The excitement is building as UFC 294 approaches, featuring a thrilling rematch for the coveted UFC lightweight title. In this much-anticipated event, Islam Makhachev is set to defend his title against the formidable Alexander Volkanovski.
Makhachev initially claimed the title in dramatic fashion with a second-round submission victory over Charles Oliveira in Abu Dhabi last October. His victory was nothing short of breathtaking, with Makhachev showcasing swift and dominant skills. Following this remarkable triumph, he issued a challenge to Alexander Volkanovski, agreeing to face the Australian champion on his home turf in Perth this coming February.
Key Fighter Stats:
| Fighter | Age | Height/Weight | Reach | Record | Recent Form |
| Islam Makhachev | 31 | 178cm / 70.3kg | 179.1cm | 24-1-0 | W-W-W-W-W |
| Alexander Volkanovski | 35 | 168cm / 70.08kg | 181.6cm | 26-2-0 | W-L-W-W-W |
These two titans last clashed at UFC 284, delivering what many consider the best fight of the year. Makhachev managed to retain his title in an ultra-competitive bout that saw him clinging to victory as the indefatigable featherweight champion refused to yield.
Since his victorious fight in February, Makhachev has patiently awaited his next challenger. In the meantime, Volkanovski, at 35 years old, returned to the featherweight division, putting on a dazzling performance against Yair Rodriguez at UFC 290 in July. This display further solidified his standing as not only the best fighter in the division but potentially the best fighter on the planet.
The upcoming rematch between Makhachev and Volkanovski promises to be even more captivating. Volkanovski has showcased an incredible ability to adapt during and between fights, while Makhachev is now fully aware of the challenge he will face when they meet on October 20 for the second time.
Volkanovski’s willingness to step into a fight of this magnitude with so much at stake on less than two weeks’ notice demonstrates his extraordinary focus, work ethic, and self-belief. Additionally, Makhachev deserves immense credit for welcoming a rematch with the talented featherweight kingpin, especially under challenging circumstances.
Both Makhachev and Volkanovski are true champions, and just as their initial encounter at UFC 284 provided a thrilling conclusion to the event, the rematch at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi is poised to do the same.
