It got settled in the third so it really has no relevance in history

That doesn’t even make sense. By that logic Liddell never beat Tito

Its kinda like Frankie/BJ.
BJ won the first fight, but even if he did he people only remember the Frankie wins
JDS/Cain is same
Your anology makes no sense. The second max and volk fight was so close it could go either way and was up for debate.
Then volk destroyed him. Debate over mate

It doesn’t change the fact Volk lost. Bad decisions are a major problem

People seem to give more weight to long beat downs as opposed to fast ko’s.
It does change it completely. It’s not a major problem if the loser gets to run it back. And Max got that chance and got owned
Mma math is the worst.
That doesn’t make sense, “he didn’t win but he won another fight so the previous win doesn’t count”.
I guess in your eyes Tito is way above Liddell
Then? Cain didn’t lose to JDS?
It’s not about debating who’s the best overall, it’s about looking at each fight and how judging changes people’s perception in the future vs at time it happened.
Indeed.
Poirier/Gaethje great example.
Nah you’re just repeating your same dumb argument.
None of those scenarios are comparable to max and volk and you started the whole premise by saying what a shame it is that volk is remembered as the winner for the second fight
I’m saying in this case it’s really not a shame or even important at all because it got rematched and was a total blowout. The debate over the second fight is a waste of time
Plus, volk did win the second fight.
But he didn’t. That’s the issue here
Max is my favorite fighter but Volk has his number. I’d root for Max to win but I think Volk would win again. Let Volk get KOed a few more times and Max starches him.
I think Volk is one or two KOs away from being shot.
I also think Max does better against Topuria. It might be one of those mma triangles where one fighter dominates the other, but can’t beat the other guy

BJ didn’t fight for money, record, or Legacy. BJ fought because he loved fighting…
If MMA was filled with nothing but BJ Penns, nobody would watch any other sports

He sure whined alot when he lost
100% and it literally changed Max’s legacy. I clearly won the fight and dropped Volk twice if I remember correctly.
