UFC 284: Makhachev vs Volkanovski
Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski squared off in the main event of UFC 284 live on pay-per-view from RAC Arena in Perth, Australia on Sunday, February 12. The contest featured reigning lightweight champion making the first defense of his belt against current featherweight titleholder.
The scheduled for five rounds championship bout went the full distance and produced fireworks. In the end, two judges scored the fight 48-47 and one judge had it 49-46, all in favor of defending champion.
With the victory, by unanimous decision Islam Makhachev retained his belt, improved to 24-1 and secured his 12th win in a row. The 31-year-old claimed the vacant title by submission in the second round against Charles Oliveira last October 2022 in Abu Dhabi.
