Featherweight is the division of great UFC champions. Jose Aldo. Conor McGregor. Max Holloway. Alexander Volkanovski. Ilia Topuria. That’s it. The belt infrequently changes hands, and when it does, the new champion goes on to establish himself as one of the very best in the world at a minimum.

After UFC 333, the Promotional Guidelines Compliance program has now paid out $47 million to athletes since its Venum deal began.

Champion Alexander Volkanovski will defend his featherweight championship when he meets top contender Movsar Evloev in the main event of UFC 333 at Etihad Arena on Yas Island in Yas West, United Arab Emirates on Saturday.
