UFC 290: An event that can change the course of UFC forever

UFC 290 answered a lot of important questions that loyal UFC fans have been asking for months now. Alexander Volkanovski had been ruling as the Featherweight champion but Yair Rodriguez’s impressive skills led fans to believe that it may be time for Volkanovski to have to give up the title to Rodriguez. However, Volkanovski went and won a great victory over his opponent, removing the top contender as a threat.

Dricus Du Plessis, who has been beefing with Israel Adesanya for a while now and hopes to get a title match, came one step closer to turning that into a reality. Going in as a major underdog in his UFC 290 fight against one of the division’s best – Robert Whittaker, Du Plessis put on an impressive display as he made quick work of Whittaker, securing his spot as one of the top contenders for the Middleweight title.

Pantoja’s excellent win over Moreno, paired with the Main Event and the Whittaker-Du Plessis fight makes the UFC 290 one of the greatest events of the promotion.
