The UFC kicked off its 'Fight Island' festivities with a stellar UFC 251 card on Sunday that included a couple of dazzling title fights, along with a main event that was a fairly straightforward affair.

The bout generating the most post-event reaction was Alex Volkanovski's razor-close split-decision featherweight title defence against Max Holloway. Was the Hawaiian unfairly denied victory?

Spoiler alert: the short answer is 'no'.

We review all that action and have a chat to NZ's lightweight star Dan Hooker about his thoughts on the contest, as well as Dana White's suggestion that the UFC could return to Aotearoa shores to take advantage of our lack of crowd restrictions.
