The latest PPV offering from UFC is upon us. The promotion is back in the Sunshine State with a massive fight card in tow as a pair of titles top the billing from Jacksonville, Florida, on Saturday night. UFC 273 boasts both the featherweight and bantamweight titles as 145-pound champ Alexander Volkanovski takes on “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung in the main event while 135-pound titleholder Aljamain Sterling battles former champ Petr Yan in a rematch from March 2021.

The featherweight champion enters on one of the longest winning streaks in the promotion at 10 and has won 20 in a row overall. The former rugby star has made two defenses of the 145-pound crown already as he looks to add a third on Saturday night. Jung, meanwhile, bounced back from a tough loss to Brian Ortega with a solid win over Dan Ige last June.

The co-main event sees a title rematch at bantamweight. Champion Aljamain Sterling and interim titleholder Petr Yan have unfinished business to settle from their first meeting. The two battled in March 2021 to crown an undisputed champion, but a blatant illegal knee from Yan in the fourth round left Sterling unable to continue and declared the winner by disqualification. Sterling has not fought since then while recovering from neck surgery as Yan has continued to dominate, dismantling Cory Sandhagen over five rounds in October.
