Congratulations to Makhachev who has successfully defended his lightweight title and replaced Volk in 2nd place in P4P. I think one of the most iconic moments of the night was when Cormier asked who he wanted to challenge and Islam said "it doesn't matter who it is. Dana gives me an opponent and I'll do my job". That is a very extraordinary answer.
For sure Khabib Nurmagomedov will also say the same the Dagestan fighters will mostly be saying something like this except for Belal Muhhamand sure but yeah Islam Makhachev for sure will fight whoever Dana White gave him, but I think It is now time for Islam Makhachev to move on with a new division and maybe get another belt in the Division for sure maybe going up a division to the Welterweight or maybe going down the Featherweight division,
Yup, he sure did make a statement with that win. There's no way we'll be seeing part 3, at least not anytime soon. Fights rarely go how we expect them to, but many pointed out, after the first fight, that Islam should utilise the left kick much more - and so he did.
It was sad to watch Volk in the post-fight conference. I hope that loss won't affect his mentality. He has a pretty challenging fight against Topuria coming in Jan.

For sure I think I have said that Alexander Volkanovski has a weakness for high kicks and for sure Islam Makhachev exposed Volk to this, with just 1 kick for sure it is because Alexander Volkanovski doesn't have any training as well he was caught like that for sure Volks is surely had some rest because he doesn't have any training but Makhachev was really focus indeed,
Btw, I saw some vids and guys in social media talked that Usman was robbed in UFC294. I totally disagree with that. Chimaev took first round, that is 100%. In the second round there were more control by Chimaev, but third round took Usman, because he connected some really good punches. That is 2-1 for me. But, with all respect, Usman is really good. If only he had more time to prepare, there will be a completely different fight.
P.S. Usman has lost 3 last fights. That is the first warning for being ready to get fired

For me, It was clear that Khamzat Chimaev had won that fight, even though Kamaru Usman is showing some good performance with that fight it was still for Khamzat Chimaev so for me this is just for me a rematch is needed,
