1. **Analyze the Request:** * **Keyword:** "Ufc 290 Date And Time" * **Context:** * Relive biggest moments from Saturday's epic. * MMA # (implies general MMA context). * Ron Perlman narrates (likely the hype video or promo). * Your (incomplete, likely "Your guide to..." or similar). * Alexander Volkanovski 5th title defense interview with Joe Rogan. * The athletes making up the card. * Morning Kombat Host Brian Campbell recap. * Megan Olivi, Teddy Atlas, Brett Okamoto recap. * **Format:** Concise, factual, SEO-friendly HTML. * **Allowed Tags:** h2, h3, p, ul, ol, li, strong, em. * **Length:** 600 to 900 words. * **Headings:** Natural. * **Constraints:** No unsupported claims, no AI mention, no markdown fences. 2. **Determine the Subject Matter:** * The keyword "Ufc 290 Date And Time" suggests an event that has either happened or is upcoming. The context clues ("Relive the biggest moments," "Volkanovski fifth title defense," "Saturday's epic") strongly imply the event has already occurred (UFC 290 took place on July 8, 2023). * *Correction/Refinement:* Writing an article about the *date and time* of an event that already passed requires framing it as a recap or a "What happened at..." article, while still optimizing for the search term. I need to answer the query (When was it?) and then provide the value (Recap of the event mentioned in the context). * *Key Event Details (Fact Check):* UFC 290 was indeed July 8, 2023, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Main event: Islam Makhachev vs. Alexander Volkanovski (Lightweight title). Co-main: Brandon Moreno vs. Alexandre Pantoja (Flyweight title). 3. **Drafting - Structure:** * **H1:** (Implicitly handled by the user request, but I'll start with an H2 for the main structure or just a strong intro).

UFC 290 Date and Time: A Recap of the Epic Event

`. * **Introduction:** State the date/time clearly (July 8, 2023, Las Vegas). Mention the significance (International Fight Week). * **Section 1: The Main Event (Makhachev vs. Volkanovski):** Use context about Volkanovski's 5th defense attempt (though he lost this one, the context says he spoke to Rogan following his *defense* - wait, Volkanovski was *challenging* for the lightweight title. He was the featherweight king. Context says "fifth title defense" - this is tricky. Volkanovski *defended* his featherweight belt previously. At UFC 290, he was fighting for the lightweight belt. The context says "fifth title defense" - perhaps the user meant a different event or there's a slight inaccuracy in the provided context snippet. *Correction:* Actually, Volkanovski's fight with Makhachev at 284 was his challenge. At 290, he was on the card. Wait, let me double-check the specific context: "Featherweight king Alexander Volkanovski spoke to Joe Rogan following his fifth title defense, this..." -> This phrasing implies he *defended* a title. If this refers to UFC 290, it might be a mistake in the provided context, as Makhachev won. *However*, I must use the context when useful. If the context says he spoke to Rogan following his fifth title defense, I should frame it around his interview, perhaps acknowledging his status as Featherweight King even if he lost the lightweight bid, or maybe the context implies a hypothetical or a specific angle. * *Re-evaluating UFC 290 Card:* * Main: Islam Makhachev (c) vs.
