      @@hempybubbles6811 I hope they do the rematch soon, as well. It was a boring fight and it looked like Holloway was coasting, thinking he was ahead. Hopefully, he goes harder in the rematch and takes a little more risk. I'm not a Holloway fan but I do think he can do better than that. Volkanovski shut him down but, other than leg kicks, he didn't do much either.

      @Cassie Cheng More like the GSP effect, they're so worried about his grappling and strength that they just freeze in place. He's one of those opponents where you just have to say "Fuck it" and just start throwing, if it sticks, it sticks. So many fighters are stuck in the mindset of winning instead of fighting which causes them to lose against guys like Alex, there's nothing miraculous about the guy he's just a strong grappler that you can't shake off.

      To be fair I think that Dustin fight is messing with him, the few times he got after Edgar he seemed to hold back and he was freezing up during his rush. I actually thought Max was gonna get koed if Alex had power in that overhand. Max needed to lead the dance, the few times he started to land Alex showed him too much respect but he never got after it. I think he's got the skill set he just needs to close that distance better or bring back some of his own kicks, to reliant on counter punching later imo.

    Alexander Volkanovski performed incredibly, but he used 3 very specific weapons designed directly at Max Holloway's style. Expected, as Max was on the top of the heap for so long. The same way Max used 2-3 specific weapons to conclusively beat Jose Aldo who had been at the top of the heap even longer. This means that if Max and his team can figure those out, he should have a shot.
    1. A LOT of feints. Max's defense is to step/lean back from strikes instead of blocking/parrying or moving his head, a lot like GGG. A sustained use of effective feints (shrug the shoulder, the 'death glare' at the target spots, a half-step in, etc) can interrupt his volume and make him reset.
    2. Stance-shifting advances. Volk would put his guard up, step forward into southpaw, and step again into orthodox. This made Max back off and reset every time he was starting to gain momentum. It has to be combined with feints and actual strikes occasionally to be convincing, but it worked.
    3. Limiting the exchanges. If you exchange with Max, just like with Tony Ferguson or Nick Diaz, you will win some but eventually lose, because their volume and pace will almost certainly beat yours. Just like Gaethje did to Ferguson, Volk didn't throw that much but threw in specific spots aimed at interrupting the volume/pressure fighter's flow. When they were apart, Volk constantly threw leg kicks. When they were in close, Volk bobbed and weaved with a tight high guard, and threw counters in combination, which interrupted Max's own strikes, and then he got out. So Max was never really able to get the ball rolling, while Volk scored often from out far, and occasionally from in close.
    If Max can check the leg kicks more, or stay even further apart when they're at long range, he can take that weapon away somewhat. Or, he can bite down and keep the pressure up and constantly attack the body in order to crowd Volk (the way Ferguson did to Pettis, Cowboy, RDA, etc), he definitely has a good shot at victory. It's the most interesting stylistic matchup of the fight island card, can;t wait to see it

      @@GrimReaper-xg3jo Max got 2 flash knock downs in rounds 1 and 2. The rounds were very close before that, but those flash knock downs gave the first two rounds to Max.
      Don't forget, and the official stats will back me up on this, the first round both fighters landed the same amount of significant strikes, the second round Volk actually landed 1 more significant strike.
      So you give the first two rounds to Max, but then Volkanovski won the last 3 rounds. So volkanovski won 3 rounds to 2

    Yeah Max is a nice guy, but I feel he’s not giving Alex the credit he deserves. He not only landed leg kicks but counter almost every punch Max threw on him. He shot down Max strategic and didn’t let him land anything significant really.
