Islam Makhachev’s second win over Alexander Volkanovski was much more definitive than the first.
In the UFC 294 main event, Makhachev (25-1 MMA, 14-1 UFC) finished Volkanovski (26-3 MMA, 13-2 UFC) with a head kick and punches at 3:06 of Round 1. The event took place at Etihad Arena on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.
A left high kick was the game-changer. It was a tool Makhachev used frequently in their first meeting, a fight he won by unanimous decision at UFC 284 in February.
