As predicted, Max now begins his Tony-like decline

[prime_lobov]

Called this; Max should have retired after the Gaethje fight. He had no chance against Topuria and will now be in full CTE-land. He can go help Volk run his deli or something.

Wheelchair for your brain.

He was doing well. Then he started the kneecap kicks and pissed Topuria off and paid for it.

He wasn’t really doing well. He was landing volume as always but Topuria was far faster and rocked him repeatedly. Was just a matter of when Max was gonna finally get KO’d

 

[Bork Neslar]

He just got caught. He wins the hematch easily imo.

 

[XThe GreatestX]

maybe? idk

i kinda doubt he would lose more than 3 in a row before hanging it up

He didn’t get completely dominated, people are idiots and just focus on the finish, Holloway was doing great until he got caugh by arguably the most powerful puncher at 145. Same thing with Volkanovksi against Topuria he was doing great. It’s not comparable to what Gaethje did to Ferguson who he beat from pillar to post.

Soooo... Max was on a decline after one of the biggest wins of his career and you're just going to discredit Ilia? Holloway was an exceptional win. Don't be this stupid.

A very biased description of the fight. Fight was even the first 2 rounds.

Holloway was surviving well the first two round but then Ilia closed in and one of those punched landed.

Max should have pulled a DC and do a random eyepoke to keep distance (no points taken for the first time) but it is what it is.

I've never understood people that make a profile on a karate board to troll people. This is really niche and finding this as a trolling place while funny is kinda weird.

Max looked amazing at 155 against Gaethje, no reason he can't be competitive at LW

Not to discredit Ilia; he looked sharp. Also the Gaethje win spectacular and would have been a great end to Max’s career.

max has made a career in eating insane amount of punches. Eventually the chin goes like all the other greats.

Even on the scorecards, but if you were actually watching it was clear Max was doomed. The power difference was enormous.

 

[Hank Grill]

He can't have a Tony fall off cause max was the champ is the current 155 bmf If that means anything. Tony was interim and if we look at his streak it doesn't hold up well.
I get you might not be a Max fan but calling for a Tony like fall is prematurely like Ian Gerry is.

 

[StoneWT]

Eh, he mostly likely was shot in terms of getting knocked out in the Gaethge fight, but he got lucky breaking Gaethge's nose early. He only pointed to swang and bang when Gathge was the walking dead.

This fight was lost when he bitched out and declined when Ilia pointed to swang and bang at the beginning. He was scared and that fear eventually consumed him.

155 might be a better fit at this stage in his career to avoid the weight cut and protect his brain. Gaethje was compromised for most of that fight though, took multiple eye pokes, etc.

Yeah both Max and Volk looked good until they got cracked, Ilia just hits like a mini mack truck.

If Volk gets the rematch he needs to wrestle for as long as possible, make it boring if he has too, only way he can possibly win, but that said Ilia can wrestle so he might be fucked LOL.

fuck off
