The Pulse of MMA: Fan Reactions To The Sport’s Biggest Stories

In this installment of The Pulse of MMA, we look at the raw, unfiltered reactions from MMA fans to the booking of Alex Volkanovski vs. Max Holloway III.

Alex Volkanovski vs. Max Holloway Trilogy Set For UFC 272

Yesterday, we learned that Alex Volkanovski will be tasked with beating Max Holloway for the third time when the two meet at UFC 272.

The first time Volkanovski defeated Holloway was in 2019 at UFC 245. Volkanovski was able to win a relatively comfortable decision to capture the featherweight title in Las Vegas, Nevada, three years ago.

The rematch, however, would come with quite a bit of controversy, with many (arguably most) scoring the UFC 251 rematch in favor of the former champ, Max Holloway. Nevertheless, as they say, there are only three opinions that matter, and those were swayed in the direction of the Australian.

Since that loss, Holloway has earned another crack at Volkanovski with back-to-back Fight of the Night-winning victories, first over Calvin Kattar followed by a win over Yair Rodríguez.

So what did The Pulse of MMA have to say after this trilogy bout was announced? Find out down below!

Max won both those fights. I’m surprised Volk is getting a 3rd fight

Max Holloway is so nice man. He let Volkanovski win twice just to make the division more interesting for the fans.
Can't wait for him to get his belt back in a dominant performance.

Likely. Max hurt volk in rd 1 and 2, yet despite having the superior chin and cardio he couldn’t convincingly win another rd against a “point fighter who only has weak leg kicks”. Idk how his fans ignore this and just preach that max was robbed.

They've fought twice now with it being 2-0 for Alex via decision both times. That man is arguably the most well-rounded fighter in the UFC and he has shown incredible toughness and grit in the Brian Ortega fight. He has definitely earned his place on top.

Max Holloway UD 50-45.

Imagine MMA twitter if Volkanovski 3-0s Max Holloway it will be a nuclear reaction ???

This fight is A LOT of pressure on Max! If he loses a 3rd time, he’ll have to move up or hope Volk loses. The fight makes sense, though, Max didn’t get an immediate rematch this time. He beat two tough contenders and EARNED it

The year is 2086. Climate refugees huddle far beneath the earth's surface, clinging to life.
