Billy Ward breaks down Saturday's matchup between Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway at UFC 276 (T-Mobile Arena).

I see some appeal to the over 3.5, 4.5 or Volkanovski by decision plays, as well. He took rounds 1 and 2 by a fairly wide margin, with Volkanovski eking out the last three. Volkanovski was officially credited as 3/9 on takedowns in their last fight, with all of the attempts coming in Round 3 or later. The odds feel a bit off here, with a razor-thin split decision for Volkanovski last time. Volkanovski very clearly lost the first two rounds last time, so mixing in some grappling was a wise adjustment. His leg kicks, grappling and cardio are all ideal to take over fights late. While he’s the older fighter, he turned pro four years after Holloway and has slightly fewer fights. When paired with Volkanovski’s moneyline at DraftKings, the odds are -125. I’m still finding it hard to pull the trigger on former champ Holloway, though. That’s where featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski will once again meet former titleholder Max Holloway. However, after Holloway rebounded with wins over Calvin Kattar and Yair Rodriguez to reclaim top-contender status, he has earned a third crack at Volkanovski’s belt. 12/4/91
