The UFC 284 event takes place in Perth, Australia, on Sunday, November 11. It’s usually a Saturday night in North America.
The main event features a battle between Alexander Volkanovski and Islam Makhachev for the lightweight title.
This fight is a huge event for the UFC as both fighters are widely regarded as some of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. Volkanovski is from Australia, while Makhachev is from Russia.
Due to Volkanovski’s shift up to lightweight, it’s possible that his move to the featherweight division could slow things down a bit. To prevent this, the organization has created an interim lightweight title for Yair Rodriguez, who will face off against American Josh Emmett at the event.
On the main card, Australian prospect Jack Della Maddalana will face off against Randy Brown. In other fights, New Zealander Justin Tafa will challenge American Parker Porter, while Jimmy Crute will face another American, Alonzo Menifield, in a light heavyweight bout.
