After a pair of unsuccessful attempts at seizing the UFC lightweight title from Islam Makhachev, featherweight king Alexander Volkanovski returns to the featherweight fold at UFC 298 on February 17 in Anaheim, California to defend his throne against the challenge posed by the unbeaten Ilia Topuria.
