[autotag]Alexander Volkanovski[/autotag] showed he’s still top of the heap in the featherweight division on Saturday when he defended the strap against [autotag]Yair Rodriguez[/autotag] in the UFC 290 headliner.
After suffering his first octagon loss to Islam Makhachev in a lightweight title bout in February, Volkanovski (26-2 MMA, 13-1 UFC) returned to his proper weight and turned back interim titleholder Rodriguez (15-4 MMA, 10-3 UFC) by fourth-round TKO in the International Fight Week main event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
