Alexander Volkanovski managed to escape a few tight submissions to batter Brian Ortega in an all-out war at UFC 266. UFC featherweight champion Volkanovski (23-1 MMA, 10-0 UFC) retained his title against Ortega (15-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) in the main event last Saturday, battling through a third-round guillotine choke which had him gargling. But Volkanovski put on a show by taking it right to the always tough and durable Ortega, earning the “Fight of the Night” honors. In the co-main event, UFC flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko (22-3 MMA, 11-2 UFC) put on yet another dominant performance when she stopped Lauren Murphy in the fourth round to retain her title. You can watch it all unfold in super slow-motion in the UFC 266 “Fight Motion” video highlights above. Also featured are highlights of Robbie Lawler ’s third-round stoppage of the returning Nick Diaz , Merab Dvalishvili ’s come-from-behind TKO of Marlon Moraes, Chris Daukaus ’ “Performance of the Night” knockout of Shamil Abdurakhimov , Matthew Semelsberger ’s 15-second knockout of Martin Sano , and much more.
