These previews are coming a week early due to travel constraints making it impossible to post previews next week. While odds are subject to change and cancellations do happen, enjoy the early gift!

The UFC 298 card features twelve bouts, all of which will be previewed in this post. The card will be headlined by a title fight for the men’s featherweight belt. Defending champion Alexander Volkanovski (pictured left) will face off against Georgian contender Ilia Topuria. The co-main will see former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker face former title challenger Paulo Costa.

All win probabilities are based off of a fighter’s Cage Calculus (CC) Rating and their place in the CC Rankings. The fighter’s name highlighted in green at the bottom of the panel indicates the editor’s pick to win. Also featured below their record and rating is their divisional rankings in the CC Rankings and the official UFC Rankings. Any fighter falling outside of the top 15 of their respective division is classified as NR (not ranked).
