Volkanovski’s featherweight championship defense was originally planned for March at UFC 260, but the bout was postponed due to the Australian’s positive COVID-19 test, allowing both competitors to coach on The Ultimate Fighter 29.
Given that Ortega returned from a two-year hiatus due to injury in October when he shut out Chan Sung Jung over five rounds to secure a second championship chance, the 145-pound division has been dormant for some time now. Finally, the action will return at the top in Volkanovski’s second defense after defeating Max Holloway in 2019.
