They\u2019re not always Big with a capital \u2018B\u2019, but it\u2019s sold that way all the same.<\/p>\n<p>Alexander Volkanovski vs Islam Makhachev Sunday morning in Perth, Australia was not just a big fight. And whether you bought into the idea that the MMA leader dropped the ball in the promotion of the clash of champions \u2014 featherweight king Volkanovski challenging the lightweight newly-crowned titleholder \u2014 no amount of hype or lack thereof changes that fact.<\/p>\n<p>And every moment of Makhachev\u2019s victory via unanimous decision, 48-47, 48-47, 49-46, felt just as B-I-G as the pound-for-pound No. 1 vs. No. UFC 284 was set to conclude with the 2 contest. From the moment the crowd Down Under broke out into song along with Volkanovski\u2019s walkout to \u2014 what else \u2014 \u201cDown Under\u201d Men at Work: It was relentless and never stopped.<\/p>\n<p>None would mistake Makhachev-Volkanovski for an all-action assault like the deified 2005 brawl between Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar. The clash of titans felt epic the same way a Hollywood thriller. It was full of tension, anticipation, and violent moments throughout the five-minute rounds.<\/p>\n<p>Would Volkanovski\u2019s advanced striking foil the favored Makhachev and his dogged grappling? Could Makhachev show some depth to his stand up arsenal, something that was not evident during his rise to the top in the 155-pound division last Oct? These were key questions that shaped early drama.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/230212ufc2.jpg\"><button

suspicion and unexpected results. Volkanovski did not have the usual high feet, so he was able to pick his spots better against a man who would rather ride the 145-pound champion to the ground.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n\t<\/aside>\n<p>It was only two minutes before the stance-switching Volkanovski got the defending champion squarely on his chin with an left, causing a frenzy among the other Aussies. But Makhachev took it well, didn\u2019t back down, and sent Volkanovski briefly to a knee only a minute later. There was more to the Dagestan, Russia native\u2019s striking that had previously met the eye.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Makhachev\u2019s pursuit of his challenger\u2019s back always seemed to pay off. He secured takedowns in each of the first four rounds, claiming rounds one, two and four from all the judges thanks in part to the standout grappling that\u2019s been his bread and butter in much the same way as mentor, friend, \u201cbrother\u201d Khabib Nurmagomedov, a former lightweight champion.<\/p>\n<p>Volkanovski remained strong and determined, never allowing himself to be put in the same fight-finishing danger Makhachev placed on Charles Oliveira. Volkanovski&#8217;s submission against Brian Ortega was a year ago. In the fourth frame, Makhachev launched punches at Makhachev. Although it was not the right type of fight to end, the Aussie was determined.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a
