The UFC’s first pay-per-view of the year is upon us, as UFC 311 culminates in two title fights this weekend. In the main event, Islam Makhachev defends the lightweight title in a rematch with Arman Tsarukyan, six years after beating him. In that initial meeting, Makhachev outpointed Tsarukyan, who was making his UFC debut and stepping in on short notice. Tsarukyan, 28, has improved since then, but so has 33-year-old Makhachev, our pound-for-pound No 1 UFC fighter.
