Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is just one day away from the upcoming UFC 293 pay-per-view (PPV) mixed martial arts (MMA) event on ESPN+, scheduled for this Sat. night (Sept. 9, 2023) at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia. UFC 293 will be headlined by the middleweight title fight pitting reigning 185-pound kingpin Israel Adesanya against No. 5-ranked contender Sean Strickland, a five-round showdown that follows the heavyweight collision between local hero Tai Tuivasa and Russian import Alexander Volkov.
