Thanks god I changed my decision and made a bet on Ilia Topuria instead of Holloway but the sad fact is that I risked a small amount, $100. This was a phenomenal show. Ilia Topuria become the first guy to knock Max Holloway. Oh my god, he is a serious threat to any fighter, he is really one of the greatest. I'm very sad for Holloway's loss, despite the fact that I made a $100 bet on Topuria, I was still hoping that Max would knock him out but he failed.
By the way, I suggest everyone to watch first seconds of their fight. Ilia's dumb idea was to stand in the center of Octagon but Holloway acted like a bullfighter. That moment is must to watch, Ilia seriously failed in that moment.
What I'm wondering is if Max Holloway had gone when Ilia called at the beginning of the fight, would anything have changed? I don't think so, the bastard hits very hard.
When he hit Volkanovski with the same shot, he easily broke him too.
He should still be grateful because $100 today is already important for most given the economic conditions that we have. He was lucky to change the bet at the last minute. As most bookies, will allow cashout only for certain period. But changing the bet will require another bet if cashout period has already passed. But at least Holloway gave a good fight. And that would be his lesson the next time around, the strategies that he got from this fight. It is by no means the end of his era, so he has still a lot of chance to prove his strength and skills.
