Triple Take: What is September’s best title fight?

September is here, and with it comes three big MMA title fights.

At ONE Championship: Revolution on Sept. 24, Christian Lee (15-3) defends his lightweight (170 pounds) title against Rae Yoon Ok (15-3), who got his shot thanks to an upset of former UFC and Bellator champion Eddie Alvarez in April.

At UFC 266 on Sept. 25, Valentina Shevchenko (21-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) puts her women’s flyweight title up against Lauren Murphy (15-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) in the co-main event. And in the headliner, featherweight champ Alexander Volkanovski (22-1 MMA, 9-0 UFC) returns against challenger Brian Ortega (15-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC).
