Alexander Volkanovski once again proved to be too much for Max Holloway, defending his title against the Hawaiian via unanimous decision at UFC 276 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The victory for Volkanovski should close the book on what has been an epic trilogy.
Despite their familiarity with one another, there was still an extended feeling-out process in Round 1. However, once they started throwing hands it was Volkanovski's quickness that stood out.
That trend continued as nearly every advance from Blessed was met with sharp counters from the Australian. By the end of the second round, Volkanovski opened up a nasty cut over Holloway's eye.
