Rogan believes Volkanovski beat Makhachev in their first fight

Joe Rogan, a longtime UFC commentator, believes Alex Volkanovski, the promotion's former featherweight champion, beat Islam Makhachev, the organization's lightweight champion, in his first fight.

"When Volkanovski fought Islam the first time and he was well prepared, it was an amazing fight. I thought he won. The controversy was the second round. I saw that the second round could have gone either way, but I gave it to Volkanovski, "- said Rogan.

Recall that in the first fight Makhachev won over Volkanovski by referee's decision. And in the rematch Islam knocked out Alex.
