The super fight league legacy lives on
Islam Makhachev vs Alexander Volkanovski 1
Islam Makhachev (24-1) and Alexander Volkanovski (26-2) are going to run it back. Circumstances be damned, they are the #1 and #2 fighters in the sport right now and the fact we’re getting a part 2 to their amazing first fight should be celebrated.
The two are set to square off again at UFC 294 this Saturday (Oct 21).

Some fans need to stop looking at sparring footage. Sparring isn’t real fighting. It’s practice. You’re working on specific skills and trying to get specific looks. So please stop watching UFC fighters sparring with boxers and thinking “oh, this guy could be a champion in boxing if I’m he took in serious.”
