Awesome fight!

 

[Rajon Rondo]

hit him with teh jab

 

[RemyR]

Another fight where I made money off Dustin. Don’t bet too much but Dustin was the underdog here for some reason so I had to put money on him. It’s hilarious how overlooked he has been until only recently.

Been two years already? Damn

 

[CashMoney1991]

what a banger, there's so many ufc fights where you can place it in the top 10

 

[Weuylf]

I remember it being one sided but its actually very competitive. Great fight.

 

[Franklin U.]

Yeah it was. Dustin evolving and beating beasts while Conor gets fed a shopworn cerrone...... then Conor opens a massive favorite over DP. What an overlay ( which the franklin u. said before the fight).

 

[Safton]

I could have attended that event in-person, too... still kick myself for missing the opportunity in hindsight.

 

[James T]

Max is tuff as nails

 

[Otto!]

Great fight. Time flies!

What a night, what a card. Crazy how overlooked this fight is because of the Co-main before it.

I remember it being one sided but its actually very competitive. Great fight.

Competitive but with a clear winner. It was a great fight

One of the best fights we’ve had in the last 2-3 years the way I see it.

I agree. Both brought out the best of each other.

Competitive but with a clear winner. It was a great fight

I watched that fight 3 times at 3 differnet times over the last couple of years, and sure i would've given it to Dustin bc of the bigger shots and slightly better control, but Max truly came on in rounds 3-5. First 2 Dustin, last three were way closer than the media made it out. Also Dana screaming that Max should go back down to Featherweight bc he's too small, blah blah. He took Dustin's best shots and still kept coming forward. Dustin is really just that good. I'd pick Max against a lot of the lightweights in the top 10

 

[Kos Fan]

If Conor won’t fight Dustin then make this rematch.

 

[VinceArch]

Already two years, damn where does the time go? I remember that fight like it was yesterday, along with Izzy-Gastelum.

 

[Gio]

If Conor won’t fight Dustin then make this rematch.

This is actually a rematch between these two, and Dustin is already 2-0 vs Max.

Alltime great fight one of the highest level combined skill displayed b/w both combatants . Way better than Kelvin Izzy
