Relive some of the best moments to grace the Octagon in 2023 on Part 1 of the UFC Year In Review, featuring some of the sport’s …
who is fighting unbelievably right now he sees no way first it’s by B is KN out to [Applause] see a super fight for the ages the number one versus number two pound-for-pound fighters in the world this is one of those scoring eventss that you will likely remember acutely where you were exactly when it went down deafening inside the RAC Arena as our Mega fight gets underway Alexander vovi is in the green with gold Islam makash in the black and gold here we go pretty good entry there by volkanovski oh big stick with a left hand by volovski we’re going to start seeing some of those shots soon I have a feeling well to imagine that Islam Mev has experienced a fight atmosphere like thisi don’t hit the floor with one knee they both sat each other down now nice knee from Mev now this is it this is the real fight here that’s not where you want to be if you’re volcanos this is the position where mahv can stall out the whole round if he wants to stay here and just grind the clock out nice wh look at Bowski back to the field lands a huge th this was the question if he gets taken down can he get back up the answer is yes he can look like MV landed a nice knee to the body a moment ago under three minutes now in round two and now it’s volovski forcing to take down and he’s really showing just how strong he is he really is I mean he’s able to twist that position right up and turn it into a 50/50 position let’s see if he gets his arms out of there yep and gets to space well he’s fights he fir with fire you’re going to be offensive it is that okay To Can Play That Game my friend volovski getting the better of these exchanges big thing I’ve noticed is you haven’t seen any Jabs land for volkanovski and that’s his oh counter left hand over the top there’s the power that Isam spoke about oh and now le for makash banovski momentarily Retreats remember when is done became the lightweight Chum it was because he knocked down Charles OA not because he took him down oh nice jab for makash and now a left hand nice kind of a stum from this L but it doesn’t matter hit the ground all the same so overhand left to a trip for vosi on that one and he’s really picking up the pace now wow [Music] almost great take down defense by to stay upright look around oh that’s how you time of take down amazing work and not against defense and I can’t stress enough what a an advantage that is for Islam you see look look B straight away going for it and look at the way he took the back I mean come on you have to appreciate that that was like a ninja like a python wrapping itself coiling around its victim he can’t allow himself to get frustrated or to let this thunderous crowd influence his movements because one little mistake and he loses his fight look at that amazing even if this fight doesn’t get finished I think we’re going to see it again for some reason this is definitely going to happen again look at this well if there is a fighter with a better cardiovascular base in the game than Alexander banovski I’m not sure I’ve seen him but bu could very well be down three to one here as we hit this Fifth and Final Round yes there’s a very good chance of that however they are close rounds f is in the fight to your point the cardio is ridiculous vinoski heading him off on the pressure typical nice hand mive right and he HS sits him down the fight for banov the biggest moment of the fight and this is one of his best clean positions he loves the ground and pound here watch for arm bars for mahv the entire stadium is on their feet Mev with guard closed eyeing the clock wow last of 10 from Bowski trying to steal the victory trying to seal the deal become a two-weight Division champion W awesome ending to a fight that’s how you end a fight what 25 minutes between Islam M and Alexander Bowski a standing ovation from the capacity clowd in BR Western Australia now Islam makash came in with the Target on his back had to di deep incredible incredible fight by both men Jud to
