If Max wins it will likely be by decision.
I personally can't stand Ilia but if there's anyone that can crack Max's chin, it's him. Moreover, he has the wrestling to be able to submit or GnP Max if he's losing in the standup.
My guess is Ilia lands a KO late in the championship rounds after behind on the scorecards.
I do hope I'm wrong though and Max humbles this kid.
