The UFC is in Anaheim, CA this week for UFC 298, which sees Alexander Volkanovski once again focused on the 145lb division and the challenge that is the undefeated Ilia Topuria.
Topuria enters the featherweight title fight a perfect 14-0, coming off a win over longtime contender Josh Emmett last summer. Volkanovski, meanwhile, had been turned back for a second time in his quest to become lightweight champ, knocked out by Islam Makhachev back in the fall.
Middleweights Robert Whittaker and Paulo Costa served as the co-main event, while a hih-profile bantamweight match-up saw ex-champ Henry Cejudo lined up with Merab Dvalishvili.
Weigh-ins for UFC 298 go down Friday morning in Anaheim, CA, followed by ceremonial weigh-ins later in the day. Full results can be found below.
