Page Text: UFC 273 COMPLETE PLAY-BY-PLAY RESULTS LIVE STREAM
This weekend the UFC is returning to one of the promotion’s few happy havens during the (ongoing) COVID-19 pandemic: Jacksonville, Florida. This weekend the Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena hosts UFC 273, which comes with two title fights on tap.
The main event has Alexander Volkanovski defending his featherweight crown against fan favourite Chan Sung Jung aka The Korean Zombie. The co-main is a bantamweight unification bout with Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan both hoping to settle what has become an especially bitter rivalry.
Sterling dethroned Yan of his bantamweight title in a DQ win back in March 2021. Since then Sterling has had a lengthy bout on the sidelines to recover from neck injury. With Sterling out Yan scooped an interim title with a win over Cory Sandhagen.
Also on the main card, the most hyped prospect in MMA—Khamzat Chimaev—returns with his stiffest test to date. Before the title fights he will be taking on Gilbert Burns, who recently fought Kamaru Usman for the UFC welterweight title.
Rounding out the main card is Tecia Torres vs. Mackenzie Dern and Vinc Pichel vs. Mark Madsen.
The prelim card is headlined by welterweights Ian Garry and Darian Weeks. Also on the prelims is Aspen Ladd vs. Raquel Pennington, Anthony Hernandez vs. Josh Fremd and Mickey Gall vs. Mike Malott. The prelim card lost Jairzinho Rozenstruik vs. Marcin Tybura after Tybura suffered an illness shortly after weigh-ins.
