UFC 284 mixed martial arts tournament will be held on February 12 in Perth, Australia. The main event will feature Russian fighter Islam Makhachev's first defense of the lightweight championship belt against Alex Volkanovski.
According to Telecom Asia Sport on-the-scene reporter, all tickets to the upcoming event are already sold out. Russian fans who arrived to see Makhachev are forced to buy VIP tickets for $7,000.
The two striking lads from Bashkiria, Russia, have been drawing a lot of attention in Perth, Australia, for quite a while now. The fans of Islam Makhachev had a difficult journey and spent an insane amount of money on tickets. They hope to get on stage during the weigh-in ceremony, just as ACB head Mairbek Khasiev did recently. Despite the lack of advertising in the city, there's tremendous excitement in Perth.
