One of the most well-rounded fighters in the sport, Volkanovski will use his boxing and grappling to keep Lopes guessing and put him on the back foot. 

The fight lived up to expectations, with both men staying composed on their feet despite a near-fight-changing sequence from Lopes (26-7 MMA) by dropping Volkanovski (27-4 MMA) in the final seconds of Round 2.
