Alexander Volkanovski is still the greatest after his latest title defense as he ended Movsar Evloev’s undefeated run with a second-round stoppage in the UFC 333 main event. As usual, Volkanovski showed off tremendous takedown defense and immaculate striking as he picked Evloev apart on the feet. Finally in the second round, Volkanovski put together a combination of punches that put Evloev down and the Australian finished with a barrage of shots on the ground. The end came at 4:54 in the second round. “He’s a great figher,” Volkanovski said after his latest title defefnse. “He was undefeated for a reason but I just said I’m the right guy for that job. I knew the ref would have to stop it when he covered up like that. “I’m choosing to do this. I said if I didn’t take too much damage, we probably keep going so maybe we keep going. I feel the love and it’s paid off now. The love around the world is incredible.”After tasting defeat for the first time, Evloev was understandably upset but he paid homage to Volkanovski on a job well done. “It was a terrible fight,” Evloev said. “He’s a good one. Older, stronger, better, he’s truly a legend. I’m grateful for this opportunity to be here.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Leo Carlsson scored a goal and set up the game-winner against the team that tried to sign him away from Anaheim last summer, as the Anaheim Ducks overcame a two-goal deficit to beat the Philadelphia Flyers 5-4 on Saturday. Philadelphia signed Carlsson to a five-year, $80 million offer sheet as a restricted free agent last July, only to have the Ducks match it and retain him. He scored the Ducks' first goal at 8:38 of the second period on a pass from Cutter Gauthier, who continued to hear vitriolic chants from Philadelphia fans for forcing his way out of Philadelphia three years ago. Carlsson later assisted on a power-play goal by Beckett Sennecke in the third period, firing a pass toward the net that Sennecke tipped past Flyers goalie Joseph Woll. Carlsson leads the Ducks in scoring with 13 points (3 goals, 10 assists). A. J. Greer, Judd Caulfield, and Tristan Luneau also scored for Anaheim, and Lukas Dostal made 28 saves to snap the Ducks’ five-game losing streak. Matvei Michkov extended his point streak to five games when he scored the first of two goals for the Flyers on the same power-play opportunity.
