UFC-mästaren Alexander Volkanovski behöll sitt fjäderviktsbälte inatt när han besegrade utmanaren Brian Ortega via enhälligt domslut. Båda herrarna stod dock för imponerande insatser i en match som många nu menar är kandidat till årets match. Conor McGregor (22-6) valde inför matchen att håna Volkanovski för hans längd men valde sedan att radera sitt tweet. Istället valde han att stämma in med hyllningarna för matchens underhållningsvärde.
