The Aussie, who is already ranked as the pound-for-pound king, will be fighting for UFC gold on home soil for the first time in his career - and the bout is looking to become the most watched event in Australian UFC history.
According to early PPV figures, the champion-vs-champion showdown will even surpass records of Conor McGregor, Robert Whittaker and Brock Lesnar in Australia.
The UFC are already thinking about hosting another event for Volkanovski to headline Down Under later in the year - possibly in a double header with Kiwi superstar Israel Adesanya.
