The next big UFC event is upon us this weekend, as Alexander Volkanovski defends his featherweight title against Brian Ortega.
The main event pits Alexander Volkanovski against Brian Ortega in a featherweight title bout. Volkanovki, who beat Max Holloway in the first defense of the championship, is the current favorite in Vegas, but oddsmakers say you shouldn’t sleep on Ortega, who’s finally back to full-strength after battling injuries over the last year or so.
The co-main event at UFC 266 features Valentina Shevchenko defending her women’s flyweight belt against Lauren Murphy. Oddsmakers have Shevchenko as the overwhelming favorite, as she looks to continue her dominance in the women’s ranks. The rest of the main card features a number of intriguing matchups: Nick Diaz steps back into the octagon for the first time since 2015, facing off against Robbie Lawler in a welterweight bout. The fight also serves as a rematch, with Diaz vs. Lawler 2 coming more than 17 years after they first fought at UFC 47
The earlier matchups pit Curtis Blaydes vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik in a heavyweight fight, and Jessica Andrade vs. Cynthia Calvillo in a women’s flyweight belt. Andrade was beaten by Shevchenko at UFC 261 back in April.If you want to rep your favorite fighter, the official UFC store has a huge sale right now on a selection of
