Islam Makhachev (25-1) left no doubt against Alexander Volkanovski (26-3) in their UFC lightweight title rematch in the main event of UFC 294 this weekend after knocking him out in the first round via head kick to retain his championship belt and continue his winning streak to 13. The Dagestani champion removed any hopes that Volkanovski could defy the UFC odds on days' notice and pull off a massive upset.
