“Not Sure if I’ll Ever Watch” – $170M Worth Lil Wayne in Denial of UFC 284’s Islam Makhachev vs. Alexander Volkanovski Decision

Islam Makhachev beat Alexander Volkanovski on the scorecards to retain his lightweight title at UFC 284. However, the decision at the end f the night did not please a lot of fans. Volkanovski brought the fight to Makhachev and exceeded expectations in the UFC 284 main event. In better words, “The Great” proved why he is atop the pound-for-pound list.

Nevertheless, Volkanovski’s heart and fighting prowess did not earn him the judges’ nod on this monumental night. Several fans and pros took to Twitter to express their frustration with the final decision. Among them, was global celebrity and American rapper Lil Wayne.

In a tweet made shortly after the fight, the 40-year-old let his frustration out. Volkanovski had Makhachev in trouble on numerous occasions. To the surprise of everyone but himself, the featherweight champion neutralized Makhachev’s famed Dagestani grappling. In fact, the Australian’s cardiovascular abilities even gave him the upper hand later on in the fight.

Lil Wayne does not agree with the UFC 284 main event result

As much as Volkanovski surprised in the grappling department, Makhachev held his own in the striking area. The 31-year-old was able to amass significant strikes on Volkanovski thanks to the difference in their height and reach. Nevertheless, the man who came from down under, the heavy underdog, nearly got the job done. The 34-year-old finished the fight on top against the decorated grappler Makhachev.

A close fight in the opinion of many, the scorecards in favor of the lightweight champion were met with boos from the audience. Meanwhile, Lil Wayne voiced his decision on Twitter He wrote, “Not sure if I’ll ever watch UFC again.”

Despite the boos from the audience, Volkanovski made sure that his countrymen gave Makhachev the respect he deserved during the post-fight speech. Although he did not get the second belt, Volkanovski left the arena, having won many hearts.

Given how competitive the fight was, it should not be a surprise if the two cross paths in the future again. For the moment, both champions have hungry contenders waiting for them in their own divisions.
