So, unless the belt is flailing in the tight grip of said fan as they take off down the tunnel, you should just take a deep breath, and stay quiet.

The unfair part for Volkanovski lies in the reaction. And not the ‘robbery’ hashtags; that’s just MMA Twitter. But it’s the lack of recognition of a champion who is doing historically significant things and being told he isn’t.Fans fumed as their favourite fell to 0-2 against Volkanovski, who is now 9-0 in the UFC, and making a pretty strong case to turn that two-man ‘Greatest Featherweight of All Time’ conversation — filled by Holloway and Jose Aldo — into a three-man discussion.

After Holloway took the first two rounds against Volkanovski, including a knockdown in each, the Australian understood he needed to win the next three if he planned on getting his hand raised. And while most thought it was the third that split the judges, it was actually the fifth; a round Volkanovski finished over the top of Holloway, securing two late takedowns to finish the fight.

“That third round was close, but we were confident we got that third round, and then obviously we took the fourth and fifth. Tough fight, but when the scorecards were getting announced, we were pretty sure we got the last three.

'No way in the world': Canberra Raiders victim of bunker blunder in loss to StormIt appears the only people who thought Bailey Simonsson committed a professional foul during the NRL clash between the Raiders and Storm were the ones sitting in the video referees' bunker. NRL is dumb Once again a referring blunder has led to the loss of a game. This ruling can't be undone and the situation fixed. The refs are still just as bad as before. The more help they receive through technology etc, the worse their decision making is. nrl still sucks The bunker is there to review decisions to make sure they are correct . This is clearly failing week after week , either do away with the bunker or fix the problem. NRL have their heads buried in the sand
