Alexander Volkanovski did exactly what he was expected to do at UFC 273, but that doesn’t make his performance any less impressive.
The reigning featherweight champion overwhelmed Chan Sung Jung in all aspects of their fight en route to a fourth-round technical knockout stoppage at Vystar Veteran’s Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla., on Saturday night. Volkanovski was a significant favorite heading into the fight with “The Korean Zombie,” who was a replacement opponent for the injured Max Holloway. Volkanovski has now won 21 straight fights and 11 in a row in UFC competition — the second-longest active winning streak in the Las Vegas-based promotion.
