UFC 273 live results: Two title fights, Burns vs. Chimaev

Posted on by Ryan Frederick

Welcome to F4WOnline.com’s live coverage of UFC 273: Volkanovski vs. The Korean Zombie, emanating from the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida.

The Octagon returns to Jacksonville for their second straight April pay-per-view event in the arena with another stacked card featuring two title fights and one of the promotion’s big upcoming stars in a big featured bout.

In the main event, UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski makes his fourth title defense as he defends against “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung. Volkanovski is coming off a decision win over Brian Ortega at UFC 266 in September, and has won 20 straight fights. Jung gets his second shot at winning UFC gold and last fought in June, scoring a main event win over Dan Ige.

In the co-main event, it is the long-awaited rematch for the UFC Bantamweight Championship, as current champion Aljamain Sterling and current interim champion Petr Yan look to settle the score. Sterling became the champion at UFC 259 in March 2021 when Yan was disqualified after landing an illegal knee. Sterling ended up having to have neck surgery following the fight, and Yan would win an interim title fight over Cory Sandhagen at UFC 267 in October to set up the rematch.

Also on the main card, former title challenger Gilbert Burns battles the much-hyped and undefeated Khamzat Chimaev in a pivotal welterweight bout. Also, Mackenzie Dern takes on Tecia Torres in a strawweight bout.

Follow along with our live coverage of the event beginning at 6:30 p.m. Eastern time with preliminary action all the way through the main card.

We are looking for your thoughts on tonight’s event, so send a thumbs up, a thumbs down or a thumbs in the middle along with a best fight and a worst fight to Dave at [email protected].

Posted on by Ryan Frederick

Welcome to F4WOnline.com’s live coverage of UFC Fight Night 104: Bermudez vs. The Korean Zombie, emanating from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.

The event is headlined by a five-round bout in the featherweight division as Dennis Bermudez looks to make it three straight wins as he welcomes “The Korean Zombie”, Chan Sung Jung, back to the Octagon.

Bermudez has posted back-to-back wins over Tatsuya Kawajiri and Rony Jason, and he has won nine of his last eleven fights overall. Jung returns from being out of action for three-and-a-half years, two of which were due to military service in his home country of South Korea, and the rest due to recovering from injuries. Jung has been one of the most exciting fighters in the sport, being involved in many “Fight Of The Year” contenders, having won a “Submission Of The Year”, and being tied for the fastest knockout in UFC history.

In the co-main event, Alexa Grasso looks to continue her climb up the strawweight rankings as she fights in the UFC for the second time, putting her undefeated record on the line against Felice Herrig. Also on the main card is another pivotal bout in the strawweight division as Jessica Andrade takes on Angela Hill. Andrade has won two straight and could be in line for a title shot if she defeats Hill, who returns to the UFC on the heels of becoming the strawweight champion in Invicta.
