Max is one of my favs, but volk looked untouchable tonight. Wouldn’t be mad seeing him and Charles at 55

Volk proving he’s the best featherweight on the planet tonight. Shuts out Holloway 5-0 showing he’s in a class by himself in one of the toughest divisions in the sport. Not all performances/wins in mma are beautiful but this is one of them and did it at the highest level.

The first round is a cheat sheet. Max Holloway did not make all the necessary adjustments. Volkanovski continues to improve #UFC276 pic.twitter.com/mGjTzIYltS
