In the co-headliner, Australia’s Volkanovski utilized his speed and a reliable stinging hit to score a persuading triumph over Hawaiian Max Holloway, keeping his featherweight title prior to recommending a move up to lightweight.
“I need to be occupied, I don’t figure this division itself can keep me occupied – I need to climb to lightweight, go for twofold champion (add the lightweight belt) and keep two divisions occupied,” he said in his post-battle interview in the octagon.
Prior at night, Donald “Cattle rustler” Cerrone called time on his vocation subsequent to losing to Jim Miller through second-round accommodation in his 55th expert battle.

Cerrone’s last success in the UFC came in May 2019 against Al Iaquinta and he has lost six of his seven battles from that point forward, with the other session managed a no-challenge.
