It took Volk a couple rounds to get going but I think he won 3-4-5.

I have 3-2 Max.

Honestly, it's probably just better to flip a coin every time these guys fight.
I won't be surprised if these guys ending up fighting 5 times.

Wow. Close one. I took Volk and was rooting for him. I’ll have to run it back. I thought Maxed edged out 3-2..

I'm not happy about that even as an Aussie and Volk fan.

I had it 3-2 Max but hey, the guy win the championship rounds so I can't be too pissed. Crazy that he won 4 and 5 after being dropped in 1 and 2

Holloway looked a LOT better than he did in the first fight, but I think the commentary was E X T R E M E L Y biased towards him. You chumps always say you have to "take" the title away from the champ and can't just coast into the belt, and Volkanovski won 3-4-5.
