Felt like a clear Win for Islam Makhachev, he was able to outstrike Volkanovski in majority of the rounds.

Of course everyone is going to call robbery as per usual.

Honestly
I don’t know if Alexander Volkanovski should lose his No. 1 ranking after that performance

I know it’s hard to say that after Islam beat him but idk

Thoughts?
