Alexander Volkanovski Humbles Max Holloway

First upload got taken down, thanks Dana! Max Holloway vs Alexander Volkanovski will go down as one of the greatest trilogies in UFC history. This is MMA at its absolute highest level. Max Holloway turned up the trash talk in the leadup to their third fight, and it backfired immensely as Alexander Volkanovski absolutely dominated him on the way to a unanimous decision win. Be sure to like and subscribe, hit that bell! #maxholloway #ufc #alexandervolkanovski

It's crazy that Max has 5 inches on Volk yet Alex has the reach advantage. Man's a fkn octopus lol same thing happens with Bud Crawford, they both have bigger reach than height

[@jumbo9386]

@‎ٴ shorter arms hit harder all else equal and have greater acceleration/velocity. Shorter arms also provide a better leverage for body locks and getting your hips under you after a takedown. If reach was an advantage then fights wouldn't be competitive between people with massive reach discrepancies. And yet they are at even the highest level of the sport, with shorter reach fighters regularly becoming champions.

[@jumbo9386]

@‎ٴ I think its incredible that people really try to say wilder has the "strongest punch" No he doesn't bro. Wilder never flatlines guys, usually scores volume punch tkos. Mike tyson (shortest reach heavyweight in history) for example hit much harder than wilder. And there have also been dozens of other boxers that hit much harder than him as well, in fact wilder doesn't even hit all that hard at all for a heavyweight. I encourage you to watch his heavy bag drills and highlights again. Francis, as well, definitely hits hard. He's also a physical specimen and lean at 265lbs of muscle. Hard to not hit hard like that. Derrick Lewis however arguably hits harder, and guess what he's the shorter reach man. There's unfortunately no way to actually know metrical however who is hitting harder, but what do we know for sure? A good indication is the fact that elbows have more force than punches. This despite the fact that elbows aren't "long" Why? Faster acceleration and moment arm as it comes with a shorter limb.

[@jumbo9386]

@‎ٴ yes sharpness is why the result in KOs. Use your brain dude.

[@jumbo9386]

@‎ٴ Robbie Lawler, Daniel Cormier, Cody garbrandt, Jessica Andrade, khabib, Johnny hendrix, Dan Henderson, petr yan, Islam makachaev. These are all examples off the top of my head of fighters who have been champions with shorter reaches. And guess what they all share in common? Literally every single one of them are known as powerful punchers.

best boxer in the ufc? i think not

[@thedeep2202]

He never was anyways. Becos Dustin Poirier out boxed then Volk outboxed him

[@KingofRio]

People say that couse he has a lot of records for most strikes and all that, as well as his slippong of shoots with Kattar. But boxing is not about only offence, but about defence as well, and he got cut up, battared rocked, and was eating 1 to give 2-3 in many ocassion. A guy like Petr Yan or Alex they are great at offence, but also at defence as well. I would say it's might be Petr, if we look pure boxing, Volk mixes a lot of kicks into his boxing combos, and he got hit more than Petr, also knocked down a few times. So it's close but Petr takes it, than Volk, but i don't know can Holloway be in top 5 at all to be honest

[@danielmh4511]

@@KingofRio how about Aldo? him against Petr boxing wise was pretty even before Aldo gassed, also Aldo was out striking Max before he got gassed in both fights, if he had better cardio he'd unbeatable imo.

[@KingofRio]

@@danielmh4511 Nah, i Alex and Petr both beat him, therefor no way he would be best boxer. He is pretty good, but once Oetr Yan downloaded his style he beat him, with or without cardio Petr beats him. And if i remember well Alex was ina 3 round fight with him, so Aldo could go with full power. And he got KOd before, and finished by TKO. Yes he did well against Max, but Max is not the best boxer in the UFC, so just becouse he did well in 1-2-3 rounds against a guy who is not even the best in the game and than gets finished he won't be even top 5 i think. He is solid probably around top 10 top 15. But guys like Petr, Alex, Dustin Poirier, maybe even Conor, couse when he went to box with Poirier he outboxed him and Dustin got him with the leg kicks, but leg kicks are not part of boxing, so maybe Conor is even higher too. Also we can't take "what if cardio..." into the discussion, everybody borns with a type of muscle. You either explusive or have cardio for days. It's like saying "Well if Francis would have 5 round cardio he would have beaten Miocic the first time" But he has not. And in boxing there is a lot of things that matters. Your footwork, defence, offence, chin, gass tank..... Aldo is great don't get me wrong but he is not close to the best guys, he is around top 10 max

[@danielmh4511]

@@KingofRio If someone beats another fighter doesn't mean they're the better boxer, what if they beat them using grappling or kicks? From what I remember Alex won by hugging Aldo against the cage and also landing like 50 leg kicks. The boxing was close if not favoring Aldo similar to the Petr fight. Yeah he got KO'd, by Conor... Conor is huge, I'm sure you know Conor would do the same if not worse to Petr. And Conor might be the best boxer, idk, but similar to Aldo he has cardio problems. My point is that if you look at Conor vs Diaz 1 you see Conor lightyears ahead of Diaz in his technique, distance management, shot selection, etc when it comes to the boxing side of things, but after he gassed Nate took over easily even though his boxing is inferior. But in the second fight Conor won by creating a gameplan around his weak cardio. If Aldo had done something similar and was careful with his output he'd be insane to deal with, I do see him as top 3 best boxers.

Yea people think cause he’s on the young side he’s just going to keep getting better, but if every fights a war, your prime years should by all rights be shorter, mind you, I’ve seen a few exceptions to this, but max seemed a step slower by the time this trilogy ended, I also think volk just kept getting better.

[@wonderboytroy7484]

And I wonder why because he seemed faster than ever against Kattar.

[@somdutroy]

@@wonderboytroy7484 did he though? Kattar landed 135 significant strikes on Max, his personal best at that time. It is just that Max landed 3x that. Every fighter that fights Max has their personal best strikes landed on him. Ortega, Volk, Yair, Kattar, Poirier. Max just has the unbreakable chin that lets him out land his opponents in most cases.

[@wonderboytroy7484]

@@somdutroy absolutely he looked faster than ever. Him getting hit has nothing to do with his speed. He gets hit because he pressures so heavily and doesn’t back up. It’s not just his chin that allows him to out land his opponents. It’s his insane pace and elite pressure boxing. I’m not saying he didn’t get hit. He stood directly in front of him and delivered endless combos all night so yeah he was there to be hit when Kattar had the chance to swing back. That fight was the furthest thing from close or competitive. Just because Kattar landed means next to nothing when you actually watched the fight and saw how it truly went down. One guy taking 1 to land 4 and getting completely out hustled also he couldn’t match Max’s speed.

[@somdutroy]

@@wonderboytroy7484 Kattar got almost finished within a round and half. There are slow mo videos showing Max taking real fight finishing shots from Kattar square on his chin at least 1-2 times every round. Kattar was basically a punching bag for 3 rounds and he still landed well. And that is totally not comparable to Volk vs Max. Max got frozen (like Elsa? 😝) from Volk's power and elite boxing defense. Kattar is the perfect match for Max. Get a guy who consistently leg-attacks Max (like Yair or Volk), and we can see that Max is actually human.
