Who Did Alexander Volkanovski Lose To?

Alexander ‘The Great’ Volkanovski suffered his first UFC defeat earlier this year, having stepped up a weight class in order to fight Islam Makhachev, who happens to be this weekend’s opponent.

UFC 294’s main event billing will see a rematch of that fascinating clash from all the way back in February. Volkanovski has the potential to pull off one of the greatest late notice wins having replaced Charles Oliveira, who Makhachev was originally scheduled to fight in another rematch.

The latter will still be defending his own lightweight title, but Volkanovski will be seeking revenge after the Fight of the Night defeat at UFC 284, where Makhachev won by unanimous decision.

Despite the highly-anticipated Oliveira vs Makhachev bout being put on the back-burner for the time being, this has the potential to be a historic night for the UFC.

Not only is it the first time that champions in different divisions have contested the same title twice, but Volkanovski can also become the fourth fighter to be champion in two divisions at the same time.
