Alexander Volkanovski retook the featherweight throne on Saturday night, besting Diego Lopes in the UFC 314 headliner.
It was a big first round from Volkanovski, who cracked Lopes with a vicious left hand that sent Lopes stumbling back toward the cage wall. ‘The Great’ used that as an opportunity to close the distance and muscle Lopes to the mat. Volkanovski finished the round dropping some nasty ground-and-pound shots.
The chaos continued in the second stanza with both fighters getting rocked.
