Max Holloway retains featherweight title with unanimous decision over Jose Aldo
UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway retained his title with a unanimous decision over Jose Aldo in their second fight.
The fight was an exciting one, with both fighters putting on a spectacular show. However, it was Holloway who emerged as the clear winner. He displayed superior boxing skills, while defending well against Aldo’s takedowns.
Aldo also put on a great performance, but he lacked the power to take down Holloway and land meaningful strikes. This ultimately led to a close and controversial decision, which saw Holloway retain his title.
Donor Gregorio def. Eddie Alvarez to win lightweight championship

The biggest factor in Poirier’s victory may have been his wrestling skills. He was able to control Pettish on the ground and use his superior Jiu-Jitsu skills to win the bout. This is a skill that Gregorio has struggled with in past fights.

Panamas is set to make $500,000 for her win against Jedrzejczyk, which is significantly more than any of her previous earnings. Thompson will earn $236,000 for his victory over Matricidal, while Lawyer will earn $186,000 for his win over dos Banjos.

Terence Crawford, who won the welterweight championship in a unification bout against Robbie Lawyer, took home just over $30 million.
