Alex Volkanovski responds to Max Holloway after their fight by metanoia09 in MMA

Haha yeah fair comments man. I totally get it. I think there’s one approach of still having the respect for the fighter, even though you don’t like that they defeated your boy. But then there’s the other approach which constantly looks for any excuse to discredit their victories. Even in this last fight, the commentators really seemed to struggle admitting Volk is just the better guy. Obviously they did, but I think the words would’ve flown out of their mouths a lot faster if it was Max winning. Bisping in the second fight is an example of that. Human nature though. Hard not to be invested one way or another.

As an Aussie, it’s been frustrating to see. But he’s been defeating fan favourites in their home lands, so I can understand why casuals would hate. Nice for this chapter to end now.

Right on. Such a shame he hasn’t been able to defend on home soil.

We enquired about the offset account and lump payments. They said the fee isn’t there atm due to the higher interest rates. That’s ANZ. Most are probably the same I’d say.

Similar position here. The offset account would be the best decision. Unfortunately in our case we’d have to break the existing terms were on at 4.5% and then refix at the current rate of 5.99%. You might be in the same boat. Otherwise, I think throwing some lump sums at the existing mortgage makes sense, to get the interest down as the others have said. Spoke to our bank and they’ve currently removed the penalty fee for making lump sum payments. Worth looking into.

Haha man that’s brutal. Thankfully if I get mine done, it’s just the upper part of the sleeve on the outer shoulder. Thanks and all the best.
