UFC 273: Volkanovski vs 'The Korean Zombie' will be the next pay-per-view offering from the MMA juggernaut. The event is set to take place on Saturday, April 9, 2022, at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, United States. It will serve up a total of five fights on the main card, including two title bouts.

In the main event, Alexander Volkanovski will put his featherweight title on the line against No. 4-ranked contender Chan Sung Jung. After nearly nine years, 'The Korean Zombie' will have the opportunity to step under the bright lights and fight for a UFC title.

Taking the co-main event spot will be a long-awaited bantamweight title showdown between reigning champion Aljamain Sterling and interim titleholder Petr Yan. Both fighters will look to settle the score, which intensified at UFC 259 when 'No Mercy' was disqualified after driving a brutal illegal knee into Sterling's head.

The main card will also see rising UFC prospect Khamzat Chimaev return to action to take on former title challenger and No. 2-ranked welterweight in Gilbert Burns.

There are multiple crackstream, Reddit stream, and buffstream alternatives to watch the event.
