Islam Makhachev will put his lightweight title on the line against featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski for the second time in 2023.

Makhachev was expected to face Charles Oliveira in a title battle at UFC 294, but an injury to Oliveira has seen Volkanovski step up to fill the void.

Their previous encounter went the distance - all five rounds - with Makhachev coming out on top via unanimous decision.

Volkanovski is the current No.2 in the pound-for-pound rankings, one notch ahead of Makhachev, while former welterweight champion Kamaru Usman is also on the fight card this weekend.
