Alex Volkanovski showcased a masterful performance to outclass Max Holloway at UFC 276.

Going into the bout on a 21-fight win streak, Alex Volkanovski was looking to solidify his status as one of the greatest featherweights as he took on Max Holloway, for a third time at tonight’s UFC 276: Adesanya vs. Cannonier at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada.

Volkanovski’s bout with Holloway served as the co-main event of the night. Right from the get-go, Volkanovski proved to be too quick for Holloway. He utilized his jab greatly to execute his strategic game plan. While Holloway did have some good moments, he did not appear to be on the same level as the reigning 145 lbs king.

The pair went the full distance as Volkanovski would put an end to their iconic rivalry with a third and decisive win over Holloway. He defended his belt via a unanimous decision (50-45 x3)

Pereira, who improves to 6-1 professionally with tonight’s victory, adds Strickland to prior Octagon successes against both Andreas Michailidis, and Bruno Silva.

Engaging in a complete kickboxing matchup with Strickland over the course of the two and a half minute affair, Pereira continually measured the streaking division contender, lining him up for a patented, winging left hook — before cannoning down with a further ground strike, rendering Strickland unconscious.

Sean O'Malley, Pedro Munhoz, UFC 276

Sean O’Malley vs. Pedro Munhoz was ruled a no-contest in round two at UFC 276.

Going into the bout on a three-fight win streak, Sean O’Malley faced a major jump in competition when he took on Pedro Munhoz, his first ranked opponent at tonight’s UFC 276: Adesanya vs. Cannonier at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada.

O’Malley’s match with Munhoz opened the main card of the night. He secured a second-round finish with just two seconds left on the clock at the time of the submission. Munhoz began to chop away at O’Malley’s legs from the opening round. Although ‘Suga’ did a good job of checking many of those low kicks, Munhoz was able to land a considerable amount and appeared to be ahead on the scorecards.

In the second round, an unintentional eye poke from O’Malley would cause the referee to separate the men. Munhoz complained that he was unable to see out of the damaged eye. As a result, the contest was ruled a no-contest into the fourth minute of round two.
