The narrative that Volkanovski did more damage?

I mean there was only one guy who was breathing heavy and got punched easier and easier by the second when the fight was finished. Lucky that it wasn't for a little longer.

Other than that, I know that Josh was hurting in his body when that was over. But I wouldn't guess Yair would have the same timetable.

Volkanovski didn’t want to get up in the fourth round. He didn’t want to take damage on the feet. Islam was piecing him up. He decided to accept his position.
Every counter was bullseye.
 
People who dont train all that much read too much into superficial bruising, nose bleeds, and minor cut. Some people mark up easily. Look at the diaz bros. The reality is while yes, it's nice to see that stuff and go "he got fucked up!", the most damaging stuff tends to be the hardest to notice.

It was a close fight all around. People just have an obsession with things being in clear cut one sided boxes. Not everything is an absolute but people will struggle with that concept for a loooong time
 
Is the cut from this elbow? If someone knows what strike it was that caused that cut please let me know me.
