In his third fight with Max Holloway, Alexander Volkanovski delivered the most definitive statement of his dominance at 145 pounds, pitching a shutout with unanimous scores of 50-45 at UFC 276.
Volkanovski vs. Holloway 2 left the public split on the best featherweight in the world. There was no doubt after Saturday’s pay-per-view event.
Talk of a move to lightweight was in the air after Volkanovski’s fourth title defense. Here’s what fighters had to say about the UFC 276 co-main event between Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway on Saturday in Las Vegas.
Domination by Volkanovski. 3 in a row against Holloway is insane.

Max is one of my favs, but volk looked untouchable tonight. Wouldn’t be mad seeing him and Charles at 55

Volk proving he’s the best featherweight on the planet tonight. Shuts out Holloway 5-0 showing he’s in a class by himself in one of the toughest divisions in the sport. Not all performances/wins in mma are beautiful but this is one of them and did it at the highest level.

The first round is a cheat sheet. Max Holloway didn’t make the adjustments he needed to. Volkanovski continues to improve #UFC276 pic.twitter.com/mGjTzIYltS
