The Super Bowl is in the spotlight this week, but UFC 284 provides some big fights the night before on Saturday, February 11. The event takes place at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia and will air across ESPN, ESPN+, and UFC Fight Pass. The early prelims will begin at 6 p.m. ET on UFC Fight Pass and feature four fights. The prelims get started at 8 p.m. and will air on ESPN and ESPN+ with another four fights. The main card is tentatively scheduled to start at 10 p.m. and will only be available on ESPN+ PPV.
The main card features a pair of title fights. Yair Rodriguez and Josh Emmett will face off for the interim featherweight title as the co-main event. The main event will see lightweight champ Islam Makhachev face featherweight champ Alexander Volkanovski with the lightweight title on the line.
Rodriguez (14-3, 1 NC) is a -190 favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook while Emmett (18-2) is a +160 underdog. Rodriguez is coming off a July TKO of Brian Ortega, but had been 1-1-1 in his previous three bouts. Emmett has won five straight bouts, including a June split decision over Calvin Kattar.
Makhachev (23-1) is a -380 favorite while Volkanovski (25-1) is a +310 underdog. Makhachev has won 11 straight bouts, and most recently won the vacant lightweight title with a second-round submission win over Charles Oliveira at UFC 280. Volkanovski has won 22 straight bouts and recently made his fourth consecutive successful defense of the featherweight title when he claimed an unanimous decision over Max Holloway at UFC 276.
