Featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski is set to defend his title against Yair Rodriguez in the main event next weekend.

It's going to be a thrilling match as Volkanovski recognizes Rodriguez's unpredictability, knockout power, and diverse skill set. The fight is scheduled for Saturday, July 8 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
