Alexander Volkanovski vs The Korean Zombie is set to headline UFC 273, and pro fighters have now given their predictions ahead of the Featherweight Title fight.
Although the originally planned fight would’ve seen Max Holloway take on Volkanovski in a rematch for the title, having Chan Sung Jung available is a great replacement for the main event.
Unfortunately for fight fans in the United Kingdom, this is going to be a late one! UFC events usually go into the early hours of the morning, and this is no different.

Volkanovski vs The Korean Zombie Predictions
#6 ranked UFC Welterweight Stephen Thompson gave his prediction for the fight whilst speaking to BJPenn.com: “I got Volkanovski, his cardio, and the way he has just gone through Holloway and Ortega have been impressive. I would love for Zombie to become a UFC champ but I have to go with Volkanovski.”
Ian Garry also gave his opinion on this weekend’s clash, again speaking to BJPenn.com about the Featherweight title showdown: “I think Volkanovski. He’s an animal and absolutely brilliant. He has shown he is elite at everything and I think he dominates Zombie.”
