Holloway would have looked like Filho

[Rvd Slmr]

I guess he would have missed weight and looked out of his mind if the fight wasn't cancelled. Reminds me of how Filho wasn't pulled-out against Sonnen and it was both sad and terrible. I know it sucks to lose such an anticipated fight, but it's really for the best.

Holloway would have looked like Anthony Perosh.

Holloway would have looked like Anthony Perosh.

Or possibly Shad...

Filho was on some serious drugs at that time

It's not Paulo's fault the WEC cage was haunted.

Yeah Max is usually pretty energetic but looked out of it in that interview. Just keep it off until later, I don't want Edgar Ortega 2

I don't think anybody is upset because of him pulling out over his medical issue. Of course, that's in his best interest! The problem we have is that this is now the THIRD time this year alone that he has pulled from a fight which is unacceptable. Call it bad luck, or poor training habits, idk! The best thing to do at this point is to make an interm belt with Ortega and Stephens or even Frankie if he's down, and let Max sit out until the end of the year. It's gotta be hard now to want to put him on a big card because realistically he's a high risk. Max must have some personal distractions going on because this has not been his year at all. If Brian Ortega doesn't stay on the card (and it looks like he won't) then it will be a dissappoinment. Makes you appreciate these guys like Conor who will literally fight anyone, anytime.

That was a epic fight. Not even close, Paulo was talking to dead relatives with the help of Pfizer.

Just woke up to hear this news. This fucking sucks. I was looking forward to this fight more then anything. I had a hidden fear Max would pull out, given he couldn't make weight at LW, to fight Habib. Max showed no signs of "concussion" during the recent embedded episodes...so either something happened VERY recently to cause it, which would be sooooo fucking stupid, and his fault (think Ken Shamrock vs Kimbo), or he knows he isn't going to make weight, and can't deal with the stain of missing weight twice in a row. Signs of concussion? Easy; talk slow, slur a lot (or more then usual), stumble while walking...shit is easy to get others concerned about. I'm NOT saying Max couldn't be suffering from concussions, but not anymore then anyone else on this card.
