So true mate, it was a hard day for Volkanovski, KO in the first round was just brutal for a guy like him, but I totally understand why Islam attacked that way, he just wanted to avoid what happened in the past fight, so, this time he has to go all in.
It was a great game plan by Islam Makhachev, looking for body shots from the start and landed some and when Alexander Volkanovski was expecting another body shot he went high and that caught him flush and made the statement.
And my prediction about the Russian guy on his debut was right, it was an easy x1.4 as I mentioned before, too bad I missed the fight, it was too early morning for me, but I will search for the replay. For sure it was a crazy one.
Shara Magomedov was taken down 3 times in his UFC debut, striking wise he is the best, as Dana White said after the fight he needs to improve his take down defense from a guy from Dagestan as the rest of the roster will focus on his weakness.
