Ariel was very impressed with Max’s comeback and shared his one major takeaway from the fight. He said that Max Holloway has still got it which was up for question coming into this fight as Holloway was coming off of a very long lay off after his last Alexander Volkanovski fight. While Alex has proved he is the best fighter in the world right now, it still hurt Max Holloways stock to lose to Alex three times in a row.
Incredible bounce back performance for Holloway after it was unclear where he stood following Volk 3.
Also big takeaway: Alex Volkanovski is really, really good.

Ariel was impressed how Max was able to bounce back though as Max proved to the world he is still number one at Featherweight. Time will tell if Alex and Max will face off in the octagon for a fourth time.
