undisputed title shot following Volkanovski's excursion to an ultra-competitive but unsuccessful super fight against UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev. Mexico continues to show up and show out at International Fight Week as flyweight champion Brandon Moreno -- having finally concluded his historic quadrilogy with Deiveson Figueiredo -- defends his title against Brazil's Alexandre Pantoja. The two previously met in 2018 with Pantoja picking up a unanimous decision, leading to Moreno's brief UFC release. The undercard will feature a bevy of fan favorite names and rising prospects as is typically the case with International Fight Week. Look no further than the featured bout on the main card where former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker takes on rising contender Dricus du Plessis in a title eliminator. Plus, veteran lightweights Jalin Turner and Dan Hooker meet in a bit of a crossroads matchup with both fighters heading in opposite directions. And to open the festivities is heralded prospect Bo Nickal as the wrestling phenom takes on Tresean Gore at mi...
