UFC 294 is just one day away.
In the main event, Islam Makhachev will defend his lightweight title against UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski. The kingpins meet in a highly-anticipated rematch, eight months after their first fight at UFC 284.
Makhachev looks for a (less-controversial) repeat while Volkanovski tries to exact revenge and finally gain double-champ status, all on 10 days notice.
Serving as the co-headliner right before, former UFC Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman will follow Khamzat Chimaev up to middleweight in a potential title eliminator.
