Holloway needs to fire his management

Holloway management have got to be the worst in the business.

You set your fighter up to fight a guy he is 0-2 against. If he goes 0-3 (highly likely) his legacy and reputation are damaged forever.

Meanwhile the fighter Holloway destroyed in under a round is the champagne of 155. Holloway is getting too big for 45 so it's the right time to move up and get the easiest fight he could get for a world title. But the management team is dumb and passed on the perfect opportunity in favor volk who is short but he can fight and does have 2 wins against max and will add a 3rd one.

And you can even recall an old saying like if a burger with cheese aint much heavier than a burger without it. Management doesn't know hoe to weigh options. That's the sign of bad management and needs to be replaced.

But I doubt max will do it. He's from Hawaii and they have the reputation for being laid back chill people. So he will do the fight with volk and not complain. But in the end it won't be his fault if he loses. He probably didn't even want to take this fight. Because remember he was hesitant to do the second fight. Dana basically made him do it because Dana hates folk and loves max. So point is that max probably has no idea how badly he's being mismanaged.

Did you ever consider that Volk might be a little bit better? Max doesn't belong at 155, he's too small and his lack of power will be an even bigger problem there. I love Max but he's 30 and he's a very high mileage 30. It could just be that he's reached his ceiling as a fighter and fighters are catching up and slowly starting to pass him. I don't have a problem with the management. If Oliveira is still champ he might eventually want to take a crack at him. As Max says, "It is what it is".
 
Just can’t get hyped for Max VS Volk 3, I’d rather watch a WMMA title fight.
 
I was listening to "Unlocking the Cage" on Sirius yesterday, and the way MMA is going makes me wanna puke. They were saying that since the first 2 fights were close, then Holloway wins the third...ANOTHER immediate rematch for Volk. If Holloway wins again, ANOTHER one, to make the best of 5. They said the same thing about Aljo/Yan. I guess I'm old school, but I'll NEVER think that an immediate rematch is a good idea. If you lose, you work your way back up.

The first fight ... How?
Second fight I can see the argument, though I think Volk edged it because Max coasted in the 3rd and never got the momentum back.

Yeah that guy was on shrooms watching the fight, it's a 49-46 AT BEST, live I had it 50-45 and I love Holloway.

Gtfo here, every mma fighter/caoch/journalist have all publicly called the second fight a robbery, and true fans with remember the history.
Last time max tried moving up to 155 it went real bad.
 
How can his legacy be damaged by losing to Volk a third time? It doesn't erase his prior accomplishments. What a dumb thing to say, lol.
 
Holloway is a scrawny dude, height doesn’t equal overall size. He would lose fights at lw as well.

2021 Oliveira at lw is a different beast, there is no guarantee that a rematch between these 2 would be like the first.

you think:
max would jump the line at lw.....
and that charles is the easier fight than volk?

that's your thread......

smh.......
 
I thought he won the 2nd one but whatever
 
Maybe Max doesnt have the pussy kind of thinking you have and he knows he won last time against Volk and is pretty confident hell beat him with a statement this time, wich will crown him as Champion once again, cementing him as a candidate for FW GOAT along with aldo and also upping his chances of challenging the campion in the weightclass above. Good day.
 
Holloway is a weight bully he doesn't want to face big 155 er ever again

He arguably won the first fight and he definitely won the second fight. The judging in the rematch was shit. So I don’t think his management is that dumb, taking a high paying fight he very likely can win

With the exception that he lost both times.
 
I don’t think moving up is a good idea for max.

i remember watching the Poirier fight and really fucking feeling some of those shots Max was getting hit with. Would like to see him get his belt back and keep his health, I don’t see him fighting for any more than 5 years at the absolute most. Fucking love max
 
This will be just as fun was when the UFC had Cain fight JDS and Bigfoot over and over for 5 years.

Great use of Volks and Max's talent and marketability...
 
It’s a huge risk, but he has basically cleaned out 145. Lol no balls no babies. I thought Max won the second fight fairly decisively, so I am looking forward to the third fight.

Why do you just assume fighting oliveria is an motion for him? Gaethje is getting that fight next then there is Islam and dariush
 
1. His management doesn't choose his fights or the weight he fights on.

2. How are his legacy and reputation going to be ruined? Volk is not the first guy to beat Max and probably won5be the last, losing fights doesn't delete your accomplishments from history.
