Alexander Volkanovski Falls Just Short In Bid For Lightweight Title
2 years agoThough he was impressive in 25 minutes of battle with the lightweight champion, Alexander Volkanovski took a decision loss in his bid to capture gold from Islam Makhachev on Saturday. In 25 minutes of action, Volkanovski controlled the striking department statistically by landing 70 significant strikes (164 total strikes) compared to that of Makhachev's 57 significant strikes. Though Volkanovski took the loss, he still looks as dominant as ever and should have no problems continuing to dominate at the featherweight level.
