The UFC’s return to Australia featured a battle between the pound-for-pound best.
UFC 284, which took place this past Saturday at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia, marked the promotion’s first event in Australia since 2019. The card featured a superfight between the UFC’s No. 1 and No. 2 pound-for-pound fighters, an interim featherweight title fight and a showcase of plenty of Aussie talent.
In the main event, Islam Makhachev retained his lightweight title against featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski, who tested Makhachev like no one has before. Volkanovski was a big underdog, and his valiant effort resulted in him maintaining the No. 1 pound-for-pound spot, despite losing the fight.
With the event now in the books, the UFC has released the latest edition of “Fight Motion,” a feature of super-slow motion video highlights looking back at the event.
