Seven months into the calendar, UFC 290 features the best card of the year.
No, there isn’t a heavyweight title defense from Jon Jones against Stipe Miocic, which was briefly discussed back in March to be the main event. But from the prelims to the main card, 290 is bringing a loaded set of fights.
Alexander Volkanovski is the right man to headline. He seeks to take another step forward in his pursuit of becoming the greatest featherweight in UFC history (José Aldo, to his credit, is still keeping that seat warm). There is also Jack Della Maddalena on the prelims, as well as Robbie Lawler against Niko Price–and even rising star Cameron Saaiman on the early prelims. And the excitement of the main card.
