The fight that UFC fans have been waiting to witness for quite some time is about to take place in a few hours. In the last few weeks, llia Topuria the challenger for Alexander Volkanovski's Featherweight title, has been quite vocal about what he intends to do at the Octagon on February 17 at UFC 298. The claims of El Matador have hyped up the fight, and given interest to the contest where still the immovable force i.e., Alexander Volkanovski will come as the favourite.

Many fans have highlighted the eerie similarities between Alexander Volkanovski vs llia Topuria and Jose Aldo vs Conor McGregor. Much like this fight McGregor vs Aldo, was also hyped up due to similar facets, i.e., both the champion and challenger have been unbeaten in their weight division. Plus, the challenger went on and on about what was going to happen. So, will history repeat or Alexander Volkanovski will once again come out as the winner to cement his legacy forever in the UFC? All to look forward to at UFC 298.

Aside from the headliner fight, the event has a spectacular co-main event as well in the form of Robert Whittaker vs Paulo Costa. Costa has been away for quite some time, thus it will be intriguing to see how he will perform. Whittaker on the other hand will be looking to come back to winning ways after a disappointing result against the now UFC Middleweight Champion, Dricus du Plessis. 

Besides the main and co-main, a stack-up card is lined up. So, without further ado, let's take a look at the UFC 298 Fight Card.
