Really? What part of tape indicated Volk would win in the stand up? None of it did, its the same as Andrade/Zhang.
I didn't even see many betting Volkanovski aside from apples and he wiki caps. In regards to Max not changing his game, exactly he is only 28. Remember max fought and lost against Conor a few years ago.
If you watched the fight, his striking shows he didn't do anything spectacular. He used heavy leg kicks when Max was slightly outside range and when max came in he was winging wild hooks.
Knocking out Chad Mendes isn't exactly the hardest thing to do, he has cardio for 7 minutes and he even got dropped himself by Mendes.
I get he's good, but everybody coming out "I told you so", man give that shit a rest. I didn't see many people here betting him. Maybe 2 or 3 and certainly seemed like just value plays which is fair enough, solid bets.
One thing is a fact, Aldo and Max underperformed ridiculously against him. Maybe I'll put that down to Volkanovski solid ability to stick to a gameplan. But if you think he's actually an amazing fighter then I don't know what fight you were watching.
