The headliner is a featherweight title fight between champion Alexander Volkanovski<\/a> (27-4 MMA, 14-3 UFC) and Diego Lopes<\/a> (27-7 MMA, 6-2 UFC), a rematch from 2025 when Volkanovski reclaimed the vacant title with a unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

In the co-feature, Dan Hooker (24-13 MMA, 14-9 UFC) meets newly surging French lightweight Benoit Saint Denis (16-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) with both looking to climb back into the title picture.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0sixth episode of “Embedded” follows the featured fighters while they get ready for fight week. Here is the UFC’s description of the episode from YouTube:<\/p>\n
