Volkanovski’s five title fight wins put him tied for second in the division with Holloway for most title fight wins. The first one? Future José Aldo Hall of Fame.
12 wins by knockout
It’s no secret that Volkanovski has the power in his hands. His last two fights against Holloway and ‘The Korean Zombie’ showed that while five of his last six wins have been by decision, these are fights that showed the 34-year-old’s evolution as a fighter. The featherweight champion has won twelve of his 25 wins by knockout.
Makhachev has only been knocked out once in his career, his only loss, so it will be interesting to see how the fight develops if the fight stays on the feet.
22 consecutive wins
Volkanovski’s winning streak stands at 22. He has gone 12-0 inside the Octagon since making his UFC debut on November 26, 2016 in Melbourne, Australia. His winning streak is tied for the second-longest in the division at 12, alongside Arnold Allen. Holloway has already held a 13-game winning streak, which is the longest at 145 pounds.
Much like Makhachev, Volkanovski has only suffered one defeat in his professional career, and that one came against Corey Nelson during the Australian Fighting Championship promotion in 2013. One thing is certain, the streak of Someone’s wins will end at UFC 284, but who will? it would be?
