Check out the latest news and information as Alexander Volkanovski defends his featherweight title against the undefeated Movsar Evloev in the UFC 333 on Saturday.
Volkanovski enters the clash at the Etihad Arena this weekend on the verge of history.
A victory in the main event will see the two-time UFC champion move to nine title fight wins in the featherweight division, surpassing the legendary Jose Aldo.
An anomaly in the lighter weight classes for his ability to remain at the top of the heap at the age of 38, The Great can arguably cement his status as the greatest featherweight in the history of MMA if he can add a win over Evloev to his resume.
Across his 20 fights as a professional Evloev has amassed a perfect record, with his suffocating wrestling skills a riddle yet to be solved inside the Octagon.
Also featuring on the card is the highly-anticipated trilogy fight between Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili with the bantamweight title on the line.
