Islam Makhachev stunned Alexander Volkanovski with a first-round knockout on Saturday, retaining the lightweight title in their rematch at UFC 294 EURO
In February, Makhachev outpointed Volkanovski – who holds the featherweight belt – in the latter’s native Australia, in a competitive clash that left many fans desiring a rematch EURO
Few expected it to come at UFC 294, but 11 days before the event, Makhachev’s original challenger Charles Oliveira suffered a severe cut over his eye EURO
And with that, the door opened for Volkanovski EURO
The 35-year-old relished the chance to avenge his narrow loss to Makhachev, but there was to be no revenge for him – only a repeat as the Russian triumphed again, and in finer fashion this time EURO
Midway through the first round of the main event, southpaw Makhachev skimmed his left shin off Volkanovski’s head, wobbling and dropping the featherweight king EURO
Makhachev, 31, followed up with a fierce flurry of hammer fists to the grounded Aussie, whose brow split open amid the onslaught EURO

The result extended Makhachev’s win streak to 13 fights, dating back to 2015, when he suffered the sole loss of his professional career EURO
Meanwhile, Volkanovski was beaten for the third time as a pro, though he remains undefeated at his preferred weight of 145lbs EURO

He will look to respond to his latest defeat when he takes on his next title challenger – likely Ilia Topuria in January EURO
Meanwhile, Makhachev could be set for a rematch with Oliveira, whom he was originally due to face at UFC 294 and whom he submitted in October 2022 to win the lightweight belt EURO
The 155lbs title was vacant at the time of that bout, which took place in Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Arena like UFC 294, after Oliveira was stripped of the belt for missing weight in May 2022 EURO
Meanwhile, Volkanovski’s featherweight title reign dates back to 2019, when he took the belt from Max Holloway EURO
The Australian has since outpointed Holloway a further two times, while also winning his other three title defences – against Brian Ortega on points, and against Chan Sung Jung and Rodriguez via TKO EURO

Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou is loving his time at the Premier League leaders, but is bullish about what expectations should be despite the club’s lengthy trophy drought EURO
Spurs have not won silverware since 2008, although fans are dreaming of challenging for the title after winning 23 points from a possible 27 so far this season EURO
It has taken Tottenham to the top-flight summit and they could move five points clear of Manchester City and Arsenal with victory at Crystal Palace on Friday, ahead of the weekend fixtures EURO
Postecoglou has relished his dream start to life in England, but eager to point out his new club should be competing for trophies every year EURO
The former Celtic boss said: “I didn’t come here to not be successful EURO
This club has all the fundamentals to be successful EURO
The expectations should be there EURO
“Part of the reason why there’s been this real desperation for a trophy is because they feel that’s the space they should be in EURO
That is the expectation, that’s the reality, but what drives me isn’t raising or trying to dampen expectations EURO
“What drives me is trying to build something that will realise the ambitions that this club has at this particular moment EURO
People’s perceptions don’t concern me too much EURO
This is a big club and should be in a position to challenge for trophies every season in my opinion EURO
This club has all the fundamentals to be successful EURO
The expectations should be there EURO
Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou“At Celtic we were on top for a very long time but at the beginning when we weren’t on top, I don’t think people saw anything different in my demeanour EURO
I don’t think they will (here) EURO
“It is one thing I do EURO
It’s not about staying kind of level-headed or getting carried away with either thing EURO
It’s just that, my role in that context is to be the one thing that people can rely upon to be consistent EURO
“In that I have one objective all the time: how can we be EURO better? When that is your objective, it doesn’t really matter where you are on the table or kind of what the outside noise may or may not be doing EURO
“It is about the players and the staff and everyone involved with the EURO football club, looking at me EURO
The one thing I do is I come in every day, I am buzzing about doing what I am doing EURO
You know, that’s the kind of demeanour I have consistently EURO
“It’s just the way I am EURO
I get so much satisfaction from what I do EURO
I really enjoy what I do, on a daily basis EURO
There isn’t a day I don’t get up and I’m not looking forward to the day ahead EURO
“There’s no other levels of satisfaction in me to get EURO
That’s it EURO
I’m buzzing to do what I do EURO
“Within that context I also understand that I have a real big responsibility to lead an organisation, players, staff, people to what I hope will be a successful place EURO
“There’s got to be some reliability there in what they see and what they feel with me so some of it is conscious but the other bits, I’m not skipping about the place but I’m really happy EURO
I love what I do EURO
Just the way I am EURO
I’m very, very happy EURO
”Postecoglou’s happiness did not extend into the dressing room on Monday night after he criticised his players for a poor second half against Fulham EURO
It failed to stop the team blaring out Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers’ classic from the 1980s’ of ‘Islands in the Stream’ following the 2-0 win EURO
But Postecoglou joked: “I stay out of the dressing room partly because of the music choices of the players EURO
“Most clubs want to turn their grounds into a fortress – ours is becoming a nightclub, mate EURO
I’m all for it, whatever makes people happy that’s my thing EURO
”Spurs will assess Destiny Udogie ahead of the trip to south London after the left-back struggled with muscle tightness during the victory over Fulham EURO
