Whittaker vs. Costa & Neal vs. Machado Garry Set to Ignite UFC 298



In the electrifying world of UFC, the upcoming UFC 298 event in Anaheim, California is poised to be an adrenaline-pumping spectacle, with two pivotal showdowns confirmed to grace the octagon. UFC CEO Dana White made a thunderous announcement on Instagram, revealing two blockbuster matchups that promise fireworks.


Former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker is set to lock horns with the formidable Paulo Costa in a high-stakes battle. Initially slated for UFC 284, their clash was derailed due to contractual disagreements. Whittaker, ranked at No. 3 in the middleweight division, aims to rebound from his recent TKO loss against Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 290. His opponent, Costa, ranked at No. 6, last impressed fight fans with a scintillating victory over Luke Rockhold but was sidelined due to health woes.


Adding to the thrill, a welterweight spectacle pits Geoff Neal against Ian Machado Garry. Neal ranked at No. 8, seeks redemption following a submission defeat to Shavkat Rakhmonov. On the other side, Machado Garry, holding the No. 10 spot, looks to maintain his momentum after a dominant display against Neil Magny, albeit being sidelined due to health issues.


The UFC 298 event at the Honda Center on Feb. 17 promises a night of unbridled excitement. As the featherweight title bout between Alexander Volkanovski and Ilia Topuria takes center stage, fight aficionados can anticipate a rollercoaster of skill, strategy, and unrelenting action.


Mark your calendars and brace yourselves for an unforgettable night, where the octagon becomes a canvas for courage, strength, and the pursuit of glory. UFC 298 promises to be an event where champions rise, dreams are realized, and the fight game's drama unfolds spectacularly.
