if not for one moment, where the Californian clamped on what would have been a fight-ending guillotine against most men. Instead, it was a career-defining moment for Volkanovski, who managed to survive certain defeat and pick up right where he left off. There are still fresh opponents for Volkanovski at 145 pounds, but honestly, it does not feel like there is much of a challenge left for the champion in his current form.
Makhachev is clearly the rightful favorite. Sometimes, these cross-divisional superfights just serve as a reminder of why weight classes exist, and there is a clear possibility this falls into that camp. Volkanovski is on the small end even for his own weight class, and Makhachev’s style is built to leverage any advantages in terms of physicality. That could make this fight a wrap, particularly since there figures to be some wrestling exchanges at some point.
