Max look like he been lifting in quarantine

First strike thrown by Volkanovski?

Leg kick.

He’s no dummy.

— Ryan McKinnell (@RyanMcKinnell) July 12, 2020

Volkanovski is looking really smart right now because hes having a problem landing the outside calf kick so instead hes attacking the inside leg

Herb Dean just seems like a good dude, ya know? #UFC251

Wow! Holloway walks out looking half asleep and then starts things off by landing some solid shots that round… exciting stuff

— Dan Tom (@DanTomMMA) July 12, 2020

Great round 1 from the former champ Holloway. Volkanovski -200 entering round 2, live wagering. #UFC251

Max is mixing it up better this fight keeping him at distance! Champions make adjustments.

— Cody Garbrandt (@Cody_Nolove) July 12, 2020

In the first fight, Volk disrupted Max constantly. So far, Max is content to counterstrike and is finding openings based on what appears to be Volk’s willingness to go to the same attacks from the first fight. Lots of good inside work, too.

This is wild!! To see Max looking so good in the rematch and after the camp he says he had! Looks relaxed and in it!! #UFC251

Max is out here looking like a black belt in Zoom-jitsu.

Max has made some excellent adjustments this fight. He’s putting on a clinic right now. #UFC251

Max is looking incredible. Fantastic adjustments from the first fight. #UFC251

Man Max looks good. But who is tougher than Volkanovski???

— Lauren Murphy (@LaurenMurphyMMA) July 12, 2020

Volkanovski with a lot more pressure in the third, better round for him. Close. I still thought Holloway squeaked it out. 30-27 Holloway on my card.

— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) July 12, 2020

Anyone got a shutout going? Or did Volkanovski bag that round at the end? #UFC251

— Gorgeous George (@MMAjunkieGeorge) July 12, 2020

Haven’t seen Max Thai march like that since his Lamas fight – a fight I always point to when referencing Max building off his opponent’s offense. It’s like he failed to build within his first fight with Volk but was clearly able to build between fights with how he looks tonight.

— Dan Tom (@DanTomMMA) July 12, 2020

Alex gets a takedown but Max pops up

— Kevin Iole (@KevinI) July 12, 2020

Commentary has been off. This fight is EVEN on my card. Holloway vs. Volkanovski. Close middle rounds for sure. But Holloway -300 live entering final round. #UFC251

— Fight Ghost (@Fight_Ghost) July 12, 2020

Clear round for Volkanovski in the fourth. It’s either 3-1 Max or 2-2 going into the fifth. I have 3-1 Max, but that third round was a coin flip. And those kicks to the lead leg are having an effect for Volkanovski. Crucial five minutes coming up.

— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) July 12, 2020

I feel like Max 3-1 is probably the safest bet…

— Dan Tom (@DanTomMMA) July 12, 2020

I think 2-2? It’s getting close. Round 5 here we come.

— Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) July 12, 2020

Such a technical fight.. Think Alex probably needs a finish here in this last round #UFC251

— Shane Burgos (@HurricaneShaneB) July 12, 2020

We need the Ali Act for MMA. I could fight one of these guys, Champion vs Champion. That’s what MMA fans want to see.

— Patricio Freire (@PatricioPitbull) July 12, 2020

Max W. Sweet fuckin fight.

— Sean O’Malley (@SugaSeanMMA) July 12, 2020

Tbh I think Max Holloway should train over Zoom more often #UFC251

— Danny Segura (@dannyseguratv) July 12, 2020

Think max got that one

— Sodiq Yusuff (@Super_Sodiq) July 12, 2020

Strait bullshit

— U R I A H H A L L (@UriahHallMMA) July 12, 2020

Garbage. Pure garbage. Who are these judges.

— caposa (@Grabaka_Hitman) July 12, 2020

Damn, that’s a tough loss for Max. He was in such a rhythm through two rounds. Give credit to Volkanovski for making it close enough for the judges in Rounds 3 and 4 before securing the 5th without a doubt. #AndStill https://t.co/SLR6KVoXOh

— Simon Samano (@SJSamano) July 12, 2020

I’m sorry but that was not a good decision I had Holloway winning the first 3 rounds. Volkanovski closed the distance and took Round 4 easily, plus win around 5. But I had him losing the fight 3 Rounds to 2. Bad decision in my opinion.
