After watching his UFC 284 lightweight title bout against champion Islam Makhachev, Alexander Volkanovski believes that he won the fight.
Volkanovski and Makhachev fought to a five-round decision at RAC Arena inPerth, Australia with Makhachev being declared the winner by unanimous decision. Once Volkanovksi viewed the bout in its entirety, he thought that he won three rounds and should have won. And he’s not the only one that believes that. UFC broadcaster Joe Rogan was shocked when Makhachev’s hand was raised instead of Volkanovski’s.
“Just watched the fight, I definitely think I won 2,3 and 5. Surprised I didn’t get my hand raised! Let’s do the rematch, anywhere, anytime!,’ Volkanovski wrote on Twitter Sunday morning.
