The UFC brings us one of the most heavily stacked pay-per-view cards of the year in April. UFC 273 is set to take place at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida, on April 9.
The pay-per-view is headlined by a featherweight title bout between the reigning champ from Australia, Alexander Volkanovski, and Chan Sung Jung, popularly known as 'The Korean Zombie'.
The co-main event features a much-anticipated rematch for the bantamweight title between Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan. Sterling currently holds the bantamweight title while Yan is the interim champ. Their first fight ended in a DQ after Yan hit Sterling in the face with an illegal knee strike. The fans have been anxiously waiting for the rematch ever since.
