This is basically what happened to Volk vs Makhachev, but the role is reversed, in this match, Alex robs Max, while in the Islam match, Islam robs Alex, so what we can learn here? We learn that attempting takedown gives u W
@@parfaitcell3067 Totally true and one of the worse realities of UFC judging. Takedowns should only be worth it if the fighter is able to bring his opponent to the ground and keep him there. That's the meaning behind a takedown. But in the UFC judging, any takedown attempt is scored like the one attempting is winning the fight. It's almost like you go around throwing punches against a opponent, the guy deflects all of them, but you carry the fight because you was being the aggressor. It's against every reasoning in martial arts.
@@logiic8835 cause there’s nobody else at featherweight: Volk destroyed the Zombie, Max won against Rodriguez, Ortega is injured, Kattar lost a few weird times and the rest of the division is kinda lagging behind.
watching this again, max's takedown defense and ability to get up are always underrated. like you see how strong volk is vs other guys and he really couldn't do much with the takedowns here. in the 3rd fight, he was just way too fucking fast and crisp, and that shot that cut max open opened up an already existing gap. i still think max won this one, but after the 3rd fight, there was no doubt in my mind that volk was the pfp best fighter on the planet
No doubt huh? I have quite a few doubts after his lackluster performance against Makhachev. I am completely unbiased in the fact that I have nothing vested in either guy winning or losing. I watched that fight repeatedly just to be as balanced as possible, and every time I watched it I saw only 30 seconds where Volk was useful in the fight. And Volk fans have a hard time facing that fact. They think that winning 30 seconds of a 25 minute fight means that Volk should have walked away victorious. But, that's not how things work. Volk should have lost this fight with Holloway (2) and he definitely lost against Makhachev as well. In fact Makhachev pretty much dropped Volk twice in that fight.
@@MichaelGrubbEvolvedMinistryi love it man. thank you for speaking facts. Volk def lost to islam first fight 100%. people hopped on that last 45 second spurt 😅 where half shots landed on islam shoulder. but yeah. volk vs holloway 2 i gave max the first 3 enough said. i got mad respect for volk but he ain’t untouchable .
@@MichaelGrubbEvolvedMinistry U are completely right. Volk was not even close to win fight with Makhachev (not fan of him). And he clearly lost this fight.
yep the CKB steroid sauce is good asf thats why he went bald lmaoo no featherweight ever gets better and betterr and faster and faster at 34 now 35 years old has never happened..
the fact that volk fought like this the next day after being woken up in the middle of the night by USADA makes this so impressive. he definitely looked less sharp than usual in this fight
@@caseykoz9471 The only people think Max won are Max fans. Couse he got 2 1 second slip knockdowns in 2 rounds don't win a 5 round fight. Also Volk got woken up in the middle of the night by USADA, but i guess that doesn't matter couse it happened to Volk. But if it would have happened to Max you would be "But USADA woke up Max before so he should win" Bullshit. I like both Max and Volk, but Max did not get robbed at all. Volk simply won 3-4-5 that's it. He landed more and harder shoots in round 3 overall. So both had 2-2 Max had 1-2 Volk had 4-5 And round 3 was the deciding round, and Volk simply won it
Man this fight was amazing. Big fan of both and I do think despite how close this was, I think the third fight cleared the last two fights on why Volk won by DEC those times.
@@AD-nq2nz bro u on Alex dick hard huh? New flash buddy max won the second fight & got cheated. The only fight Alex won convincingly was the 3rd. Max smokes everyone else in the division they will definitely fight again
This was prime/peak Max right here, if this version of him fought the entire top 5 of the current Featherweight division of course he would only lose to Volk, everyone else gets beat. BUT current Yair vs this Max would be AMAZING like their first fight
Volkonowski lost the fight. I don't understand why they gave it to him. The first three rounds lost two rounds can be given away because of two takedowns, but they are without continuation.

It goes down to the third round. Max won the first two and Alexander won the last 2. Honestly it could've gone either way, could've been a draw if they allowed that in their scoring system.
@Ivan Getsukdov Volk looked faster and sharper. But max is starting to decline he looked slower and not as sharp. Volk got better and he made it look easy.
@@johnportillo4235 yep, considering max been fighting pro at such a younger age and has taken so much blows. I think he may be starting to decline at this age, though at most fighters 30-33 yo are their prime. I could be wrong tho.
After watching the 3rd fight I truely believe Volk when he said he didn't perform to his potential in this one. Respect to max but it's undeniable that Volk is rightful champ.
i was watching this fight as a complete casual,didn’t knew who either of those two was as i was waiting for usman vs masvidal,and i genuinely thought the big guy (max) won the fight pretty convincingly and i was little bit shocked when volk was announced a winner
I've watched this fight about 7 seven times, and all I can say is this: Max for sure won rounds 1&2, but that means absolutely nothing in a 5 round fight. Yes, Volkanovski was dropped twice, but he got right back up and continued fighting, and didn't really look any worse for wear (in my humble opinion of course). He also seemed to get stronger as the fight went on, and landed the harder shots, and he definitely won rounds 4&5. Round 3 was a toss-up, but I believe Volkanovski JUST managed to steal it by (again) landed harder shots. It really was a close fight. I love Max, and I wouldn't have been upset if he'd won, but I vehemently disagree that he was robbed. And the fact that Volkanovski completely dominated him in the third fight definitely proves he is the better fighter of the two. And really, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what everybody thinks: Volk is 3-0 against Max. So put that in your back pocket.
@@killerkdawg88 Round 1 for sure should've been a 10-8. He hurt him bad enough to warrant a 10-8, on top of all the damage he did that round as well? Anytime it's a close fight, you never know with these judges and out of date scoring system. A system that is for boxing, not MMA honestly.
@@joeschmo247 see, for me, a 10-8 round is complete domination throughout the fight. The knockdown in round one happened at the very end, and as I said: Volk got right back up. Otherwise, the round looked fairly competitive from my vantage point. A knockdown doesn’t automatically guarantee a 10-8 round to me.
@@killerkdawg88 I don't think just a knockdown automatically makes it a 10-8 round. But put that, with what max did to Valk in the first round, I personally would've scored it 10-8. Either way, Valk proved everyone that doubted him wrong in this last fight. There's no denying this last fight who won, but still Max never got knockdown. Which is insane knowing how Max fights. Even Valk talked about Max's chin in this last post fight interview. I believe Valk will be at the top of that division for awhile.
@@HappyLeigh It should mean nothing. Let’s say Max actually won this fight. Volk beat him the first time so he becomes 1-0 over him, then holloway comes back and wins this fight so they are tied 1-1.

@@HappyLeigh I mean it definitely would have changed things and maybe Max would have actually done something in the 3rd fight, but I’m just saying the debates about the second fight should be over with because of the third fight

A lot of people are saying 3-0, 2-1. Nah I prefer 13-2 because that’s what the round score is. Bald Volk the goat please start putting some respect on his name
Volk hit 1 knee for a split second which could have been from a slip as well as the punch togheter, it was more of an off balanced KD not a concussed one couse Volk popped back up like nothing happened and fired back. So he wasn't dropped on his ass badly or anything, i can see why they don't count it as a legit KD
alexander is really a tough guy man with iron chin he eat max two kicks in the face and uppercuts too he really deserve belt in light feather and walter weight

Volk clearly won first and third fights but that fight is questionable in my opinion. Volk won championship rounds Max first 2 and 3 rd was close you can go either way in round 3.
Im a bit worried for volks. People might descredit him like charles if islam could make him look like an easy prey. I hope everyone would respect fighters if they either win or loss. They are battering each others faces while we only watch the show.
@@asala1857 Definitely not more control as it was back and forth and volk landed shots as well as did max but 2 kd’s is what win him the rounds 10-9. Nowhere close to 10-8
@@realkingrav2265 max dominated volk in every aspects , landed heavier and more shot why it fucking should be a 10-9 , knockdown + striking domination = 10-8 it’s not because volk landed some good shot that it deserves 10-9 , if we score mma by your criteria we will never see a 10-8 round
You all say that his knockdowns mean nothing, but Volk's abysmal control time with no damage wins him the fight? how does that make any sense? The live odds were -230 for max at end of the fight for a reason lol.
The one thing many MMA fighters lack is a “stiff boxer’s jab”. Max doesn’t have one. If he did and knew how to use it, he’d of easily beat Volk. Max has a good straight right. But he needs a stiff left jab to set up his right. His left jab is lazy and ineffectual
How in the world did volk won that fight?? The first 3 rounds max won easily… It‘s clear that UFC didn‘t want volk to lose. Everyone who says that the first 3 rounds are not for max is delusional..
U my man are the delusional one. Why would the ufc want volk to win over max. Volk clearly won the last 3 rounds landing more strikes and if u don't believe that then watch the weasel, u can't make things up the proof is right there on his video
Watching this fight, makes me believe, no question about the P$P GOAT status anymore!!! Volk was dropped few times in only 2 rounds..,JONES, LOSt versus Reyes, also got hurt multiple times like few close decisions!! Now, WHEn DID Khabib HURT, Damaged, ANY visible cut, any drop of blood fall from him!?? NONE,NEVER, ANY FIGHT!!! 29-0 speaks for itself!!! Khabib "the EAGLE" Nurmagomedov is the GOAT!!! No argues abot that!! Wont be soon, any1 reaching his legacy and achievements!!! If EVER!
Max won, the late takedowns convinced the judges. But you see, in this fight as opposed to the 3rd fight, Max was throwing both low leg kick from the outside and the right straight cross from the outside(didn't throw those as much as he should have, but did); while in the 3rd fight he didn't use those at all. Still seems clear to me he got paid to lose that fight, just like Rose was paid to lose to Esparza. Quite easy to see.

USADA came and woke him up in the middle of the night too lol. Dude said he took melatonin and woke up groggy asf😂Volks different
@@trilephuc4816So if I were the opponent, I would want to fight someone at 100% of his condition. So there's no excuse when I beat him lmao
Max literally won the fight but Volks can't accept his loss to Islam. That's the difference
He accepts the second loss. He won the first match up. Stop talking sheet.
Max won this fight.. Dana agrees, the media agreed. The judges should be held criminally responsible for a robbery.
A lot of people are saying 3-0, 2-1. Nah I prefer 13-2 because that’s what the round score is. Bald Volk the goat please start putting some respect on his name
Bald Volkanovski is undefeated
Max beat Volk's ass here. I wonder how the judges came up with this nonsense?
Win or lose. The fact that the official stats didn‘t count even one Knockdown for holloway is beyond my mind..
Volk hit 1 knee for a split second which could have been from a slip as well as the punch togheter, it was more of an off balanced KD not a concussed one couse Volk popped back up like nothing happened and fired back.
So he wasn't dropped on his ass badly or anything, i can see why they don't count it as a legit KD
Official stats show Volk consistently outlanding him too so 🤷♂️
Why would it? Flash knockdowns don't count. Volk wasn't even wobbled.
Quién iba a pensar q llegaría un desconocido Topuria q ganaría a éstos dos monstruos y reinaría en el peso más difícil de la UFC!
Looking back at it I think Holloway would have done a lot better against Khabib then people give him credit for, his takedown defense is super solid
Thank you Larone
Holloway won this match...
who's watch in 2024, after UFC 300 ?
Eu linda
Holloway was the proof that Volk is just a normal human being.
hollywood got the first 4 rounds Volk finished strong on the final round we dont know how they judges be counting score these days smh
Whoever thinks this is a robbery…… god help your soul…. I pray for you
It’s not that deep lol you need some self reflection brother
alexander is really a tough guy man with iron chin he eat max two kicks in the face and uppercuts too he really deserve belt in light feather and walter weight
Holloway 3-2 imo, would love to see them make it a trilogy tho
Max won 1,2 and 4). 3 and 5 is clearly Volk. Round 4 is so tough to score, i had this even till Holloway took last 10 sec with right hand and knee to the body
Gahdamn homies been STOCKED up just waiting to drop all this
Wild to think that Volk was literally on melatonin pills for this fight cause he was woken up in the middle of the night for USADA testing
And the fact that he waited to say that after the trilogy just says everything he wanted to make no excuses
haha melatonins not shit
@@jonahstapleton5987 he actually mentioned it before on some random podcast after the fight but lucky for him it didnt go viral or im sure people would have gave him a bunch of crap for it
@@er7776 melatonin barely does shit
@@cloudboy.x i was talking about him making "excuses" for his performance against holloway 2 not about the pills. If people found out after their second fight im sure max fans would have said he is coping, but now after the third fight it seems less like an excuse and more like a fact
Biggest heist ever ! Best is blessed
bros 4-4 in his last 8. Best is the great
Volk clearly won first and third fights but that fight is questionable in my opinion. Volk won championship rounds Max first 2 and 3 rd was close you can go either way in round 3.
Draw or Holloway win!
i thought max won the first two fights while volk clearly wont the third.
Max schooled him
Damn Max got it
I don't think he will stand a chance against makachev
Im a bit worried for volks. People might descredit him like charles if islam could make him look like an easy prey. I hope everyone would respect fighters if they either win or loss. They are battering each others faces while we only watch the show.
Honestly 3 rd is a toss up I believe a lot of you are copy & paste fans and don’t know a lot but 3rd rd is definitely a toss up
Max definitely should have won this
wow max did win this fight i thihnk. volk looked way better in the 3rd fight
@Hue Wong nah max won the first two round by 10-8 and the third round is really really close
@@asala1857 10-8 my ass 🤣 it was nowhere near dominant in the first 2 rounds to give 2 10-8’s. Besides the KD’s it was a back and forth fight
@@realkingrav2265 Nope max dominated volk in striking, he also had more control and he knocked him down it’s clearly a 10-8 by judging criteria
@@asala1857 Definitely not more control as it was back and forth and volk landed shots as well as did max but 2 kd’s is what win him the rounds 10-9. Nowhere close to 10-8
@@realkingrav2265 max dominated volk in every aspects , landed heavier and more shot why it fucking should be a 10-9 , knockdown + striking domination = 10-8 it’s not because volk landed some good shot that it deserves 10-9 , if we score mma by your criteria we will never see a 10-8 round
Volk needed to get deep in there man. Can’t just take all those kicks all night.
FACE OF VOLK IS CHANGED BY A VERY FINED SHOTS BY MAX AND MAX CLEARLY WON THIS FIGHT.
he didn't , those max fans are being delusional because volkanovski did win this fight
XDXDXD holloway fans crying is so funny
This fight was a Robbery.
Max Won Big Time this fight.
How did he win any round besides the first two
You all say that his knockdowns mean nothing, but Volk's abysmal control time with no damage wins him the fight? how does that make any sense? The live odds were -230 for max at end of the fight for a reason lol.
He sure did a lot of damage in the third fight though 🤷♂️
How was the arena so empty?
The one thing many MMA fighters lack is a “stiff boxer’s jab”. Max doesn’t have one. If he did and knew how to use it, he’d of easily beat Volk. Max has a good straight right. But he needs a stiff left jab to set up his right. His left jab is lazy and ineffectual
Max definitely won
1st fight Volk
2nd fight Max
3rd fight Volk
I wonder if they’ll get a 4th fight?
That was hands down one of the most aggregious robberies i have ever seen
Larone show your face already we need to see the man of the hour… you on fire lately
How in the world did volk won that fight?? The first 3 rounds max won easily…
It‘s clear that UFC didn‘t want volk to lose.
Everyone who says that the first 3 rounds are not for max is delusional..
U my man are the delusional one. Why would the ufc want volk to win over max. Volk clearly won the last 3 rounds landing more strikes and if u don't believe that then watch the weasel, u can't make things up the proof is right there on his video
The third fight though.. 😂😂🏆
Not gonna lie think max should’ve got the nod and Volk is my favorite fighter
Watching this fight, makes me believe, no question about the P$P GOAT status anymore!!! Volk was dropped few times in only 2 rounds..,JONES, LOSt versus Reyes, also got hurt multiple times like few close decisions!! Now, WHEn DID Khabib HURT, Damaged, ANY visible cut, any drop of blood fall from him!?? NONE,NEVER, ANY FIGHT!!! 29-0 speaks for itself!!! Khabib "the EAGLE" Nurmagomedov is the GOAT!!! No argues abot that!!
Wont be soon, any1 reaching his legacy and achievements!!! If EVER!
10-9 Max. 10-9 Max. 10-9 Max.
If you go watch the full fight not just the highlights you know Max won 🤷🏻♂️ its 2-1 Volk
Volk looks like he's 2 Rogans tall
Max won, the late takedowns convinced the judges. But you see, in this fight as opposed to the 3rd fight, Max was throwing both low leg kick from the outside and the right straight cross from the outside(didn't throw those as much as he should have, but did); while in the 3rd fight he didn't use those at all. Still seems clear to me he got paid to lose that fight, just like Rose was paid to lose to Esparza. Quite easy to see.
Max holloway the weight bully has no business being a featherweight at 6’0
Max is a Grafter and Both Brilliant fighters.💯🌎🙏👌🏽👌🏾👌🏿👌🏼👌🏻👌❤️
Funny how Volk fans think he deserves to be winner in this fight AND the fight with Islam Makhachev 😂
R1 Max R2 Max R3 Volk R4 Max R5 Max excuse Me but there is a new champion is Max Holloway in this brawl he knows how to steal match
volk is all around just better
max fs should’ve won this fight
Holloway clearly got beaten in their 1st and 3rd fight but he took this one
Max won this fight man.
What a robbery
I m dmmm sure Max will return UFC champion 🏆
volk is the best!!!!
I think it should be Max..
6:44 music?
Чистейшая ограбление, Макс выграл хорошо попадал!
Bruh that was a robbery
That was ridiculous. Max won 4-1 easily!
its clear Max won this fight
