ISLAM MAKHACHEV became the pound-for-pound king of the UFC jungle with a thrilling victory over Alexander Volkanovski.
The Russian wrecking machine saw off the featherweight champion’s challenge for his lightweight throne in front of a hostile crowd in Perth, Australia in the main event of UFC 284 early this morning.
Makhachev retained his title with a unanimous decision victory over the Aussie, with the judges scoring the fight 48-47, 48-47, 49-46 in his favour.
The Dagestani destroyer’s victory of Volkanovski on enemy territory registered his first defence of the lightweight title he claimed last October and made him the undisputed best MMA fighter on the planet.
