The video was titled – ‘There’s NO WAY Volk Lost That Fight’, which clearly showcases Jones’ opinions about the fight. Jones thinks that ‘The Great’ was able to win some grappling exchanges and strike well. “He (Volkanovski) was able to win a bunch of grappling exchanges. He was even able to get on top in the fifth round. I believe that if the fight (had) gone on even one more minute, he probably would have got the finish”, said Jones.

Jones also sounded very sure of his belief that Volkanovski could have finished the lightweight champ if the fight would have gone ahead for one more minute. While Jones also appreciated Makhachev’s performance in the fight, he thought that ‘The Great’ deserved to win the fight.
