Alexander Volkanovski upsets Max Holloway for featherweight title

LAS VEGAS -- One of the most impressive runs -- at any weight class -- in UFC history, has come to an end.

Australian featherweight Alexander Volkanovski (21-1) officially ended Max Holloway's (21-5) reign over the UFC's featherweight division on Saturday, as he defeated the formerly dominant champion via unanimous decision at UFC 245 at T-Mobile Arena. Judges scored the 145-pound title fight for Volkanovski 50-45, 48-47 and 48-47.

The loss marked Holloway's first at 145 pounds since 2013, and snaps a 14-win streak within that weight class. It ends his title reign at three successful title defenses.
