Volkanovski was put out cold in the second round and he didn't do much to ilia
While Max actually had his moments and he was hurting ilia at some points, he was winning the fight so far imo, also it was a tko, not a KO
He did better than Volka who is coming off of 2 knockout losses now and if their whole point for their rematch is his title reign, Max had a previous better title reign
I dont think any of them should get a rematch right now, there are other interesting contenders and fun match ups for ilia such as Lopes, Yair, Sterling, etc
