Right? Or Robbery? Volkanovski vs. Holloway II
🕑 Added 2022-03-02 18:56:11 +0000 UTCIs this the most hotly debated and controversial title decision in the history of Mixed Martial Arts? Well, at least alongside the other fights featured in the 'Right? Or Robbery' series so far, but this one has had more staying power as a hotbed of discussion than the Johnson-Cejudo rematch and for my money stirred up more arguments in the immediate aftermatch of the judge's scorecards being read out than Adesanya-Whittaker II.
This 145lb classic has it all: Knockdowns, momentum shifts, two elite operators at the top of their games giving each other different looks throughout. So who won? And more importantly was it right? Or was it a robbery? Listen along as I struggle to figure it all out myself and let me know what your scorecard was on Twitter @C0mbatChr or in the comments below

Great fight and could’ve gone either way for sure

I can't get mad at the decision because I love these 2 fighters. 2 all time greats

Yeah I don’t think it’s a ‘robbery’ at all but definitely solid shouts for Max. Super competitive fight. Great to watch too. Thanks for your patronage and thanks for your comment! Appreciate you getting involved

I think you gotta blame Bisping for commentary that was weighted heavily in favour of Max for the big robbery cries. Still leaned 3, 4, 5 to Volk, didn't see the knee-punch at the end of round 4 as impactful enough to swing it to Max, but it's close either way. 4 is the swing round and depending on what you weigh in the round, it can go either way.
