Current UFC Featherweight Champion Volkanovski, who is 26-3, has held the title for four years, despite challengers like lightweight champ Islam Makhachev trying to win it from him. However, Ilia Topuria, who is 14-0, is no slouch in the octagon either with an undefeated record and a new hunger for glory. Sparks are going to fly in Anaheim tonight!

In fact, EA Sports simulated the bout and the video game developers predict that Volkanovski will win the fight in the third round with an overhand right TKO to retain the championship title. If you’d like to run your own simulation, “UFC 5” is now available for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
