Max changed his approach a lot after the Poirier fight. Likely due to the damage he received. After the Edgar fight he talked a lot about communicating with his doctors and being healthy for his son later on in his life. With that his style has become much safer. He doesn't really go for the kill, nor does he put on the high volume as for example in the Ortega fight. The old Max who went out there, pointed to the ground and made it a scrap is gone as it seems. Even his movement disappointed in the Volk fight. He's much more stationary and abandoned a lot of his techniques. Hardy any kicks, combinations going forward etc. Kinda sad as he's one of my favs but I get it. He has his son who depends on him and thats obv. more important than any title.
