Alexander Volkanovski has proven that he is far from finished. Making history at UFC 314, the living legend showcased why he is considered one of the greatest talents of his time. He started his second UFC featherweight title reign with a gritty decision victory over Diego Lopes, delivering a vintage performance.
At 36 years old, Volkanovski has become the first fighter weighing under 155 pounds to win a UFC belt after the age of 35. He joins the ranks of Jose Aldo as only the second featherweight to reclaim the title after losing it.
Despite doubts lingering after consecutive knockout losses to Islam Makhachev and Ilia Topuria, Volkanovski silenced his critics with this impressive win. Taking a 14-month hiatus, the longest break of his UFC career, proved to be a strategic move that paid off.
Witness how Volkanovski’s peers in the UFC reacted to his groundbreaking victory at UFC 314 below.
