Do we really need to see Dustin vs Max 3?

[FilipEmoFights]

I just don’t like this fight…especially as Dustin’s last bout. How many times do we need to see him fight Max? How many losses does Max want to Dustin?
I just feel like there are better matches for both at Lightweight and that Dustin beating Max again wouldn’t be a real achievement, especially a Beltess coming off of a KO loss Max.

 

[HNIC215]

Honestly, no.

But UFC is dying, okay?

 

[benebox]

I wouldn't mind it, but why on earth would Dustin take it when he is already 2-0. He is 1-1 with Justin so that fight makes sense, otherwise he should be aiming for which ever one between Olivera or Topuria doesn't get the title shot.

 

[tritestill]

Not interested what so ever in that fight.

 

[VinceArch]

Doesn't make much sense to me. Perhaps Dustin is confident he's a better fighter than Max and knows he can beat him a 3rd time?

 

[podsox]

It’s going to be an entertaining but I agree. I want them both in a fresh matchup

 

[Gabe]

I’ll watch but there are more fun fights for both guys.

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

Why is DP ducking Paddy?

 

[Prazeres]

There is enough intrigue considering how different Max looked when he actually had time to bulk up to 155 for UFC 300.
This being Dustin last fight make me okay for once about the lightweight top 5 logjam.

I think the fight is bad matchmaking since dustin gains nothing from it other than retiring with a BMF belt if he wins and I don't think anyone really cares about that belt. He's already 2-0 over max, a better fight is dustin vs ilia or dustin vs gaethje 3

agreed and do max/charles

 

[gentel]

I'd prefer Justin-Dustin 3 to settle the rivalry with possible double retirement

But although Max is 0-2 I actually think he beats Dustin these days, he gave Topuria two hard rounds before Topuria found the finish. With a proper bulk to 155, being a bit younger and having improved his boxing a lot, I see him winning

 

[BarbellzNbacon]

I'd like to see max vs someone else. This match up doesn't excite me.

Loser gets paddy

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Is this fight happening or is it just being talked about?

 

[JoeRowe]

Their last fight is one of my top-3 favorite fights ever so I'm excited at prospect of a 3rd. I think Max will win this time too.

If they go Max/Charles & Poirer/Gaethje 3 I wouldn't be upset about it though.

 

[m249viking]

Definitely NO

 

[this is my new account]

No we dont. I love them both. No need to see it again..max vs Conor. Yes. Poirier VS toporia is a YES.

Max vs ANY TOP 5 LW is cool. Give him hooker. Or tsarukiyan.

I wish rematches were illegal.

It's more like "all signs are pointing to it" rather than it being talked about.


Dustin pretty much confirmed he wants no part of illa, Max hasn't been booked at LW since moving there, Dustin says he wants to fight a legend, Max is pretty much all that fits the bill. I dont remember if it was dariush, or armen, but someone said the UFC is making this fight
