The main event of UFC 273 is a featherweight championship fight, which you can watch in real time through the official UFC live stream.
The main event of UFC 273 in Jacksonville, Florida, is not one but two title fights, so it’s going to be a bit of a top-heavy stream tonight. The Korean Zombie, Chan Sung Jung, and Alexander Volkanovski will square off at the top of the card.
Alexander “The Great” is currently the overwhelming favourite to win this matchup. To date, the striker from Australia has shown he is more than capable in virtually every situation. Volkanovski appears to be a sure thing, whether he’s laying a trap for an opponent to make a mistake or proving that he has the endurance of a cardio god.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I’d bet on Jung to win this fight. Counters and traps are two things that Jung enjoys as much as Volkanovski does. The only way to pull off an upset in this fight is if he wins by way of one of his many quick and brutal knockouts, which litter his record.
If you place a $100 bet on Volkanovski, you’ll get back $720, whereas if you place a $100 bet on Jung you’ll get back $500.

There will be a title unification match to determine the true UFC Bantamweight Champion directly beneath them on the card as well. Current champion Aljamain Sterling is listed as the underdog (+350) and Petr Yan as the favourite (-475) by DraftKings(opens in new tab). In their previous fight, UFC 259 resulted in a championship victory by DQ, which was a little strange. Due to an unlawful knee strike, Sterling won the championship. Sterling’s neck problems delayed the rematch from taking place at UFC 267.
