[@tobymattana5320]

Volk is 24-1 for a reason. Good everywhere. Max is good everywhere too, not a lot of ppl realize that due to his stand-up style. He was recently gone back to his striking roots since the Kattar fight. He even used his wrestling/grappling in the Yair fight. No longer just boxing heavy, which is great. However Volk is better everywhere and I reckon he doesn't lose this and dominates him worse than the first fight this time using all his tools in a smarter way he did the 2nd. Unless Max catches him like he did in the 2nd on some occasions.

Hate to play devils advocate since I want Max to win but Alex’s game evolved too. And he’s on a different momentum. Max’s last showing against Yair was a bit concerning because he looked a bit slower. I hope to God he proves me wrong but I said the same thing about Zombie too

man, the way ufc fighters talk about other fighters is admirable. the fraternity is real in this sport.

Max saying fighting is his part time job is my favorite thing

[@mmafan2597]

If you wanna be the best you have to beat the best. Best is blessed baby😊

[@gti5700]

The best is blessed. Holloway and Volkanovski are an even match if you ask me. Nobody can beat either of them right now except maybe each other

[@haiti808]

Can’t wait man

[@wadedewell]

I'm cheering for max Holloway

[@mylesmccartin878]

Let’s go Max! Time for some cupcakes ⚔️⚔️⚔️

[@713HTX7]

2 rounds he was winning comfortably and had 2 knock downs and they weren’t 10-8. Max is still the champ

[@pure_legend_0017]

BAHAHA THEY WERE NOT PROPER KNOCKDOWNS PLUS VOLK WON THE FIRST ROUND ANYWAYS

[@lewisd6382]

Do u know what 10-8 round is 🤡

I remember the first fight my reaction was wow Volk did it and the second fight, wow Holloway got it back. Anyone thought Volk won the first and Max won the second?

[@abf7846]

Yes

Max is a champ simply by the way he carries himself. Being present enough to consider not only his families sacrifices but the sacrifices made by everyone else in his circle is awesome. The best is blessed!
