Apparently, the new victory of Alexander Volkanovsky it also served as a 'breather'. Featherweight champion (up to 65,7kg), the Australian reveals that he feels relieved to overcome Max Holloway in dominant performance and vents about critics' suspicions before the UFC 276, event held last Saturday (2).
“I had to dominate a fighter like me on three occasions. Max Holloway. Who actually does that against a tough guy? And I did it every time by decision. It's not a common defense. Some people said things and didn't respect me. And I hope that, now, they have changed their minds. They needed to see me do this against Max”, said Volkanovski, in a post-event interview.
