The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to pay-per-view with a championship doubleheader at UFC 273 at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida.
While the featherweight championship bout between Alexander Volkanovski and “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung serves as the headliner, the co-main event will feature a bantamweight title fight when Aljamain Sterling returns to action to take on interim champ Petr Yan.
In their first meeting, Yan seemed well on his way to defending his title with momentum on his side when an illegal knee left Sterling unable to continue and resulted in the belt changing hands due to disqualification.
Ahead of Saturday night’s pay-per-view, the UFC released the UFC 273: Countdown episode which gives an all-access look at the fighters as they go through their fight camps and prepare for the biggest bouts of their lives. From last-minute training to a look at their everyday life, UFC 273: Countdown gives fans a look behind-the-scenes at what it takes to make a world-class fighter.
