Makhachev, for his part, has also lost only once, back in 2015 in his second UFC fight. He held a fantastic 12-1 record and was making his very first title defense since dominating and submittingfor the lightweight crown late last year. Due in large part to his size, Makhachev was a heavy favorite in the main event, despite Volkanovski's pound-for-pound status.
It was a highly technical and razor-close affair through all five rounds. Makhachev was competitive on the feet and his takedowns made the difference in many stanzas. Still, Volkanovski resisted both submissions and heavy damage to close the fight strong. However, the lightweight ruler survived and retained his crown via unanimous decision.
