UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski is training hard to fight Yair Rodriguez at UFC 290. People expect the bout between the two tough fighters to blow the roof off the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Fans are eagerly waiting for July 8 to see Volkanovski back. ‘The Great’s last fight against Islam Makhachev disappointed the MMA community. The fight was a highly close affair, and many expected the Australian to win. However, after five rounds, the judges scored in favor of Makhachev.

Many are eagerly waiting to find out if the 34-year-old will be able to defend his title. At the moment, Volkanovski is breaking hearts by training with the very famous YouTuber and WWE star Logan Paul. Fans felt that the featherweight champion was not going to gain anything by training with Paul.
