After an absolutely fascinating main event at UFC 314, there was one man left standing as the new UFC featherweight champion – Alexander Volkanovski.
The fan favorite Australian was able to get the job done after an absolutely gruelling battle against top contender Diego Lopes. Both men had their moments, and some would argue Alexander Volkanovski was close to getting finished once again – but he pushed through the pain and made a real statement in front of the mixed martial arts world.
That statement was simple: he is still one of the best fighters on the planet.
