UFC returns tonight live for UFC 290 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, with the main card on pay-per-view. The card is headlined by two championship fights, with the featherweight and flyweight titles on the line.

Main Event: Alexander Volkanovski vs. Yair Rodriguez

One of the featured matches on the card is the main event between UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski and interim champion Yair Rodriguez. Volkanovski hopes to rebound from his unanimous decision loss against UFC Lightweight Champion Islam Mackhachev at UFC 284 on Feb. 11. His return to featherweight to defend the title could lead to Volkanovski getting another chance against the lightweight champion if he is victorious. However, Rodriguez’s unpredictability makes tonight’s title fight an intriguing matchup, as Volkanovski must be cautious.

Co-Main Event: Brandon Moreno vs. Alexandre Pantoja

The co-main event will have UFC Flyweight Champion Brandon Moreno looking to defend his title against Alexandre Pantoja in a trilogy. Pantoja had the edge over Moreno in their two previous fights but Moreno hopes to show that he is a different fighter today.

Retirement Fight: Robbie Lawler vs. Niko Price

Tonight’s live UFC event in Las Vegas, Nevada, will also feature the retirement fight for Robbie Lawler as he faces Niko Price in the preliminary card headliner. After over 20 years as a competitor, Lawler has decided that UFC 290 will be his last time fighting in UFC. He’ll try to end his career on a high night by beating Price in what could be an exciting bout.
