Takeaways:

• You can't kill The Machine

• Nick Diaz doesn't know who set up his fight

• Womens divisions are still a couple elite fighters and a bunch of soccer moms

• Volkanovski and Holloway are on another level

You probably saw another fight then. Because I saw Ortega getting beat up for 4.5 rounds. Just as I predicted.

Awesome performance by both guys, they overdelivered with that fight, was exciting from start to finish. That 3rd round was hectic once it hit the ground, thought it was over once he sunk in that triangle. Brilliant performance on all levels from Volk.

That was ******* MENTALLL, i think when t-city failed his signature move and Volkanovski i don't ******* know how but slipped from that hell of a triangle choke he took ortega's soul with him and after that every attempt was useless.
btw i was waiting only on alex for my parlay and lost like 5-10years of my life.

Possibly the greatest featherweight title fight of all time. Folk and Ortega are terminators.
