Holloway, who was not satisfied with earlier meets at UFC 245 and UFC 251 in 2019 and 2020, respectively, came forth to settle the business. Volkanovski did not want the same controversial decisions and so he came to dominate with fresh instinct. His counter-hitting was accurate, and his defense played a key role in stopping the challenger.
