Alexander Volkanovski just keeps finding ways to add to his collection.
At 38 years old, the UFC bantamweight contender delivered another memorable moment Saturday at UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi, knocking out previously undefeated contender Movsar Evloev in the second round to retain his 145-pound title. Evloev entered the night with a 20-0 record and straight UFC victories, but even one of the division’s most powerful fighters couldn’t solve Volkanovski’s enigma.

The win added another illustrious chapter to an already historic career, making Volkanovski the most decorated champion in UFC history. Now the owner of nine UFC title victories, Volkanovski has officially surpassed UFC Hall of Famer and legend Jose Aldo for the most championship wins in the division’s all-time ranks. To make matters worse, he shakes up fighters who are still undefeated at an age when most fighters are long past their prime.
And without the skill, the MMA world couldn’t believe what it had just witnessed.
Fighters across the sport have flooded social media with praise for Volkanovski, marveling at his ability to turn back the clock and finish a contender who has never lost. Many have declared him the greatest moment in UFC history, while others have confirmed his latest triumph as one of the greatest fighters of all time, regardless of weight class.
