Brett Appley previews UFC 294, which has two big-name fights on the card with some late replacement fighters.
What a spectacular slate we have set up this weekend in Abu Dhabi as Islam Makhachev puts his lightweight title on the line once again versus the current featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski. Plus, Kamaru Usman will step up on short notice to fight the destroyer Khamzat Chimaev. It should be an epic card. Advertisement I’m going to break down both those fights below, along with one of my favorite undercard bouts in Nathaniel Wood vs. Muhammad Naimov.
While he’s been an impressive fighter to watch, most of those wins have come against very low-level competition, and he hasn’t faced much adversity. We only really have a one-fight sample in which Chimaev was tested, which came in his decision win over Gilbert Burns in 2022. That fight was exciting, and back-and-forth, but I didn’t come away thinking Chimaev would be a dominant champion because of it.
