UFC 290: Centre of Interests

Alexander Volkanovski is on the verge of becoming a legend. The sport's current pound-for-pound king, Volkanovski, is quickly running out of formidable opponents at 145 pounds.
Yair Rodriguez has arrived at the pinnacle of his career. Rodriguez has been renowned for a while now for having amazing moments offset by inconsistency, despite the fact that he has only lost twice in 13 UFC bouts.
It's possible that Brandon Moreno's third time will be the charm. On Saturday, Rodriguez will be joined by another face of Mexican MMA's recent rise: Moreno, who regained the flyweight title by stopping former champion Deiveson Figueiredo in their elegant fourth meeting in January.
For Dricus du Plessis's championship ambitions, timing is of the essence. With four knockout victories in his last five bouts since making his UFC debut in 2020, du Plessis has become a formidable contender for the middleweight belt.
Robbie Lawler, the ultimate action hero, goes for one final spin. At age 41, former UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler doesn't have much more to prove. The main event preliminary contest pits the guy widely considered to be the best action fighter in the sport's history against fellow brawler Niko Price.
