    That 3rd round HAS to go down as one of the greatest rounds in UFC history. Volk had to dig DEEP for that. So did Ortega to even survive. Absolutely a fight that blew all expectations out of the water. Knew it would be great. Had no idea it would end up as one of the most exciting fights I've ever seen. From the build up for months to the actual fight, this was a W all around for the MMA community. Good freakin job!

      The fans were overlooking this fight in favour of the Diaz vs Lawler fight purely out of name recognition. I knew this fight was going to be good, but I had a gut feeling it would go down as an all-time classic, and it did! Much respect to Volk and Ortega.

    Volkanovski, like Usman, is finally earning the respect that should have been given to him a long fucking time ago. 99/100 fighters would have tapped for those submissions from Ortega. Volk just refused to quit man. He's such an animal.

      Volk is fighting way better competition. Usman got two free defenses against Masvidal the journeyman lol. Woodley got beat by everyone, including paul. Colby and Burns are kinda legit, idk about burns beating Maia and Woodley to get a shot at the belt… hmm dont know, and Colby beating Lawler to get the first fight with Usman and then Woodley on a losing streak to get a rematch. Ortega, Holloway, Mendes, and Aldo are way better wins.

    • @romxxii
      @romxxii 3 года назад +9

      He didn't deserve to get shit on; Holloway fans are just toxic AF. It was a close fight, and nobody was even disputing the two rounds that Max clearly won. Unfortunately this is UFC, and you don't win with just 2 rounds, you need to win at least 3. Two of the three judges assigned to the fight thought Volk won 3 rounds. That's the way the game's played.

    • @aaronm2283
      @aaronm2283 3 года назад

      I disagree on it being stacked division, what is next for volk, max holloway was being put against yair was never going happen with his track record and now try to set up ranked 8 giga. Max is sat at number 1 that's a whole of division just being waisted because they want to find that next contender. Max and volk have took out majority of top 10, It kinda reminds me of the flyweight days with DJ. The only way they can resolve this issue is bring fighters like Arnold Allen and giga, set them up with easier fights than holloway. Let holloway get a trilogy fight with volk.

      Because most fans are emotionally invested in ONE FIGHTER & when they lose there reality crumbles because they feel THEY LOST, Hence Max Fanboys living through his success are fucking miserable, Get over It, Australia Is running the show now, If you got a problem with that, Meet him in the cage & leave your "glock for protection" at home hahahahahahahahaha

    Crazy how volk's head was turning pink when he was in the gilly and still didn't tap. The 3rd round is possibly the best round of all time.

    While in the triangle Volkanovski was staring daggers right in the eyes of Brian, that send chills down my spine. That's one of those magical moments in mma. What. A. Fight.
