Let’s be real. Everyone thought Justin was gonna smash Max’s head and turn him to Tony Ferguson

Its not as if he threw a head kick that broke his nose intentionally, he literally threw a back kick that gaethje ended up running straight into, and boom broken nose.

Max said after the fight that Gathje had a habit of throwing and ducking to the side. The Spin kick that he landed was intentional. No he didn't aim for his nose specitically but the was trying to hit him while in the exact position Gathje was in. It wasn't an accident.

I do agree Gathje was compromised similarly to the way Rory was in his title fight with Robbie. Amazing they fought for almost another 4 rounds each with badly broken noses.

I have to completely disagree with the rest of your assesment.

He did it Tony and Karma came back.
Aka losing everything is an unnecessary bout when you have a title shot just gotta wait a little.

 

[Dr. Rose]

You're right but its not as if Holloway threw kick to face that landed. He threw body kick that ended up landing straight to nose through circumstances. A bit of luck there no?

It sounds more like :that's the fight game" more than mere "luck." Was Masividal "lucky" against Akren? Was Francis against Cain? Crazy things happen during fights. If he somehow punched himself, then you may be onto something.

If Max loses to Topuria, it'll be "He was never any good", rather than 'Ilia is a bad motherfucker.", lol.

Umm, not anyone that paid attention.

You should be allowed to automatically delete the "he or she was never any good" threads, they're a nuisance. Lol

Super unlucky collision = getting kicked in the face.

Seems legit.

Who comes up with this shit?

They're as good as the '______ was winning until he lost' threads.

Lose money? Or just all around salty about an epic finish for a guy most picked to finally get his chin cracked?

and. just. like. that.

 

[Dobymick]

I don't wanna be that guy while being that guy

 

[Clark Rogers]

Idk why some of you claim to like MMA. JFC what a terrible take.

 

[arcadeperfect]

If you throw a counter back kick it's going to deal damage regardless if it hits the face.

That Holloway vs Gaethje fight was complete bs. This is coming from someone who loves both fighters, they true BMFs and legends of the sport already. I do think Holloway is still a bit too small for 155 and that fight didn't change much imo, somebody has to say it, with people going around calling it the greatest knock out of all time, sorry but no.

The fight was over at end of first round. Was watching with a few friends also and what happened in last second of that round literally ended that fight right there to be honest, we all knew it. Gaethjes nose was broken from an super unlucky collision. Last second of the round, Holloway threw that spinning back kick to body, and at same time he was throwing kick, gaethje was going for takedown and Holloways kick ended up colliding with gaethjes nose straight on full force. It was super unlucky, bad mistake from Gaethje sure, but super lucky for Holloway to be honest. Its not as if he threw a head kick that broke his nose intentionally, he literally threw a back kick that gaethje ended up running straight into, and boom broken nose.

Broken nose in a fight is probably the worst thing that can happen. Aside from obvious pain, you can't breathe through your nose anymore, all breathing through mouth, and you can imagine how that would be in high intensity fight, where cardio and breathing is everything.

It just sucks that we didn't get to see a proper fight, Gaethje was in survival mode just looking for big shots rest of fight, while Holloway just pot shotting him at distance running around, I think its crazy that Holloway couldn't even finish him after first round, he only finished him because he baited him into a 5 second brawl where all odds in his favour to be honest, Gaethje had no choice either and obviously he got knocked out. Hes warrior for sticking it through all the way.

That wasn't a BMF fight and worst part is because of that one moment and broken nose, Gaethje got screwed and hes not getting near title anymore either. After watching a handicapped Gaethje fight Holloway like that, I think 9 times out of 10, Gaethje gonna whoop his ass to be honest, I still love Max but hes a 145er, Poirier second fight showed it as well. If anything, Holloway truly blessed and he got lucky he didn't take more of a beating against guy like Gaethje, and just enough of it being called greatest knockout too, somebody gotta call out these things, no offense to nobody. Both BMFs still for sure, but damn, Gaethje got screwed.

A salty Gaethje fan pretending he also like Max so he can then be salty about Gaethje losing and thinking no one will notice how biased his post is
