Alexander Volkanovski believes he was the rightful winner against Max Holloway on Saturday in the UFC 251 co-main event. Volkanovski (22-1 MMA, 9-0 UFC) retained his featherweight title by the skin of his teeth in the pay-per-view co-headliner at Flash Forum in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. He edged Holloway (21-6 MMA, 17-6 UFC) by split decision , making it 2-0 over “Blessed” after winning another competitive decision at UFC 245 in December to take the belt. There was no shortage of backlash over the result, and even UFC president Dana White said it was “bad judging.” Volkanovski doesn’t see much controversy, though, and said he won the third, fourth and fifth rounds.
