The featherweight division has a new king on top after UFC 245. It took the full five rounds for Alexander Volkanovski to grind out a win over Max Holloway by unanimous decision. It was the end of the ‘Blessed Express’ as Volkanovski utilized a great game plan.
That game plan saw him prioritize the leg kicks in order to decrease the movement of Holloway. He landed nearly fifty percent of his total strikes to Holloway’s legs with 75 total leg strikes. For the most part, the fight was close. Volkanovski found most of his success in the first three rounds, out striking Holloway in all three.
