Australian fighter Alexander “The Great” Volkanovski holds the UFC featherweight belt. At UFC 284 from Perth, Australia, he’s on the hunt for “double champ” status when he moves up a weight class to take on the current lightweight champ, and Khabib Nurmagomedov protege, Islam Makhachev.

UFC 284 storylines and predictions
One of the biggest storylines heading into UFC 284 is Islam Makhachev’s dissatisfaction with how the event was promoted.
As an avid UFC fan, I do take issue with the complaints by Makhachev simply because the fight is quite far away, and after the Main Event, which is intriguing, this is a lackluster fight card that might be better suited as a Fight Night in the Apex. Perhaps it was hard to get fighters to travel all the way to Australia. Having said that, outside of Makhachez, the fight styles on the card feature strikers, so UFC 284 Perth could have some fireworks.
