Well-known coach and analyst Teddy Atlas spoke about the fight between Alex Volkanovski and Islam Makhachev.
“Sometimes you can lose a fight and still be the winner. Today it's about Volkanovski. Both guys fought like champions and behaved accordingly. Kudos to both fighters. I thought that everything was closer than on the judges' cards, but it really was a fight in which no one lost. I can say that Volkanovski does not have a granite chin, he is platinum, ”Atlas wrote.
Recall that Makhachev defeated Volkanovski by unanimous decision.
