The UFC handed out four post-fight bonuses after Saturday's card in Australia, including one to a surging home city fan favorite.
But in the UFC 284 main event, Makhachev outworked Volkanovski in front of Volkanovski’s home fans in Australia and took a unanimous decision to retain the 145-pound title. Islam Makhachev (24-1 MMA, 13-1 UFC) got the biggest test of his career in the form of Alexander Volkanovski (25-2 MMA, 12-1 UFC), but when things settled after 25 minutes, Makhachev laid claim to the title of world’s best pound-for-pound fighter. Jack Della Maddalena (14-2 MMA, 4-0 UFC) delivered the biggest crowd bump of the night up until that point when he took out Randy Brown (16-5 MMA, 10-5 UFC) with a first-round submission in front of his home fans in Perth. He went to his back from it, but quickly threw up a triangle choke and was able to get Emmett to tap. But when Brown fell to the canvas, Maddalena wasted no time and got a rear-naked choke for yet another first-round finish. Maddalena put it on Brown in a hurry, and it looked like he might be able to put him away with punches after a flurry along the fence.
