UFC 298 on TV and live stream: Volkanovski v Topuria UK time, TV and fight card
Your complete guide to UFC 298, including the Alexander Volkanovski v Ilia Topuria start time, fight card and TV coverage details.
UFC 298 offers up a terrific title scrap between Alexander Volkanovski and Ilia Topuria in Anaheim, California, USA this weekend.
Featherweight champion Volkanovski has successfully defended the title since a victory over Max Holloway at UFC 245 in 2019.
He has enjoyed such dominance over the featherweight division that he went for a shot at lightweight champion Islam Makhachev. However, he was defeated twice, most recently in October 2023 – his latest UFC showdown.
Volkanovski will be determined to return to winning ways when he faces rising superstar Ilia Topuria, who enters the Octagon with a spotless 14-0 winning record.
The 27-year-old is ranked as the No.3 challenger in the featherweight division and he will see this as a huge opportunity to demonstrate his talents against a high-calibre opponent. They don't come a whole lot more challenging than Volkanovski.
