Dana White comments about Max Holloway

[KazDibiase]

Dude is 26 years old in his prime, what a damn shame. He might get stripped.

 

[PokerMage]

getting stripped and taking time off and healing is probably the best thing that could happen to him.

i wish him a full recovery and we get to see him at his best again.

i think so many guys are gonna have long term health issues due to huge weight cutting. and it can help the onset of CTE. fucking around with your brain chemistry before a fight just has to create more problems.

i wonder if Max's body after that stupid attempt to cut 25+lbs to fight Khabib may have pushed his body over the edge.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Said situation... hoping nothing serious. Injuries and suspensions have stolen prime of many great fighters...

 

[DopeZach]

Hmm very serious obviously, wonder if they would strip him of the belt if it would be a long time actually. Business has to move on regardless at a certain point.

Iced..

 

[AP_RESURRECTION]

He's a young man. Hope things work out and he's back to normal soon. I could see if his condition was exaggerated to justify calling the fight...I hope that is the case personally. I like Max and he seems like a good enough guy and hard worker. If he's really punch drunk/concussed at this stage in the game, I hope his coaching situation improves. Hopefully it's nothing like what BJ Penn got at times.

Time for a vacation Max, the boss is pissed anyway.

 

[ANIM4L]

he just got from disneyland

 

[Dozer .]

Max should rest up and go for the LW strap

 

[gevoudane]

Maybe he had to much kava kava.

That cut did less damage then Khabib would have done to him

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Said it before.... maybe it’s not CTE or concussions? He almost looked f’d up on pills and or alcohol. I would hate that for him, but that would explain a lot.

 

[Substance Abuse]

This situation just screams TJ Grant to me. I hope I'm incredibly, horribly wrong. I love to watch Max fight.

 

[mirellale]

Dominick Cruz was stripped after being out for 3 years.Max isn't getting stripped

 

[Hoop]

If he's really punch drunk/concussed at this stage in the game, I hope his coaching situation improves. Hopefully it's nothing like what BJ Penn got at times.

He does seem to get heavy inbetween fights and he is starting to naturally fill out. If his training camps are centered around him getting the weight off more than working on skill-set and technique, it's obvious he needs to move up and I think look after himself inbetween fights.

He's not very muscular and I wonder if the lack of that hinders him holding in that water weight when he's at the last stage of getting the lbs off.

 

[bosox32]

Drugs or CTE. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s been “banging”/sparring since he was 10 years old.

Don’t know much about his training but if you know Waianae I’m sure it wasn’t the smartest.

Yeah I agree with you. He’s 26 and I’ve watched two interviews with Max from this week where I said, “wow. This is fucked up.” Dude was out of it. I pray this dude is okay.

He needs to step away for a while and come back at 155. No way is he fighting at 145. Ortega fights the winner of Stephens/Aldo for the official featherweight championship later this year.

 

[cws80us]

Strip him. He's now missed 2 consecutive title defenses. Don't hold up the division. You can't be champion if you can't fight. Period.

Youth doesn’t mean anything. See Chris Holdsworth. This could be career ending.
