BMF tittle - Max vs Gaethje is the fight to make

[AmonTobin]

I don't see the logic behind this match-up, personally. Max has plenty of fights at his weight division, moving heavier would be to his detriment. Gaethje has no reason to fight Max.

 

[Simple Southerner]

Max would get murked Justin is just better right now & also he's
a bigger dude (weight) max is a bmf but this fight doesn't make much sense

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Its the fight to make for every good reason.
I actually give Max a solid chance for the W, which would be huge for an already legendary fighter

I'd watch the fuck out of this. It should be booked well in advance give max time to come in bigger.

It's Max Holloway himself who not long ago "guaranteed" that "one-hundred percent" will move up to LW.

So it's not my "logic" nor my wish. It's Max own decision, period

So when he does, what you, fight fans, want to see from that move? That's the question.

Maybe you want Max Holloway to be matched up with a middle of the pack LW, because some of you are more worried about his health than his own mother.
Or maybe you prefer to see him matched up with some LW wrestler trying to grind him down.
Cool to know.

BTW, Gaethje is not even one of the biggest LWs, he steps into the cage just above 170lbs, which is around average for the division and not far from what Max himself weights.

Dustin is bigger but anyways, Max is the biggest weight cutter at FW. Gaethje is not a big LW.
The size/weight difference is nothing we dont regularly see in plenty of match ups in every division.

To claim that "Gaethje kills Max" as if its not even a competitive fight or Max would come in as a massive underdog is way out of touch, even if I'd put my money on Gaethje

You are leaving out something very important, Max's style would not help him at all in a fight VS Gaetje.

Dude blocks punches with his face

That's why i think Max should fight topuria who is similar to Justin but shorter.

If you say that Justin should be favorite in that match up, or that it's a tough fight for Max cool, I agree. Any LW top contender would be a tough fight for him anyways, including grappling specialists.

Said that, all these shertards saying "Justin kills Max brooo" "it's a missmatch bro", "Gaethje is so much huuge bro", need to get a grip, educate themlselves, and realize that it's actually very likely that this fight takes place down the road.

Basically because Max, not me, Max, has recently "guaranteed that 100% will move up to LW" and let me know a more interesting match up for Max than Justin Gaethje, or that would get him more money in PPVs

Topuria vs Vok/Max is an intriguing match up too of course. Topuria is the real deal.

I think max excels because of his size and WC, I also think he would be average at LW and bullied by the top, Maybe he could fight Fiziev sized LW's that will have a harder time finding his chin but a guy like Justin (fiziev too i guess but you get me) could really hurt him, especially considering Max is too tough for his own good.

Dustin gave him a temporary CTE didn't he?

Dustin gives temporary CTE to most people he fights, doesnt he?
Max actually gave him some of his toughest time in the feet.

Max would not be average at LW by any means, although not as dominant as a FW.
I actually think he would have more trouble dealing with the best wrestlers in LW.

I have Gaethje as the favourite in this match up. He is top3 LW in the world.
Max would be more of a challenge than large majority of LWs though and its just a wet dream of a match up for any fight fan.

This fucking guy<45>
Get off max dick would you.. no he did not, he actually almost got ko'd in the 1st rd and his face was destroyed at the end of there 2nd fight!! And he got crushed in the 1st fight.. I almost think you are max brother at this poin.

Fucking guy has absorbed more significant strikes than anyone ever in the ufc.. let that sink in.

Get off my dick.
And get another hobby, puber.

Calm down maxipad

 

[TRVITMVNZ]

A birdie tells me this is in the works to being official. Look for it to be official soon

 

[Trabaho]

Max showed his lack of power at LW already. Gaethje would finish him in his current form.

 

[CasualBot]

Max does not deserve that type of abuse ... just to please the shergods.



Just give him the belt.
Who else taught a guy boxing defense,
while beating the guy senseless... in a title fight.


It's essentially meaningless in the first place.
Somehow, Max makes it legit.

 

[Kampfpanzer]

It would literally take 10 years off Max's life. It would be hard to watch

 

[dc007]

Max looked so outgunned vs Dustin at 55 and Dustin is not Justin. Would be a mess of a fight and bad loss for Max.

 

[HHJ]

max would get destroyed

 

[old school 2]

If Volk asks for another shot at LW tittle, he has all the right for it.

Thats why Gaethje vs Max is the fight to make.
And because its just a hell of a match-up worthy of a PPV headliner and a BMF tittle

Volko and Max have zero wins and one loss at LW in the UFC. That doesn’t get you a shot at the belt or Gaejthe .

 

[old school 2]

Even when fighting as a FW, Max doesnt get into the cage much lighter than Justin does as a LW. Less so if Max moves up.
Not disparity in height/reach neither.

Dustin also dusted Gaehtje btw.
You need to educate yourself.
And to get a grip if you actually think odds for this match up would not be fairly close

Gaejthe just killed Dustin, I love Max too much to see him take the beating Tony did. BTW, Gaejthe KTFO of Volko as well !

 

[Rum that Chimay-Leffe]

This is the fight to do if you want to shorten Max's lifespan
