After a rocky build that saw late changes to the main and co-main event, the UFC 294 card is finally set.
Makhachev (24-1) was supposed to rematch Charles Oliveira in the main event, but will instead face off against another familiar face in Volkanovski (26-2). The pair faced off earlier this year in February, where Makhachev took a closely contested unanimous decision victory in a back-and-forth fight. "The Great" has since rebounded with a featherweight title defense against Yair Rodriguez, while the Dagestani fighter hasn't been in the cage since. Makhachev came in at 155 pounds, while Volkanovski stepped on the scale weighing 154.5 pounds.
UFC 294 prelims begin on Saturday at 10 a.m. ET/7 a.m. PT on ESPN+, before the main card commences at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT on pay-per-view.
