Athletistic/ Boxing. On Saturday, October 21, the UFC 294 tournament took place in Abu Dhabi (UAE). Its main event was the fight between the Russian Islam Makhachev and the Australian Alex Volkanovski. Makhachev knocked out his opponent in the first round and defended his championship title. The acting president of the Russian Union of MMA, Andrey Terentyev, spoke about this.
– We also expected the fight to end by judges’ decision. Makhachev hit him precisely on the slope. It was wonderful ! Everyone saw, everyone is happy, victory in the first round. But Volkanovski is also a very tough and strong fighter. Makhachev was far from dominant, even at the net. It’s a shame it ended so quickly haha. We are happy that ours won,” SE quoted Terentyev as saying.
