Can you really be the BMF Champ

When you decline the offer

Love Max, but this looked bad against Ilia.

Max was winning before getting caught, but y’all ain’t ready to have that conversation.

He was winning before he got Knocked Out? OK, hopefully he gets a trophy for that or something.

You can't point at the center 3 seconds into round 1, that's not how that works.

Topuria has otherworldly power and unproven cardio. We don't know how it holds up over 5 rounds. It would be foolishness for Max to stand and trade with him in the pocket that early in the fight.

Definitely ready to have that conversation lol.

Max looked awesome and was winning some rounds. I don't think he won the first, but he could have. It was really close. But then I think he won the 2nd half of the 2nd enough to take the whole round. The 3rd he was losing clearly and then got KOd.

It was still a great effort by Max even though he got KOd.

We saw him hit hard over 5 rounds against Josh. His power was holding up well enough then.

 

[TheNewGame]

He made up for it with some badass improv

He has stated that he is the best boxer in the UFC, if he really believes this and is truly the Baddest Muther Fucker out there then he has to accept the offer and prove it.

Oh right, the one time he went to decision in the UFC against a one-dimensional forty-year-old. I'd honestly forgotten about that fight.

Anyway, not saying Topuria would completely gas out, but most power punchers become less dangerous as the fight goes longer. And it would have been silly to stand in the pocket with Ilia when both guys are 100% fresh.

Not in the first 3 seconds of round 1.

Let's not forget, footwork and cardio are both part of boxing.

 

[koquerelle]

What a weird take.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

trying to steal another mans move is weaksauce. imho

An '04 account making something either this ignorant or disingenuous is not what I had on my bingo card for a Thursday night. Fucking Boomers.

Why anyone would look to give someone as great of a person and as legendary of a fighter as Max shit for something so irrational is beyond me, but hey, it is the internet.

Yeh, power punchers def slow down. I think Topuria is pretty good at pacing himself though. He was doing that well against Max.

'04 Boomer account is not wrong but, bruz.

 

[laleggenda27]

TS has weird energy.

Either way, it's a great gif with a fun little interaction.

Regardless of the thread title, the intent is to make Max look like a lesser than for not throwing down one second into a big fight when power punching isnt a specialty of his. It's as dumb as it would have been for Max to do it. I know Ilia's nards are in your stomach at this point, but I didn't think they blinded you as well, lol.

Hopefully Ilia starts fighting more than once every ten months. When he's 32 fights in, I wonder if he'll be earning title shots. He'll be almost 40 by then at this rate.

 

[Egészségére!]

Was the BMF belt on the line or the LW title?

I thought he won the first 2 rounds and was close to pulling away but then shit happened. I think he would win a rematch.
