UFC action return to the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas this weekend, with a long-awaited Featherweight reunification battle between Alex Volkanovski and Yair Rodriguez.

Rodríguez meanwhile comes into this clash off the back of an impressive win over Josh Emmett in February that saw him installed as the Interim titleholder.
Saturday's co-main event will meanwhile feature a flyweight title fight as Brandon Moreno puts his belt on the line against Alexandre Pantoja.

Who is Alexander Volkanovski?
Alexander "The Great" Volkanovski is the No.1 pound-for-pound fighter in the UFC and the featherweight champion, and his run of 12 consecutive wins had been the longest active streak in the UFC.
The erstwhile semi-professional rugby league player and professional boxer has got the better of some of the biggest names in the sport, including Max Holloway, Jung Chan-sung and Brian Ortega, and is now on the brink of consideration as one of the all-time greats.
Instantly recognizable because of his short and extremely stocky frame, Volkanovski, he missed out on becoming the fifth UFC fighter to reign supreme in two different divisions at the same time with a point defeat to Islam Makhachev last time out at UFC 284.
Who is Yair Rodriguez?
Hailing from Chihuahua in Mexico, Yair Rodriguez has more than earned the right to fight for the title.
The 30-year-old's career has seen him beat an impressive list of credible fighters including Josh Emmett, Jeremy Stephens, Korean Zombie Jung Chan-sung, BJ Penn and Dan Hooker.
Currently boasting a 15-3-0 (1 NC) record that includes five knockouts and four submissions, the former Ultimate Fighter: Latin America winner's main weapon is his unpredictable footwork which regularly catches his opponents off guard.
Volkanovski vs Rodriguez: who is favorite to win?
Volkanovski is the clear favourite with the bookies to become unified champ, with the Australian marked out around the 2/7 mark to win, while Rodriguez's odds of victory are currently floating around 5/2.
