The rematch between Max Holloway and Alexander Volkanovski is an ideal fight for the co-main event for the Fight Island card. MikeyJ_MMA explains why this bout at UFC251 is likely going to come down to which fighter makes the best adjustments.
Holloway lands 6.66 significant strikes per minute, which ranks ninth all-time in UFC history. Volkanovski’s not too far behind Holloway in terms of output, landing 6.15 significant strikes per minute himself and doing so at a higher percentage .
He takes less damage than Holloway, too, absorbing 3.14 significant strikes per minute compared to 4.45 for Holloway. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Volkanovski try to utilize his strength advantage and initiate more clinches in the rematch – especially if Holloway has adapted and defends the leg kicks more effectively.Volkanovski sustained a broken hand during that fight which later required surgery, although you wouldn’t know it based on his performance. This time he says he wants to up the ante.. “Now I want to finish him. A lot of people think he can’t be finished. I truly do believe I can.
