Holloway's resume

[DOMMA]

Max is 32 and has one of the most impressive UFC resumes of all time. He has fought almost exclusively top guys, ranked 1- 20, for the past decade:

Never ducks a fight, fights in multiple weight classes, and is never in a bad fight. Tough to dislike this guy.

 

[Frode Falch]

Legit natural born badass fighting machine

 

[Sweater of AV]

If you don’t like Max Holloway then you’re a can.

There’s no other way around it.

 

[Fight Professor]

I keep forgetting Max is only 32. It feels like he has been fighting for decades.

Many newer fans might not know that Holloway made his UFC debut at age 20 with a 4-0 pro record. He lost his debut fight to Dustin Poirier in February 2012. Since then, he’s fought 28 times, winning 22 of those fights, securing a championship belt, and defending it three times. Max Holloway has spent his entire career in the premier league, consistently facing the best fighters in his division. He's a legend, and depending on how his career ends, he might be considered one of the greatest.

its a very impressive resume. the dustin x2 and volk x3 losses still loom though.

he's riding a big wave currently with the gaethje win.

its gonna be interesting to see if he can continue it with a win over Ilia. its gonna be a fork in the road for his legacy.

I still say he beat Volk in the rematch. Max is a badass, and has the best chin in the sports history. I think he beats Topuria, and reclaim the FW Title.

 

[Ozze]

Didn't remember he fought Dustin before.
Dude has 5 losses to just two guys.

Makes his resume looks worst when you just consider the W-L numbers.

But it's impressive that everyone can probably recognize 90% of the fighters he has fought. Strong resume for sure.

It speaks to just how great that Volk is

he's a top 15 p4p, i favor bj over him a bit (I am extremely biased).

I feel like he will too but should be a good fight. I just want it to be a competetive one. I don't want Ilia to end up looking like he just won off Volk coming off a hard a loss too soon.

 

[RonDante]

He’s a top 10 goat minimum. I have him in my top 5. One of the best resumes in mma history

What website is that? Looks better than Wikipedia and Sherdog

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

Guy's an animal...

He has the build and skillset to make his fights so much easier for himself, but he comes out to put on a show and give the viewers what they want...

It's either ESPN or the UFC's website.

Obligatory "Max did ok in the UFC."









The fact that Max has been so consistent at the top of the sport for so long has to put him in GOATish territory.

Absolutely agree on the first two statements.

Re last: With everyone having a definitive ending to their ability to contend with the absolute best in the world, could a loss in his next fight merely be a sign of him being in the twilight of his career?

he's a top 15 p4p, i favor bj over him a bit (I am extremely biased).

Motivated BJ Penn at LW/WW might be about my favorite all time.
Unfortunately that fella's career was too short lived.

The coke really couldn't've helped.

Definetely not, he was second to Volk for too long for that be reasonable. That is like saying Matt Hughes is in GOAT territory.

He inarguably had way better peaks than Max but Max is definetely for consistent. Also 2 division champ>1 division champ, it depends on what you weigh more.

Dennis Bermudez is the only non elite name he’s lost to that entire time

Porier, McGregor (yes he was elite at 145), and Volk are his only other losses
