The UFC’s 11th annual International Fight Week closed on a memorable high Saturday with UFC 290 , which took place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. After a explosive and entertaining lead up to the night’s title fights, one belt stayed put while another changed hands. In the main event, Alexander Volkanovski (26-2 MMA, 13-1 UFC) dismantled Yair Rodriguez (15-4 MMA, 10-3 UFC) en route to a third-round TKO for his fifth featherweight title defense. The co-headliner saw Alexandre Pantoja (26-5 MMA, 10-3 UFC) capture the flyweight strap with a split decision win over Brandon Moreno (21-7-2 MMA, 9-3-2 UFC) in a Fight of the Year contender.
