Bryce Mitchell believes that he’s the man to defeat and dethrone the featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski
One of the most anticipated PPV events of the 2022 calendar was concluded today with some spectacular fights. The co-main event featured a trilogy bout between the champion Alexander Volkanovski and the challenger Max Holloway.
In the co-main event Alexander Volkanovski abolsutley bulldozered, dismantled and razed Holloways’ challenge to the ground. The champion looked like a much improved, and refined fighter from the get go. His accuracy, power, defense, and precision stifled the Hawaiian. A bruised, battered, and bloodied Holloway showed the heart and grit of a warrior, and lasted 25 minutes yet again.
In the second round Volkanovski dug open a big cut right above the left eye of Holloway with an overhand straight. The cut impaired Max’s vision, but he struggled to get his flow and rhythm owing to the massive deep cut. The remaining three rounds played out in similar fashion as the Aussie kept handing out big punishment’s to Max, damaging the right side of his face as well.
In the end he scored a unanimous 50-45 victory. He immediately grabbed the mic to issue a challenge to the lightweight division and Charles Oliveira.
Bryce Mitchell reacted to the fight by saying that featherweights are afraid of Volkanovski and are keeping their mouth shut. He said that the fans deserve a competitive fight, and called for his shot. He wrote on Twitter, ‘these dudes aint callin out volk cause they think theyll lose. i kno ill win!! thats y i keep sayin the same shit. im tired of these non competitive fites. waste of fans time n money. they wanna real fite like me. worth every penny’
