The UFC made its return to Australia after more than four years Saturday with UFC 284 , which took place at RAC Arena in Perth and marked an historic event. In the headlining act, Islam Makhachev (24-1 MMA, 13-1 UFC) successfully defended his lightweight title for the first time when he earned a unanimous decision win over featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski (25-2 MMA, 12-1 UFC) to extend his winning ways inside the octagon. Additionally, Yair Rodriguez (15-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) claimed interim featherweight gold in the co-main event when he scored a slick second-round submission over Josh Emmett (18-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) to set up a future showdown with Volkanovski.
