UFC 289: Nunes vs. Aldana - June 11
UFC 289 will head to Canada for the showdown on June 11 between Amanda Nunes and Irene Aldana.
Alexander Volkanovski vs Yair Rodriguez
After taking a shot at greatness by stepping up a division to dethrone Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev, Alexander Volkanovski's next bout sees him return to Featherweight to do battle with interim belt holder Yair Rodriguez.
The Mexican defeated Josh Emmett via triangle choke submission in the second round in the co-main event of Volkanovski's LW title shot in Perth at UFC 284.
The undisputed 145-pound king had already made four successful defences of his belt before going for double champ status, and unsurprisingly opens up as the odds-on betting favourite vs Rodriguez.
Without official confirmation yet, UFC 290 in July is being targeted for the pair's dance, alongside Jon Jones' first title defence vs Stipe Miocic at this summer showcase.
Jon Jones vs Stipe Miocic
Newly crowned Heavyweight champion Jon Jones is set to take on former champ Stipe Miocic, with the Championship bout being eyed for UFC 290 in July.
These two have some history as Jones claims that Miocic has been ducking this fight for quite a while, dodging several opportunities to match up with him in July, September and December 2022.
After wiping out Ciryl Gane with ease, Bones is significantly favoured in his first title defence at odds of around 3/10. If the underdog takes your fancy, Miocic can be backed at 27/10.
Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler
2023 appears to be the year of the comeback! Not only did we see the return of Jon Jones in March, but fans are also being spoiled with Conor McGregor's first appearance inside the famed UFC Octagon since July 2021.
Ireland's MMA superstar has not fought since breaking his leg in the rematch with Dustin Poirier over 18 months ago. To set up his next fight, he will guest coach opposite from UFC Lightweight contender Michael Chandler on the organisation's produced reality show "The Ultimate Fighter" before facing off with his division rival upon season 31's conclusion.
Although we don't know when exactly the fight will occur yet, there are some facts that can be used to decipher a rough timeline. The latest season is scheduled to run from May 30, 2023, to Aug 15, 2023. And with the two taking a break from training camps during this time, a September date seems most likely.
Sizing up the winner odds for this one pits McGregor as the slight favourite at 5/6, with Chandler a hair over EVS at the time of writing. This head-to-head should be an absolute barn burner in the UFC's most stacked division, where two fighters who are known for their all-action and uncompromising styles are set to collide.
