Which fighters have the edge at UFC 294? We break down the two new featured fights for Abu Dhabi.
, has not fought since his last title defense against Volkanovski at UFC 284 in February. Volkanovski, ESPN's No. 1 P4P fighter, took this fight on short notice aftergives her perspective on the UFC 294 main and co-main events. ESPN's betting experts Reed Kuhn and Ian Parker add their insights and analysis on the main event and other intriguing bets they like on the card.The same way he won in the first fight -- grab a hold of Volkanovski and keep him down.
This situation is a win-win for Volkanovski. He doesn't lose anything by taking this fight on short notice. All of the odds are stacked against him, but he's a guy that rises to the occasion. I don't think the fact that he hasn't had a camp is going to be a factor in this fight. Volkanovski is a machine. He just doesn't tire. I think he's going to go into this fight more free than we've seen him before because he has nothing to lose.
On paper, Usman's grappling stats are just below Chimaev's, but that's also accumulated through 10 times the total Octagon time, and Usman has consistently fought top talent. Considering that Chimaev has the worst head strike defense on the entire fight card, and that Usman throws with above-average power and precision, there's actually a path to an upset.
