Alright.
Max is 5'11" and TJ is 5'7' at best.
Max has a 69" reach and TJ has a 67" reach.
Max is 27 and TJ is 32.
Max has some of the best distance control in the game, while TJ is not particularly impressive in that area.
Since 2014, Max is on a 13 fight win streak. He's stopped 10 of those men. Of those men he has stopped are guys like Aldo, Ortega, Pettis, and Swanson.
Since 2014. TJ is 8-1. However, except for Cody and Barao, the only guy he has finished, is Soto, and it took him until the fifth round to do so. Couldn't finish Easton, Raphael, or Lineker.
Also, Max might not be able to make 145 for much longer, Not only does TJ have zero problems making 135, but is actually fighting Cejudo at 125. Max would have to sell his soul and cut off a leg and a hand to make 125.
Max would eat him alive.
