Alexander Volkanovski added another championship triumph to his resume at UFC 333, stopping Movsar Evloev in the main event on Saturday at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. The second-round knockout marked Volkanovski's second successful title defense of his current reign and his seventh defense overall.
Evloev stepped into his first UFC championship opportunity holding an undefeated 10-0 record inside the Octagon. However, the veteran champion thwarted Evloev's attempts to take the fight to the ground, dominating the action on the feet before finishing the challenger with strikes in Round 2.
The dominant performance drew widespread acclaim from across the combat sports community. Longtime analyst and former fighter Kenny Florian reacted to the victory on social media, noting, "There are levels to this game and the old lion is still hungry."
