nobody is losing sleep over Max lol
I am.
nobody is losing sleep over Max lol
He defended his title 5X
He showed up with 11 days notice for 294 helping save a card that was falling apart (bonus points with UFC execs)
2 of the 3 losses were OUTSIDE of his weight class and one on short notice
13-1 in his weight class in the UFC
Go watch fight again
Volks next fight might be the rematch. But that doesn't mean Ilias next fight will be Volk again.You're going to assume that volk is not getting a rematch? Lmao
we should know better by now, it's like NBA street, you gotta win by 2
English is not my native language and i dont care if u dont like it (ყლე არავის გადაუღუნო)You go watch fight again and maybe brush up on your English while you’re at it.
Max was rocked badly by Pourier. He should not fight Gaejthe. Stylistically he may be more successful against Topuria, but he takes a lot of shots, which may not work out.Dude... do you realize how ridiculous you sound.. Max has fought everyone and has never even been staggered.. you are wrong actually .. He started in jits at the age of 4.. started wrestling after that..
While I agree ilia could grapple fuck max, in a straight up boxing match only I think max would win. Because of max output and ability to cut angles like he does he would ilia often and go body head body and essentially wear him out. I’m not sure ilia would have the gas tank to go with max. Kattar was getting tons of praise for his boxing and for most part his fight with max was mostly boxing and max lit him up like a Christmas tree the whole time.Dude ilia is my childhood friend and please shut up ilia started greco roman wrestling first then jitsu at 15 years old ilia is high level grappler/wrestler who can box if he need he will wrestlefuck anyone in division
Pro tip: you don't need to understand the metric system to compare reach in that case, as long as you can do the most basic math.Max's reach: 175 cm
Ilia's reach: 175 cm
For those of you that have problems with the metric system, it means they have the same reach.
Aldo also had deadly leg kicks in the WEC (e.g., the Faber fight). While he used them some in the UFC, he didn't wreck people with them the way Gaethje, Poatan and others do. He basically became a pointfighting antiwrestler-kickboxer when he came to the UFC. I'm not knocking him--it worked. But the alleged super-high level BJJ game and gruesome leg kicks didn't really materialize in his reign as UFC champ.Doesn’t matter what he started with, Aldo beat Cobrinha in BJJ twice, never really looked good at BJJ in MMA (at a UFC level).
If he tried to wrestle max he would gas out like he did against Yousuff Zalal, holding on for a 2-1 victory.
I do believe he can beat Max with boxing and I think he’d crack his chin.
