Islam Makhachev KOs Alexander Volkanovski, Khamzat Chimaev gets it, all things UFC 294 | Cageside

Eric and John break down the wild card that was UFC 294. Islam Makhachev stakes his claim on why he should be the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Khamzat Chimaev wins via majority decision, but how we would have liked to see this fight a five-rounder. Should Johnny Walker have won by disqualification instead of having an illegal knee end in a no contest? Looking forward to the “Battle of the Baddest” when Francis Ngannou tries his hand at boxing vs. the great Tyson Fury.
