Alexander Volkanovski is atop the throne once again.
In the UFC 314 main event Saturday, Volkanovski (27-5 MMA, 14-4 UFC) defeated Diego Lopes (27-6 MMA, 6-1 UFC) via unanimous decision (48-47, 49-46, 49-46). The vacant featherweight title fight took place at Kaseya Center in Miami.
Entering the fight, questions were raised about Volkanovski’s chin and how he’d bounce back from back-to-back knockout losses. However, from the opening bell, Volkanovski showed no fear. He marched toward Lopes in an aggressive attack.
