I still can’t believe how easy Volk made that look

[@ThatBoyKlink]

Even so still 2-1 Volk in everyone mind but the judges. I expect a 4th fight to finally settle it

[@madgavin7568]

@@ThatBoyKlink There will be no fourth fight. Volk proved beyond any doubt that he's the better fighter. This rivalry is over. Its done. Its finished.

The crazy thing about Volk is that just when you think you've seen it all from him, he comes out and improves time after time. At 34 years old nonetheless.

I always thought Volk was a little overrated. He only defended the title against 2 people but when I saw this fight and how badly he blew Max out of the water I changed my mind. Rodriguez is about to get an Ortega level beat down.

@@Sleeepy23 Korean Zombie was the next best fight to make since Holloway pulled out injured. He was the highest ranked fighter coming off a W so it made sense. So he beat the shit out of the next highest ranked fighter coming off a W, what more do u want hater

[@peteyd1984]

Volk taunting Max after landing hits is metal as fuck, what a beast

[@davidng8870]

Because he started so late Volk has improved so much even since he became champ. This version just reminds me of a viper, so fast on both offense and defense, incredible. Hope he can keep it up for a while still

[@oiyoustfuplz]

I remember how in the post fight presser Volk said how USADA randomly woke him up at an odd hour right before the 2nd Max fight, it explains why he looked weird in that fight.

[@backbone93]

I was in disbelief at what he was doing to Holloway, it was some fucking matrix shit. Max looked completely devoid of any fighting chance as the rounds go on, just unbelievable knowing how incredible of a boxer that man is.

[@creatorcomedy1450]

tnf i think he looked better toward the end compared to the first three rounds but not by much. still 50-45 imo

[@horseaphoenix1016]

@@creatorcomedy1450 Now that you mentioned that, I agree. But at the time watching it live I think me and the bois were in shock considering how close it was in the 2nd fight. It also might just be Volk knowing he got the win in the bag and just had to coast and not get finished to get over the line.

[@creatorcomedy1450]

@@horseaphoenix1016 Yeah, I did not see it live either. He did almost win the 4th of 5th, I cant quite remember, but he did not and lost every round. I do not understand how volk improved THAT much. Tbf it really looked like he was feeling himself more than normal. It was his best performance imo and if they fought again, I see volk winning, but I think Max would do better...aslong as they both were on the same level mentally. Regardless, he is 3-0 vs. max, which is crazy, but the first two were wars, so I wouldn't mind seeing them fight again, but Max would have to prove he belongs

[@creatorcomedy1450]

@@horseaphoenix1016 Yeah I was completely shocked. True he might have been cruising a bit. I think it is that paired with max realizing he is getting his ass beat lol

[@kingt0295]

@@creatorcomedy1450tbh the first fight was also a 50-45 so he figured out Max then but every round was decently competitive with a good lean to Volk in the scoring. The second fight max completely switched up his style to “Muay Thai Max” as Volk called him after that one and caught Volk a few times with his great adjustments. As a huge Volk fan I wouldn’t be mad if they gave that fight to max even tho Volk outlanded Max by a good amount the last 3 rounds it was an amazing fight and the third was just a beat down he barely got touched. Honest to god one of the greatest high level trilogies in MMA ever even though it’s officially 3-0 they’re all good fights.

[@dantemagalhaes9462]

@@thenedsmmachannel8970 Max didn't really seem like himself in the 3rd fight, or in his fight before that with Yair. That's not on Volk. It's on Max to make sure he does whatever he has to so he brings his A game on fight night. But I don't think that third fight is an accurate representation of Max. In any case Volk is the rightful winner in this rivalry for the time being. But in the unlikely event they have a fourth fight in the future I would still pick Max

[@user-tx6zl1yq5s]

13:12 his strength and conditioning wasn’t the problem it’s the fact that max is 5’10 and doesn’t know how to throw a head kick at some one half his height. I was screaming at my tv for it and DC said it aswell max needed to throw more head kicks and set them up with his hands to beat volk. Idk how such a big technical error on max’s part was never addressed. ESPECIALLY WHEN HE LANDED ONE IN THEIR SECOMD FIGHT AND DROPPED VOLK WITH IT.
