Islam Makhachev walked into one of the most intense atmospheres in UFC history Saturday as champion. When he left, the belt came with him. In front of a rowdy RAC Arena full of passionate fans who cheered on his opponent Alexander Volkanovski (25-2 MMA, 12-1 UFC), the promotion’s lightweight champion Makhachev (24-1 MMA, 13-1 UFC) retained his title via unanimous decision (48-47, 48-47, 49-46)
