With a card that includes two title fights, UFC fans won’t want to miss a second of the action. Fortunately, your friends at Betting News have everything you need to know ahead of UFC 290, ranging from each fight’s background to the latest betting odds, courtesy of BetOnline.
UFC 290 will take place on Saturday, July 8, 2023.
UFC 290 will take place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Fans wanting to check out the early prelims can do so exclusively with the UFC Fight Pass. The UFC 290 preliminary action can then be viewed on both ESPN and ABC while the main card is available on ESPN+ and pay-per-view providers across North America.
The main event of the weekend is a massive one as Yair Rodriguez (15-3, 1NC) and Alexander Volkanovski (25-2) go head-to-head to crown a unified UFC Featherweight Champion.
After dominating the featherweight division, Volkanovski moved up a weight class to fight Islam Makhachev for the lightweight championship at UFC 284. Unfortunately, he was unsuccessful, losing by unanimous decision.
Nevertheless, Volkanovski’s change in weight class meant that the promotion needed to crown an interim champion in the meantime. Rodriguez rose to the occasion without issue, defeating Josh Emmett by second-round submission to capture the interim gold at UFC 284.
The UFC 290 main event marks both men’s first fight since their latest outings. It’ll be interesting to see if Volkanovski returns to his dominant form that saw him 22 consecutive victories before his loss to Makhachev. “The Great” also has four successful defenses as featherweight champion, beating names like Brian Ortega, Max Holloway, and Jung Chan-sung.
Oddsmakers also imply that this fight is heavily in Volkanovski’s favor, leaving time to tell if Rodriguez can pull off the upset to notch the biggest win in his career.
The second title matchup at UFC 290 sees Brandon Moreno (21-6-2) put the UFC Flyweight Championship on the line against the red-hot Alexandre Pantoja (25-5).
Moreno’s first flyweight championship reign came to a halt at UFC 270, losing to Deiveson Figueiredo by unanimous decision. The 29-year-old didn’t let the loss keep him down, winning the interim flyweight gold with a first-round knockout win over Kai Kara-France before defeating Figueiredo (by TKO) in a unification bout six months later.
Meanwhile, Pantoja is 9-3 in the UFC since his arrival in 2017. He heads to Sin City on a three-fight winning streak, having submitted Brandon Royval and Alex Perez in his latest two fights. Even more impressive is that Pantojja earned ‘performance of the night’ recognition for both of those victories.
Two of the UFC’s top middleweight are set to collide as Robert Whittaker (24-6) takes on Dricus du Plessis (19-2).
After a failed bid to defeat Israel Adesanya for the middleweight title at UFC 271, Whittaker bounced back by defeating Marvin Vettori by unanimous decision seven months later. A former interim UFC Middleweight Champion and currently the division’s No. 2 fighter, a victory would bring Whittaker one step closer to glory.
Du Plessis, on the other hand, is white hot entering this showdown. The South African competitor has only lost twice in 21 previous fights and has won his last seven outings in a row. He’s also finished off four of his first five UFC opponents, winning three times by KO/TKO and once by submission.
Jalin Turner (13-6) and Dan Hooker (22-12) both hope to rise up the lightweight rankings with a victory at UFC 290.
Turner was on top of the world from February 2020 to July 2022, winning five consecutive fights via KO/TKO or submission during that stretch. Unfortunately, his momentum came to a screeching stop when he lost to Mateusz Gamrot by split decision at UFC 285.
Meanwhile, Hooker looked like his best days were behind him when he went on a 1-5 run over a two-year stretch. He found a way to silence the doubters, though, knocking Claudio Puelles with a stiff body kick back in November. It remains to be seen if the victory was a fluke or the start of more positive results to come.
Bo Nickal (4-0) is the major favorite in his middleweight contest with Tresean Gore (4-2) this weekend.
Nickal — a three-time NCAA Division I National Champion in wrestling — has plowed through the competition in his young MMA career. He defeated each of his first four opponents in the opening round, most recently submitting Jamie Pickett at UFC 285 with a triangle choke.
In other words, Gore has his work cut out for him. The 29-year-old veteran has been shaky in the UFC thus far, losing back-to-back fights to begin his run before submitting Josh Fremd back in October.
One of two welterweight preliminary card fights sees Robbie Lawler (29-16, 1NC) going one-on-one with Niko Price (15-6, 2NC).
An UNFORGETTABLE staredown. 😳

— UFC Europe (@UFCEurope) June 30, 2023
After losing the UFC Welterweight title in 2016, Lawler has been trending in the wrong direction, going an abysmal 1-5 in his last six fights. He looks to turn things around against Price, who’s coming off a third-round lockout loss to Philip Rowe back in December. The 33-year-old has never lost consecutive fights before, leaving time to tell if that trend changes.
The second welterweight fight of the UFC 290 preliminary card features rising star Jack Della Maddalena (14-2) duking it out with the debuting Josiah Harrell (7-0).
Della Maddalena is now a perfect 5-0 in the UFC, most recently submitting Randy Brown at UFC 284 to earn ‘performance of the night’ honors for the third straight fight. Meanwhile, Harrell is set to make his promotional debut after finishing his first seven MMA opponents (four by knockout, three by submission).
Yazmin Jauregui (10-0) is the massive favorite in her women’s strawweight fight with Denis Gomes (7-2) this weekend.
Jauregui isn’t showing any signs of slowing down her undefeated ways, scoring wins over Iasmin Lucindo and Istela Nunes — by points and TKO, respectively — to begin her UFC run. Standing in her way of an 11th straight victory is Gomes, who’s coming off an impressive TKO victory over Bruna Brasil at UFC on ESPN 44.
In a UFC 290 preliminary fight that could go either way, Jimmy Crute (12-3-1) and Alonzo Menifield (13-3-1) collide for the second time in as many fights.
The light heavyweight duo previously met at UFC 284, fighting to a majority draw after three rounds. With Crute being the No. 14-ranked light heavyweight and Menifield currently unranked, it’s clear how important a victory is for both fighters this Saturday night.
Tatsuro Taira (13-0) was supposed to compete at UFC Vegas 76, but his fight was canceled after Kleydson Rodrigues failed to make weight. Instead, the Japanese prodigy takes on Edgar Chairez (10-4), who’s previously fought on Dana White’s Contender Series.
Taira has remained undefeated through his first three UFC bouts, winning twice by submission and once by unanimous decision. At the same time, Chairez hopes to impress after back-to-back submission victories over Roberto Guerrero and Gianni Di Chiara Vazquez.
The undefeated Vitor Petrino (8-0) is the clear favorite in his light heavyweight battle with Marcin Prachnio (16-6) at UFC 290.
After knocking out six of his first seven opponents, Petrino heads into the weekend following a unanimous decision win over Anton Turkalj back in March. Continuing that streak won’t be easy, though. After all, Prachnio improved to 3-1 in his last four fights after overcoming William Knight by points at UFC Vegas 69.
Terrence Mitchell (14-2) aims to be the first man to defeat Cameron Saaiman (8-0) when they meet under the bright Sin City lights.
Mitchell brings an 11-fight winning streak into his UFC debut, having finished each one of those foes within the first two rounds. Nevertheless, victory won’t come easy against Saaiman, who’s won back-to-back UFC PPV fights in dominant fashion, knocking out Steven Koslow before defeating Leomana Martinez by majority decision three months later.
Another interesting UFC 290 early prelims scrap is the flyweight showdown between Shannon Ross (12-7) and Jesus Santos Aguilar (8-2).
Ross desperately needs a statement performance after opening his UFC tenure with two straight knockout losses. Fortunately for the underdog, Aguilar also lost his most recent fight, submitting to Taira in just four minutes and 20 seconds at UFC Fight Night 218.
Lastly, the early action also features Kamuela Kirk (12-5) and Esteban Ribovics (11-1) engaging in a lightweight matchup.
Kirk’s three-fight winning streak came to an end at UFC Fight Night 203 as the Arizonan talent found himself submitting to Damon Jackson. Meanwhile, Ribovics is in unfamiliar territory after suffering his first-ever loss at the hands of Loik Radzhabov (by unanimous decision) at UFC 285.

What on earth has happened to our political culture?
Remember stories of Democrats and Republicans in Congress disagreeing on the floor of their respective chambers and then joining each other for dinner with their families? Remember when Joe Biden and John McCain loved each other?
As we say in the South, “them days are gone.” Nowadays, members are more likely to punch each other, or at least give it some thought. This month has been especially embarrassing in the “let’s rumble” department.
It began with a heated exchange between Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin and a Teamster official testifying before a Senate committee. The two men, both of a brawny, macho-man sort, apparently have a history of bad blood between them. What should have been a Q&A between Senator and witness degenerated into a “take-it-outside moment,” with Senator Mullin standing to leave his committee chair and head down toward the witness. That prompted the committee chair, 82-year-old Senator Bernie Sanders, to shout, “Sit down! You are a United States Senator. Act it!” Blessedly, Mullin did as he was told, but the mortifying moment lives forever on the internet.
But wait! There is even more bad blood!
A Tennessee Congressman who vowed to remove former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy from the Speaker’s chair accused McCarthy of elbowing him in his kidney while charging through the halls of Congress. McCarthy denied the accusation, but an NPR reporter who was interviewing the Congressman when McCarthy barreled down the hall later tweeted that McCarthy “shoved” the Congressman and that she had “NEVER seen this on Capitol Hill.”
And, there was a Congressional taunt, highly inappropriate but amusing nevertheless. A House committee chair, James Comer, got into a tense exchange with a committee member of the opposite political persuasion. Arguing over President Biden’s finances and the chair’s personal finances, Comer lost his temper, used the word “bull****” in his role as chair, and finished up by yelling at his blue plaid sportscoat-clad Congressional colleague, “You look like a Smurf!”
Of course, the ongoing saga of George Santos continues with shocking revelations from the House Ethics Committee that he used his campaign funds for trips, gambling, fancy shoes, Botox treatments and a membership to a porn website, among other expenses. The report is on top of all the lies the man has told and various swindles he is alleged to have devised.
Really? Is there no shame, even when well-earned?
The United States is now less than a year away from a Presidential election year and all manner of down-ballot contests, and I do not know a single soul who is looking forward to it.
As we consider the candidates we will support, no matter whether we are Democrats, Republicans, or unaffiliateds, please, please, please look for candidates who are reasonable and responsible adults, not hotheaded partisans of any stripe. Look for people who have a demonstrated record of supporting what is best for our community, state, and nation as opposed to a partisan or special interest agenda. Look for people you would feel comfortable visiting your own home in the presence of your own family.
And, yes, I agree that some of this outrageous behavior would be laughable if it were not so terrifying that these are the people in charge of our government.
