UFC 294 will be headlined by a rematch of arguably the best fight of 2023 for the lightweight title between Islam Makhachev and featherweight titleholder Alexander Volkanovski. With Volkanovski stepping in on 12 days' notice, will he be able to avenge to sole loss of his UFC career?

MMA Fighting's Mike Heck, Shaheen Al-Shatti, and Alexander K. Lee preview the second meeting between the pound-for-pound greats, what a win for both guys mean, and predictions for who leaves Abu Dhabi with the 155-pound title. Additionally, they'll discuss the intriguing middleweight co-main event between former welterweight champ Kamaru Usman and the returning Khamzat Chimaev, other interesting storylines for Saturday's early slate of fights, and more.
