Listen, Volk is one of my all-time favorite fighters and I respect the hell out of him, and it's easy to argue that after everything he's done at 145 and how the UFC has been handing out instant rematches over the years, Volk is the dude that legitimately deserves one. That being said, I'm still going to be happy if it doesn't happen.
Instant rematches are getting really fucking old, and with Max putting on a masterclass of a performance against Gaethje, Ilia vs Max has to be the next fight to make.
Also, wouldn't hurt Volk to either give his brain and body a good rest, or taking a fight against a less dangerous opponent than Ilia in the meanwhile to keep himself busy and to possibly get his momentum back. Coming off of two rough KO losses in a row and then fighting Ilia again is not a joke, nor do I think it's a good idea for him.
