Broadcast and streaming info
UFC 273 has a main card that begins at 10 p.m. ET and streams on ESPN+ pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+ beginning at 8 p.m. ET. Early prelims on ESPN+ are scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. ET.
Main event
Alexander Volkanovski and Chan Sung Jung
Featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski (23-1 MMA, 10-0 UFC) puts his title on the line for the third time when he takes on “The Korean Zombie,” Chan Sung Jung (17-6 MMA, 7-3 UFC). Jung stepped in when former champion Max Holloway had to pull out of his trilogy fight against Volkanovski.
Volkanovski beat Holloway with a unanimous decision to win the belt, then defended it in a split decision rematch with him. Most recently, he outworked Brian Ortega to defend the strap. Jung fought Jose Aldo for the title in 2013, but lost by fourth-round TKO. He has gone 4-2 since then with four post-fight bonus awards.
Co-main event
Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling
In the co-feature, bantamweight champ Aljamain Sterling (20-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) takes on interim champion Petr Yan (16-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC) in a rematch. Sterling took the title from Yan by disqualification 13 months ago. He hasn’t fought since, but Yan beat Cory Sandhagen for the interim belt and now will fight Sterling in a title unification rematch.
Featured bout
Gilbert Burns vs. Khamzat Chimaev
In a key welterweight fight on the main card, former title challenger Gilbert Burns (20-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC) takes on the unbeaten Khamzat Chimaev (10-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC), who has stormed through his first four UFC fights with four finishes, four performance bonuses, and has only absorbed one significant strike in total.
