ANALYSIS: Alex Volkanovski loses UFC 284 battle but the war is just beginning
However, Volkanovski has lost none of his reputation in defeat. In fact, remarkably, he seems to be earning more credit that Makhachev, despite being on the wrong end of the scorecard.
Before the fight, such an outcome seemed possible but at no point did Volkanovski seem in over his head. The UFC is in the business of putting on fights the fans want to see and there is no punter anywhere in the whole wide world who tuned in for this bout and did not end the day wanting more.
