How to watch UFC 266: Volkanovski vs Ortega on UK TV

Australian fighter Alexander Volkanovski puts his Featherweight Championship on the line at UFC 266 against the American Brian Ortega.

Since making his UFC debut in 2016, Volkanovski has been unbeaten in nine bouts.

His flawless form led to a title shot against Max Holloway at UFC 245, a fight he won by unanimous decision.

The rematch with Holloway that took place at UFC 251 was a closer contest, but Volkanovski again came out on top, retaining his title this time by a split decision.

Volkanovski versus Ortega had originally been scheduled to take place at UFC 260 but was postponed due to COVID-19 protocols.
