After 1 week of a break, UFC's general martial arts events will return to UFC 273. The focal point of UFC 273 is the two Bantamweight Bantamweight Championships (Aljamain Sterling – Petr Yan) and Featherweight (Alexander Volkanovski – “Zombie Korea” Chan Sung Jung).
In addition to the two championship matches, UFC 273 also has 2 main cards between Gilbert Burns and Khamzat Chimaev (Welterweight), as well as between Mackenzie Dern and Tecia Torres (Female's Strawweight class), and 9 other matches.
With Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan, this match is a rematch after 1 year. At that time, Petr Yan lost to Sterling because of a blow on the pillow. Sterling naturally won the Bantamweight belt, while Petr Yan was awarded the “temporary” belt in the match against Cory Sandhagen last October.
Meanwhile in Featherweight, Alexander Volkanovski continued the journey to protect the championship since he won from Max Holloway 3 years ago. After 2 successful defense, this time Volkanovski's opponent was “Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung, who was famous for strong fighting despite receiving the blow from the opponent.
According to UFC's schedule, the matches within the UFC 273 will start taking place from 5 am on April 10 in Vietnam. Main card matches start around 9 am on the same day.
