Alexander Volkanovski is far from done. With a chance to make history, the living legend showed why he is one of the greatest talents of his era, turning in a vintage performance on Saturday at UFC 314 to kick off a second UFC featherweight title reign with a gritty decision win over Diego Lopes.
Volkanovski, 36, is now the first fighter under 155 pounds to capture a UFC belt over the age of 35. He's also just the second featherweight ever to reclaim the belt after losing it, joining fellow legend Jose Aldo.
In doing so, Volkanovski fended off any concerns that his time at the top had passed following back-to-back knockout losses to Islam Makhachev and Ilia Topuria.
