The other two title fights may not offer up the bad blood that the main event possesses, but they are intriguing bouts nonetheless. The co-main event will see featherweight kingpin Max Holloway put his belt on the line against Alexander Volkanovski. Holloway (145) has lived up to his nickname as he's been blessed in his UFC career. Undefeated at featherweight since 2014, "Blessed" has dismantled the best the division has to offer including Frankie Edgar, Brian Ortega and Jose Aldo. His only loss in that period came after a trip to lightweight to vie for the interim strap against Dustin Poirier at UFC 236. Volkanovski (144.5) has also last tasted defeat in 2013, and is riding an impressive 17-fight win streak that includes victories over Aldo, Chad Mendes and Darren Elkins.
Last but not least of the five-round bouts is a women's bantamweight encounter between pound-for-pound great Amanda Nunes and former featherweight queen Germaine de Randamie. Nunes (134.5) is on a historic win streak that includes her capturing UFC gold at both bantamweight and featherweight. Meanwhile, de Randamie (134.5) earned her No. 1 contender spot with an impressive 16-second TKO domination over Aspen Ladd.
