Volkanovski Reflects on Holloway Rivalry: ‘He’s Made Me Raise the Bar’

There’s no doubt this time around: Alexander Volkanovski brought closure to his rivalry with Max Holloway at UFC 276 on Saturday night.

The City Kickboxing stalwart was dominant in a unanimous decision triumph over the popular Hawaiian, sweeping the scorecards by a trio of 50-to-45 counts. Unlike the first two meetings, there was no debate about who deserved to get the nod. And no matter what popular opinion might be, the record shows that Volkanovski is 3-0 in his trilogy against Holloway.

“It’s been a bit of a journey this rivalry,” Volkanovski said at the UFC 276 post-fight press conference.
