UFC 284: Islam Makhachev vs. Alexander Volkanovski Reddit live stream

The top two pound-for-pound fighters on Earth collide in the main event of UFC 284.

Reigning featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski looks to join an elite club at UFC 284 of fighters who have held two championship belts in two different weight divisions simultaneously.  Across from Volkanovski stands lightweight champion Islam Makhachev.

While Volkanovski has made five defenses of his featherweight belt, effectively cleaning out the division and leaving himself no choice but to make the jump to lightweight and challenge Makhachev for his belt. A win here would almost certainly solidify Volkanovski as a top-five UFC fighter of all time, while a win for Makhachev would dispel any remaining doubts fans may have about the lightweight champion’s resume.
