Reacting To UFC Moscow Main Event

Zabit Magomedsharipov beat Calvin Kattar in the three-round main event at UFC Moscow. A lot of people saying that they'd like to have seen it go five rounds. Many believe Kattar would have won it if it was five because Zabit was already showing signs of tiring at the end of round two. Granted he wasn't at his best and got sloppier in the third but he still came out fighting. Perhaps Kattar would've won a five round fight but you never know. Maybe Zabit would've got a second wind in the fourth and clipped Kattar, got him to the ground (where Zabit is stronger) and submitted Kattar. Maybe Zabit would have had a different training regime for five rounds and had a much more cautious and defensive strategy for the first two rounds and peaked in the third and fourth. you just never know. Zabit is very technical and, from what I saw, has a knack for choosing exactly the right moves. So if he takes on Max Holloway it'll be tricky for Max in the first two but if it's a five round fight Max will get into a rhythm in the later rounds and should have the cardio to overwhelm Zabit with volume and pressure. That's assuming it's a title fight if Max beats Volkanovski. I really don't know which way Max v Volkanovski will go though.
I want to mention Greg Hardy before I go. He went three rounds with Alexander Volkov and only lost by decision. I think that's his first loss inside the octagon. The other due to rule breaking rather than actually fighting. He can go three rounds against a ranked opponent without an inhaler. That's fairly impressive. He's not ready for the big time yet but he's making remarkable progress considering he came from hand egg.
