""I didn't realize my ass was actually on his face," Volkanovski said on YouTube. "I thought that I was sitting on his chest. That's why I was trying to swing back these punches, thinking his head's there. And I'm like, 'Why can't I hit his head?' That was because I was literally sitting on his face. So I apologize for all that, Lopes.""

Alexander Volkanovski retained the featherweight title with a unanimous decision over Diego Lopes at UFC 325 in Sydney, using superior technique to stifle Lopes' offense. The fight ended with a bizarre north-south position against the fence in the final seconds, during which Volkanovski was unintentionally sitting on Lopes' face while continuing to swing. Volkanovski later apologized, explaining he thought he was on Lopes' chest and could not find his head. Volkanovski previously won the vacant featherweight title in their first encounter, and Lopes earned the rematch after a stoppage win over Jean Silva.
