Hindsight is 20/20, but I didn't see Alex being able to exploit Max the way he did. Looking back at their first two fights, it was clear that Alex could get in and land shots with his explosive speed, but it wasn't what he replied upon. Almost like he didn't think he could just outclass Max, or maybe didn't realize it (for better wording). He came in, and believed in his speed and accuracy this time, and it showed. In many ways, it was a version of the final Fury/Wilder matchup, where after analyzing the data, it was just a matter of Fury not only believing in his skills, but betting on them. Alex bet on himself to the point of talking down to Max in the middle of the fight, and what a bet it was. I love Max and everything he's accomplished, but Alex is flat out better than him. He just needed to realize it himself. Dude looked clinical out there, and left no room for doubt.volk too quick with a lot of volume Holloway couldn't match him thought it'd be a more even fight. izzy and cannonier both seemed pretty cautious throughout the fight don't think either really suffered too much damage Izzy got the leg up in points. Looks like Izzy vs. Pereira is next both fighters did their part and got their wins & they have the whole story line set up. maybe they fight in October or November. If Volk moves up to 155 lb I'd probably like to see him go against Chandler, but hes probably going straight for the title shot don't know how he'd fair against Oliveira (or Islam if he ends up champ)

Woodley at least could always ko out cold someone, if people doesn't lunge like idiots at lasagnya, he can't ko a basket of kittens to save his life.I did see some people calling him Israel Woodley on Insta
Nah, vettori was attacking constantly for 5 round and he still won because he leg kicked him from distance for 5 rounds.Adesanya probably will just go for points in his fights and just do enough to win so he can keep his belt and get those PPV points the opponent is going to have to be the aggressor and really push Izzy to bring out more of the dog in Izzy I feel like the last time he was really damaged was in the Gastelum fight lol hopefully Pereira will come forward and Izzy will match the pace and the next matchup might be more a barn burner he'll no longer have the height/reach advantage and Pereira will be able to match him in striking
I think Volk is probably the more exciting fighter to watch because hes usually the shorter guy and doesn't have any reach advantage he has to use his speed and come forward/be the aggressor to get on the inside to get his hits in and get out quickly
