Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2020-07-12, pretty good fight between Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway 2: it gets three stars.
The Ufc Fw champion Alexander Volkanovski entered this fight with a mma record of 21-1-0 (67% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.1 featherweight in the world. He suffered his only loss when he faced Corey Nelson in 2013, since then he has collected 18 consecutive victories beating Chad Mendes (Chad Mendes vs Alexander Volkanovski), Jose Aldo (Jose Aldo vs Alexander Volkanovski) and Max Holloway in his last three (Max Holloway vs Alexander Volkanovski).
His opponent, the former Ufc Fw champ Max Holloway, has an official record of 21-5-0 (57% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.2 in the same weight class but he lost two out of his last three bouts, against Dustin Poirier (bout in which he moved up in weight class, Max Holloway vs Dustin Poirier 2) and with Volkanovski in their first and last fight; between these two bouts he beat Frankie Edgar (Max Holloway vs Frankie Edgar). Volkanovski vs Holloway 2 is valid for the Ufc featherweight title (Volkanovski’s first defense) and it is on the undercard of Kamaru Usman vs Jorge Masvidal – UFC 251; they also faced each other a third time on July 3, 2022 (Alexander Volkanovski vs Max Holloway 3).
