Alexander Volkanovski successfully defended his Featherweight crown last night (Sat., April 9, 2022) at UFC 273 live on ESPN+ PPV from inside Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida. In addition to the Featherweight headliner, UFC 273 produced several highlight-reel finishes and memorable Octagon brawls.
Check them out below and let us know which performance stood out the most:
- Aleksei Oleinik remained as crafty as ever, tricking Jared Vanderaa into grappling with him and quickly wrangling up a neck crank after a difficult start (watch here).
- Canadian talent Mike Malott made a successful debut by leveling Mickey Gall with a tremendous left hook (watch here).
- Khamzat Chimaev and Gilbert Burns went toe-to-toe and traded massive shots for the full 15 minutes in what was clearly the best fight of the night ... or year (watch here).
- In the main event, Alexander Volkanovski proved himself a class above Chan Sung Jung, dominating the South Korean striker en route to a fourth-round knockout win (watch here).
