UFC 273 takes place at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla. The main card streams on ESPN+ pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on ESPN+.
UFC 273 features a pair of championship matchups, including reigning featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski (23-1 MMA, 10-0 UFC) facing perennial contender “The Korean Zombie,” Chan Sung Jung (17-6 MMA, 7-3 UFC), as well as a heated rematch and title unifier between reigning bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling (20-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) and interim titleholder Petr Yan (16-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC).
