A BRUTAL SLUGFEST! The UFC's most hated man Colby Covington just had his jaw broken and then got TKO'd as Kamaru Usman retains at UFC245
Alexander Volkanovski took the UFC featherweight title from Max Holloway and became the second Australian champion in the promotion’s history with a tactical unanimous-decision victory.
Usman and Covington took a personal animus into the cage, and the Nigerian-born Usman made good on his vow to derail the career of the divisive Covington, whose grating personality and eager embrace of President Donald Trump have made him a sharply polarising figure in mixed martial arts.Source:Volkanovski picked apart Holloway with leg kicks and movement for five frenetic rounds, controlling the bout with style and persistence.
Volkanovski became just the fourth featherweight champion in UFC history, joining Jose Aldo, Conor McGregor and Holloway, who had reigned since 2016. Nunes earned her 10th straight win and fifth bantamweight title defence over a half-decade of UFC dominance, but the two-division champion had to rely on her wrestling skills to dominate her 135-pound rematch with De Randamie , the former 145-pound UFC champion.
