The champion halted the undefeated streak of Movsar Evloev at UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi.
Alexander Volkanovski successfully defended his UFC featherweight championship on Saturday at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, UAE, securing a second-round knockout victory over Movsar Evloev, as Sportsnet first reported. According to Sportsnet, the win occurred at UFC 333, where the 38-year-old Volkanovski stopped the previously undefeated Russian fighter to maintain his hold on the 145-pound strap.
While the matchup appeared competitive on paper, Sportsnet reports that Volkanovski's dominant performance demonstrated his standing as one of the greatest mixed martial artists in the sport's history.
Looking ahead, Sportsnet indicates that Volkanovski will likely face Jean Silva in his next outing. Alternatively, he may face the winner of an upcoming bout at UFC Qatar between top contenders Kevin Vallejos and Aljamain Sterling.
