I think Volkanovski should take it at the death. Israel had 4 wins, but only 2 of quality. Volkanovski had 3 and 2, respectively. But his quality wins were higher-ranked. Mendes and Elkins > Brunson and Tavares. Volkanovski also beat otherwise 12-0 Jeremy Kennedy. And all his wins were in style. Israel had a split decision.
