MASSIVE MIDDLEWEIGHT MATCH! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) makes its highly anticipated return to Sydney, Australia, for the first time in five years on Sat., Sept. 9, 2023, with a 185-pound world title fight inside Qudos Bank Arena. In the ESPN+-streamed pay-per-view (PPV) main event, Middleweight roost-ruler, Israel Adesanya, plans to silence No. 5-seeded contender, Sean Strickland. In UFC 293’s hard-hitting Heavyweight co-main event, No-6-ranked fan favorite, Tai Tuivasa, locks horns with towering Russian, Alexander Volkov (No. 8).
In addition to the 145-pound headliner, reigning UFC women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko will put her title on the line against Lauren Murphy in co-main event action, and MMA legend Nick Diaz will return after a six-year hiatus to run things back with Robbie Lawler in a five-round middleweight fight.
