    Best opponent Amanda has faced, I'd like to see a rematch sometime.

    Really disappointed there,I thought Nunes would strike. She is more vulnerable than I thought.

    Would have to be a long time in the future though. GDR's grappling is just totally inadequate. On the feet she definitely has the measure of Nunes, but a rematch anytime soon would just look exactly the same.

    Knew randomine would have enough for Nunes on the feet did not think she'd play dead on the ground tho. Good scrap while it lasted

    I thought the Shevchenko fights were a lot closer & a better watch. De Randamie is an awkward opponent for Nunes & that's all I can really say about her after it. I think Valentina would beat Nunes if she performed like that.

    At least we can be fairly sure that the co-main will be be a better spectacle.

    She already did beat her imho. Bullet has her number for sure.

    This should be good Holloways chin will fall off a cliff sometime, maybe tonight?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,626 ✭✭✭Still Ill


    Yeah, my mind has been changed. Think Volkan might do to Max what Dustin did. I hope I'm wrong and Max produces another masterclass and cements his position as the GOAT featherweight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 736 ✭✭✭al87987


    GDR has lost two similar fights to Nunes, there will not be a third.

    10 9 to Volkan imo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,156 ✭✭✭mangobob


    close but 20 18 Volkan for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,625 ✭✭✭✭Johner


    Volkanovski has got his tactics spot on, hard to see Max turning this around now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 738 ✭✭✭MikeyGorse


    Volkanovski ahead surely

    Yeah, needs a KO and probably doesn't have the power


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,156 ✭✭✭mangobob


    Rd 3 clearly won by Volkan. 30 27

    I expected this fight to be a barn burner, kinda disappointed.

    Really? I think its a great fight. Its everything the last fight wasn't. All its missing is some knock downs, but both of these guys are so durable.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 693 ✭✭✭MidlanderMan


    This fight playing out as the touch and go snooze fest I expect the main event to be.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,914 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Well I told you all about this guy before his first UFC fight. He is something special. Regardless of the outcome he will be highly respected after this fight. I think he is up by three rounds to one.

    I really just think Max is being too timid after the DP fight at 155.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,156 ✭✭✭mangobob


    Fantastic fight. I think Volkan has taken it. Best guess he wins 3 rounds to 2.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 693 ✭✭✭MidlanderMan


    48-47 AV.

    Max lost this fight, he should be confident about taking the rematch handily.

    Not much of a spectical.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,914 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Magnificent performance from Alexander. Absolutely delighted for him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,161 ✭✭✭finglashoop


    50 45??

    Whatever judge scored it 50-45 needs to be taken out and shot.

    Judges in Vegas are, routinely, retarded.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,056 ✭✭✭darced


    50 45??

    Outstruck him easily on strikes landed in every round.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,914 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    50 45??

    Did you see the graph of the strikes per round? He hit more than Max in every round

    Max is everything a champ should be. Weirdly he has gone up even higher in my estimation watching him handle that defeat. Just class.
