Tonight’s co-main event featured a highly anticipated trilogy bout between featherweight champ Alexander Volkanovski and former champ Max Holloway.
It was good back and fourth battle and probably the last title shot of Max Holloway against Alexander Volkanovski.
The fight was all about Volkonovski’s hands and Holloway’s chin!
Official Result: Alex Volkanovski def. Max Holloway via UD (50-45 x 3).
Max is all heart. Pure grit.#UFC276 pic.twitter.com/FI71I9I3Fh

Volkanovski doesn’t get enough credit. One of the toughest, most explosive fighters in the midst of his Prime. What a performance #UFC276

Alexander Volkanovski has won 22 fights in a row. If Kamaru Usman doesn't exist this man is the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Might still be, anyway. #UFC276

While the commentary seems to revolve around the speed of Volk, I’m more impressed by the traps that Alexander is setting up with his jab. Whether he’s luring Max in and countering or freezing Max up with feints and attacking, Volk is looking improved yet again.
