The UFC is closing in on a meaty main card headlined by Alexander Volkanovski vs. Chan Sung Jung. UFC 273 marks the promotion's pay-per-view return to VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday, April 9.
It will be Volkanovski's third title defense since earning the strap in a win over Max Holloway in 2020. This will be Jung's second opportunity at the 145-pound title after an unsuccessful attempt back in 2013.

The co-main event sees a title rematch at bantamweight. Champion Aljamain Sterling and interim titleholder Petr Yan have unfinished business to settle from their first meeting. The two battled in March 2021 to crown an undisputed champion, but a blatant illegal knee from Yan in the fourth round left Sterling unable to continue and declared the winner by disqualification. Sterling has not fought since then while recovering from neck surgery as Yan has continued to dominate, dismantling Cory Sandhagen over five rounds in October.
