Deep down inside, Alexander Volkanovski knew he should have been fighting Max Holloway at UFC 240 on Saturday night but rather than sulk about it, he flew halfway around the world just to get a front row seat to watch the action unfold.
Holloway earned a unanimous decision victory over perennial contender Frankie Edgar to defend his featherweight title for the third consecutive time. Time and time again, Holloway made Edgar pay by using his long reach and active striking attack as he busted up the New Jersey native’s nose and had him in serious trouble a couple of times over the course of 25 minutes.
