Holloway’s stock is up and Volk’s is down.

It’s a good fight for the fans, and Max will have a chance at an Izzy-esque redemption “I beat that guy one time.”
 
Volkanovski deserves the next crack at Topuria. I'm not sure if he should take it, all things considered, but he should be next before Max if he wants it. Volkanovski/Holloway IV is a pipe dream and possibly years away at this point.
 
Volk jerked around fighting out of division and so shouldn't get the immediate rematch

Also, got absolutely melted in the fight he lost the belt. Not like it was close or controversial

No to an immediate rematch here

Nonsense
 
I've been mocked for saying that Max would eventually be able to beat Volk over the last cpl years.

He has time on his side tho so it seems pretty obvious. 4 years younger means something although I must admit I didnt anticipate the gap closing this quickly.

I was thinking more like 5-10 years loke Tito/Chuck 3 lol.
 
They are 3-0. Give it a rest.

Holloway / Topuria then Volk gets the winner. You can build either outcome, save Volk from himself (force him to rest), and you can justify Max / Volk 4 if he beats Topuria.

Volk should not be getting a title shot off of 2 KO losses. It's honestly an absurd idea even if there is precedent. Which I'm not sure there is.

Don't necessarily disagree if I'm being honest, but they've made a habit of giving long reigning champs their rematches. Izzy is about to get another crack at the belt off a loss (not even against the guy that dethroned him).

I'd rather Max get the next crack and make Volk take a rest. He never should have taken that Islam fight and he rushed back into a fight with Topuria too.

Agreed, this is the way.

Volk needs time off to recover whether he likes it or not.
 
Topuria should fight Max first, and then Volk can fight the winner. Volk needs to sit out and recover from the KO

Volk's next fight can still be a title fight, but Topuria's next fight should not be against Volk

Volk needs a longer break after back to back KO losses, and Topuria doesn't need any such break. Holloway and Topuria can fight in late July or August, and Volk can come back later in the year.

Max vs Top is far more compelling.

While I agree, it should be up to Volkanovski. He has earned the rematch.
 
I'm weary of a fourth fight between these two guys even if Max wins the title off Illia. We just gonna keep letting them rematch until Max gets the win? The third fight ended the rivalry imo

He was just as active at FW as he was in the past. His LW fights were basically in addition to…

Not really. The UFC can give it to whomever they want. Volk has lost 3 of his last 4 and been KO'd twice in a row. It is perfectly reasonable for them to say he needs more time off than Topuria and give Topuria a fight with Max in the meantime.
 
Is it really a crime for Max Holloway to fight for the belt? Understand that if Volk beats Topuria, the odds of Holloway vs Volk are slim. If Max fights Topuria and beats him then Volk vs Holloway will definitely happen.

Id like to see Topuria vs Holloway while Volk can take some needed time off. I honestly think this is a win-win.
