[00:00:00]And now our tale of the tape for this heavyweight fight.

[00:00:05]All right, now for the official introductions, we go to the veteran voice of the octagon, Bruce Buffer.

[00:00:12]>> Ladies and gentlemen, this fight is three rounds in the UFC heavyweight division.

[00:00:17]Introducing first, fighting out of the blue corner, presenting the former UFC featherweight champion of the world, MAX BLESSED HOLLOWAY.

[00:00:32]AND NOW HIS OPPONENT, FIGHTING OUT OF THE RED CORNER, ALEXANDER "THE GREAT" VOLKANOVSKI.

[00:00:45]>> [cheering] >> READY?

[00:00:47]READY?

[00:00:48]Come on.

[00:00:48]>> Yes, it shall be done again as round one gets underway, Max Holloway versus Alexander Volkanovski. Got to be challenging when you have this much familiarity and experience against an opponent.

[00:00:59]>> Yeah, I mean, this is one of the best fights that they could put together.

[00:01:01]Both of these guys are the best featherweights in the world.

[00:01:04]But Max Holloway needs to get back to kicking. He needs to use huge kicks because he's the longer, bigger fighter.

[00:01:10]But Alexander Volkanovski, he needs to set [cheering] the tone very early and try to mix in some fake takedowns.

[00:01:17]>> And boxing out of the blue, Max Holloway lands the right hand.

[00:01:20]>> It's what we've come to expect from Max Holloway. Knowing exactly when to use his weapons, and the right hand is one of his best weapons.

[00:01:29]Holloway does a lot of his work with his hands.

[00:01:32]But if you're just boxing Max Holloway, you are behind.

[00:01:35]He's that good with his activity, his volume.

[00:01:38]>> [cheering] >> All right, so what do you think here, champ? Just another takedown attempt, or what?

[00:01:44]>> Yeah, he's going to shoot, and he's going to score. That's what's about to happen because it's all we've seen up to this point.

[00:01:50]>> Holloway's eye is closing up.

[00:01:54]>> [cheering] >> Volkanovski out of your orthodox stance, but will go southpaw from time to time.

[00:01:59]>> He does switch stances, John. You know that he can fight anywhere. And Alexander Volkanovski has this high level of an IQ as anyone we've seen in the octagon.

[00:02:09]>> [screaming] [screaming] >> All right, it's real as round one action, and he's been a little bit inefficient with his >> Yeah, he's swinging, but he's not having much success. He's slowed down a little bit to pace himself to make sure that he can fight the whole fight.

[00:02:30]>> Volkanovski's bleeding from the mouth, Daniel. Looks as though there's a cut on his lip.

[00:02:35]Thankfully, he's a lot tougher than I am.

[00:02:42]Under 2 minutes now going round one.

[00:02:45]Onyx had a hip-hop song "Stick and Move". That was the move and stick.

[00:02:49]>> Yeah, he does a great job of moving, keeping [cheering] his head off the center line. And when he does get into a firefight, he just slips, moves, and returns. These guys are really, really high-level.

[00:02:59]>> [cheering] [cheering] >> Well, that's what it is right there. He was flowing, and then you need A STRIKE LIKE THAT to get him off his game.

[00:03:21]>> That's exactly why we love MMA. Anything can happen at any moment, and you just saw it on full display there.

[00:03:32]New shots landing on both sides.

[00:03:34]>> [cheering] >> This is insane.

[00:03:40]Now what shoots?

[00:03:43]>> [cheering] >> Holloway's trying to lock up on submission now.

[00:03:49]Oh, and there's the horn at the end of the round. How about this fight, folks?

[00:03:53]You see he was nearly caught in a submission there right at the end of the round. Saved [cheering] by the bell. So, back to the stool. Mentally probably not in a great place here. We'll see if he can recover and get himself back into this fight.

[00:04:05]>> [cheering] >> All right, so there's the horn. He got knocked down by a punch in that round, but he is able to survive. We'll see if they can make some adjustments.

[00:04:13]>> He's as tough as they come. He took that shot and he kept plotting forward. He got off of his butt. He got himself off of the canvas and tried to get right back to work. But, he cannot take many more of these. You don't want to be the guy that's testing how tough that your chin is.

[00:04:31]>> [cheering] >> All right, here we go. Round two. It is Alexander Volkanovski versus Max Holloway. Can you believe it? This next round is underway. In the previous round both fighters got rocked. Crowd going bananas. Big opportunity for both fighters.

[00:04:48]>> These are the types of fight that makes it so fun to sit right next to the octagon for all the action.

[00:04:59]>> There's a nice takedown attempt there and land by the UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski.

[00:05:04]>> Here's a submission attempt. It's starting to get tough.

[00:05:07]>> Oh, he escapes. Stayed patient and aware and he gets out of it.

[00:05:10]>> Oh, beautiful move to get out of that submission. Unbelievable.

[00:05:13]>> [cheering] >> Well, this fight's been pretty crazy thus far. Both guys throwing a lot of damage and neither seems to bother by it, but clearly both parties are hurt.

[00:05:24]>> Another submission attempt here and this is a good one.

[00:05:27]You can't try to grapple this. You got to get out of there.

[00:05:31]>> Pretty good head movement. He's avoiding a lot of these ground strikes.

[00:05:36]>> [cheering] >> This is where he wants to be.

[00:05:44]>> Holloway gets back up again.

[00:05:46]>> [cheering] >> A lot of volume, a lot of combinations.

[00:05:49]The corner keeps calling for it and they're receiving it.

[00:05:52]>> When a fighter's offense is on >> Great shot there, DC. He is a big, [cheering] massive blow.

[00:06:00]That really has put him on roller skates.

[00:06:04]>> [cheering] >> Oh, he's on wobbly legs now.

[00:06:10]He's hurt, kicked. [cheering] Back to his feet.

[00:06:16]He is He hurt him again, bro.

[00:06:22]Well, they're they're going at it here under 3 to go, round two.

[00:06:25]>> [cheering] >> Oh!

[00:06:30]>> [cheering] [cheering] >> Oh, he landed a nice shot there and got to wonder aloud if his opponent even trained. He's gassed.

[00:06:45]>> He's exhausted. He went too hard early and now he's paying for it. Now it's time for him >> Holloway gets up now, nice work to get out of there. Not every day you see him All right, now we got some blood, ladies and gentlemen. It looks as though that shot has cut him open. Now we're in a fight. Let's go.

[00:07:05]>> Now we're in a fight, John. I mean, he got the blood flowing. The guy is [cheering] Oh, he's hurt, hurt.

[00:07:15]He's hurt, gassed.

[00:07:16]>> [screaming] [cheering] >> THAT'LL DO IT, BUSINESS. WHAT A FIGHT BY ALEXANDER VOLKANOVSKI.

[00:07:24]My [cheering] goodness.

[00:07:29]>> [cheering] [cheering] >> Let's get to Bruce Buffer. He has your official decision.

[00:08:06]>> Ladies and gentlemen, referee Marc Goddard has called a stop to this contest at 4 minutes, 20 seconds of round number two. Declaring the winner by knockout, Alexander "The Great" >> [cheering] >> VOLKANOVSKI.

[00:08:23]>> [cheering] >> ALL RIGHT, SO the Volk man does it again. Alexander Volkanovski tonight by knockout. He said the first time he fought Max Holloway, he essentially beat him with competitive spirit and cardio.

[00:08:33]Now this dude is the total package.

[00:08:35]>> He's a total package. I mean, I don't know many fighters that are better or can compete with Alexander Volkanovski.

[00:08:43]He seems to be spreading himself from the pack more and more. Tonight he showed in that knockout.
