Who are Alexander Volkanovski and Movsar Evloev?
Alexander Volkanovski, 37, is featherweight champion for the second time. The Australian won the belt back at UFC 314 in April 2025 against Diego Lopes, then defended it against the same opponent at UFC 325 in Sydney. This is his second defence since regaining the title.
Movsar Evloev (20-0), 32, has never lost as a professional. The Russian, ranked No. 1 at featherweight, earned his shot by beating Lerone Murphy on the scorecards at UFC London in March.
Where do Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili stand?
At one win apiece. Dvalishvili takes the first fight on the scorecards in March 2023; Yan wins the rematch in December 2025 at UFC 323, reclaiming the bantamweight title and ending the Georgian's fourteen-fight winning streak. The Russian now puts it on the line in the decider.
